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

page

34

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

35

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.
