Using a child restraint system

For small children and babies, the use of
a child seat or infant seat is required. This
child seat or infant seat should be of
appropriate size for the child and should
be installed in accordance with the man-
ufacturer's instructions. It is further
required that the seat be placed in the
vehicle's rear seat. Your vehicle is provid-
ed with child restraint hook holders for
installing the child seat or infant seat.

Placing a passenger seat belt into
the auto lock mode

The auto lock mode will help prevent the
normal movement of the child in the vehi-
cle from causing the seat belt to loosen
and compromise the child restraint sys-
tem. To secure a child restraint system,
use the following procedure.

To install a child restraint system on the
outboard or center rear seats, do the fol-
lowing:
1. Place the child restraint system in the

seat and route the lap/shoulder belt
around or through the restraint, follow-
ing the restraint manufacturer’s
instructions. Be sure the seat belt web-
bing is not twisted.
