W ARNING: Never let a passenger hold a child on his or her lap while the vehicle is moving. The passenger cannot protect the child from injury in a collision, which may result in serious injury or death. W ARNING: Never use pillows, books, or towels to boost a child. They can slide around and increase the likelihood of injury or death in a collisio[...]

If the child is the proper height, age, and weight (as specified by your child safety seat or booster manufacturer), fits the restraint and can be restrained properly , then restrain the child in the child safety seat or with the belt-positioning booster . Remember that child seats and belt-positioning boosters vary and may be designed to fit child[...]

Installing child safety seats with combination lap and shoulder belts If needed, when installing some high back child restraints, the head restraints of the second row seating positions can be removed.

3. While holding the shoulder and lap belt portions together , route the tongue through the child seat according to the child seat manufacturer’ s instructions. Be sure the belt webbing is not twisted. 4. Insert the belt tongue into the proper buckle (the buckle closest to the direction the tongue is coming from) for that seating position until y[...]

8. Remove remaining slack from the belt. Force the seat down with extra weight, e.g., by pressing down or kneeling on the child restraint while pulling up on the shoulder belt in order to force slack from the belt. This is necessary to remove the remaining slack that will exist once the additional weight of the child is added to the child restraint[...]

however the safety belt can still be used to attach the child seat. For forward-facing child seats, the top tether strap must also be attached to the proper top tether anchor , if a top tether strap has been provided with your child seat. See Attaching child safety seats with tether straps and Recommendations for attaching safety restraints for chi[...]

W ARNING: Never attach two child safety seats to the same anchor . In a crash, one anchor may not be strong enough to hold two child safety seat attachments and may break, causing serious injury or death. W ARNING: Depending on where you secure a child restraint, and depending on the child restraint design, you may block access to certain safety be[...]

If the safety seat is not anchored properly , the risk of a child being injured in a crash greatly increases.

T ether straps[...]

2. Locate the correct anchor for the selected rear seating position. • Y ou may need to pull the seatback forward to access the tether anchors. Make sure the seat is locked in the upright position before installing the child seat. Refer to Folding Down The Rear Seats in this chapter for information on how to operate the rear seats. 3. Slide open [...]

4. Clip the tether strap to the anchor and return the seat back to its locked position. If the tether strap is clipped incorrectly , the child safety seat may not be retained properly in the event of a collision. 5. T ighten the child safety seat tether strap according to the manufacturer’ s instructions. T o unhook the tether strap, unfasten the[...]

Although the lap/shoulder belt will provide some protection, children who have outgrown a typical child seat are still too small for lap/shoulder belts to fit properly , and wearing an improperly fitted vehicle safety belt could increase the risk of serious injury in a crash. T o improve the fit of both the lap and shoulder belt on children who hav[...]

T ypes of booster seats There are generally two types of belt-positioning booster seats: backless and high back. Always use booster seats in conjunction with the vehicle lap/shoulder belt. • Backless booster seats If your backless booster seat has a removable shield, remove the shield. If a vehicle seating position has a low seat back or no head [...]

Children and booster seats vary in size and shape. Choose a booster that keeps the lap belt low and snug across the hips, never up across the stomach, and lets you adjust the shoulder belt to cross the chest and rest snugly near the center of the shoulder . The drawings below compare the ideal fit (center) to a shoulder belt uncomfortably close to [...]

Follow all instructions provided by the manufacturer of the booster seat. W ARNING: Never place, or allow a child to place, the shoulder belt under a child’ s arm or behind the back because it reduces the protection for the upper part of the body and may increase the risk of injury or death in a collision.

INFLATING Y OUR TIRES Safe operation of your vehicle requires that your tires are properly inflated. Remember that a tire can lose up to half of its air pressure without appearing flat. Every day before you drive, check your tires. If one looks lower than the others, use a tire gauge to check pressure of all tires and adjust if required. At least o[...]

The cold inflation pressure should never be set lower than the recommended pressure on the Safety Compliance Certification Label or T ire Label.
