A
child in a rear-facing child restraint can be
seriously injured if the right front passenger’s air
bag inflates. This is because the back of a
rear-facing child restraint would be very close to
the inflating air bag. Always secure a rear-facing
child restraint in the rear seat.
You’ll be using the lap-shoulder belt. See the earlier part
about the top strap
if
the child restraint has one.
1.
Because your vehicle has a right front passenger
air
bag, always move the seat as far back as it will
go
before securing a forward-facing child restraint. (See
“Seats” in the Index.)
for
the child restraint.
2.
Put the restraint on the seat. Follow the instructions
3.
Secure the child in the child restraint as the
instructions say.
4.
Pick
up
the latch plate, and
run
the lap and shoulder
portions
of
the
vehicle’s
safety belt through
or
around the restraint. The child restraint instructions
will show
you
how.
If
the shoulder belt goes
in
front of the child’s face or
neck, put it behind the child restraint.
5.
Buckle the belt. Make sure the release button is
positioned
so
you would be able to unbuckle the
safety belt quickly if you ever had to.
