Protecting Children
To deactivate the locking
mechanism in order to remove a
child seat, unlatch the buckle,
unroute the seat belt, and let the belt
fully retract.
Installing a Child Seat with the Lap
Belt
To install a forward-facing child seat
in the center back seat with the lap
belt, follow instruction number 1 on
for routing and latching the
seat belt. Then pull hard on the loose
end of the belt to remove any slack;
it may help to put weight on the child
seat while pulling on the belt. Finally,
follow instruction number 5 on page
to verify that the child seat is
secure.
Additional Precautions for Small
Children
Never hold a small child on your
lap. If you are not wearing a seat
belt in a crash, you could be
thrown forward into the
dashboard and crush the child.
If you are wearing a seat belt, the
child can be torn from your arms
during a crash. For example, if
your vehicle crashes into a parked
vehicle at 30 mph (48 km/h), a
30-lb (14 kg) child will become a
900-lb (410 kg) force, and you will
not be able to hold on.
Never put a seat belt over yourself
and a child. During a crash, the
belt could press deep into the child
and cause very serious injuries.
