REAR-FACING CHILD RESTRAINT

INSTALLATION USING THE SEAT

BELTS

WARNING

.

The three-point seat belt with

Automatic Locking Retractor

(ALR) must be used when instal-

ling a child restraint. Failure to

use the ALR mode will result in

the child restraint not being prop-

erly secured. The restraint could

tip over or be loose and cause

injury to a child in a sudden stop

or collision. Also, it can change

the operation of the front pas-

senger air bag. See “Front pas-

senger air bag and status light”

(P.1-63).

.

When installing a child restraint

system in the 3rd center seat

position, both the center seat belt

connector tongue and buckle

tongue must be secured. See

“3rd row center seat belt” (P.1-26).

Do not use the lower anchors if the

combined weight of the child and the

child restraint exceeds 65 lbs (29.5 kg). If

the combined weight of the child and the

child restraint is greater than 65 lbs (29.5

kg), use the vehicle’s seat belt (not the

lower anchors) to install the child re-

straint. Be sure to follow the child re-

straint manufacturer’s instructions for

installation.
Follow these steps to install a rear-facing

child restraint using the vehicle seat belts

in the rear seats:

BOOSTER SEATS
Precautions on booster seats

WARNING

If a booster seat and seat belt are not

used properly, the risk of a child

being injured in a sudden stop or

collision greatly increases:

.

Make sure the shoulder portion of

the belt is away from the child’s

face and neck and the lap portion

of the belt does not cross the

stomach.

.

Make sure the shoulder belt is not

behind the child or under the

child’s arm.

.

A booster seat must only be

installed in a seating position that

has a lap/shoulder belt.

LRS0455

Booster seats of various sizes are offered

by several manufacturers. When selecting

any booster seat, keep the following

points in mind:

.

Choose only a booster seat with a

label certifying that it complies with

Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard

213 or Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety

Standard 213.

.

Check the booster seat in your vehicle

to be sure it is compatible with the

vehicle’s seat and seat belt system.

.

Make sure the child’s head will be

properly supported by the booster

seat or vehicle seat. The seatback

must be at or above the center of

the child’s ears. For example, if a low

back booster seat

is chosen, the

vehicle seatback must be at or above

the center of the child’s ears. If the

seatback is lower than the center of

the child’s ears, a high back booster

seat

should be used.

.

If the booster seat is compatible with

your vehicle, place your child in the

booster seat and check the various

adjustments to be sure the booster

seat is compatible with your child.

Always follow all recommended pro-

cedures.

LRS0464

All U.S. states and Canadian provinces

or territories require that infants and

small children be restrained in an ap-

proved child restraint at all times while

the vehicle is being operated.
