Section 2
CAUTION
If a child restraint is not
properly secured in the vehicle,
the restraint will not be able to
protect a child sitting there. In a
crash, the child could be
seriously injured or killed.
Before installing a child restraint in
the front passenger position,
remove any additional material
from the seat such as blankets,
cushions, seat covers, seat heaters
or seat massagers.
See "Passenger Sensing System"
earlier in this section for more
information.
Route the belt through the
restraint and buckle the belt. Then,
feed the shoulder belt back into
the retractor while pushing down
on the restraint.
Follow the manufacturer's
instructions.
Push and pull the child restraint in
different directions to make sure it
is secure.
If your vehicle is equipped with
child restraint anchors and the
restraint that you need to secure is
equipped with anchor attaching
points, see "Anchors for Child
Restraints with Lower Attaching
Points and Top Strap" later in
this section for information on
securing the restraint.
Child restraints that require the
top strap to be anchored can only
be used in rear seating positions.
There are no anchor brackets
available for front seating
positions.
Also, do not use a child restraint
that requires the top strap to
be anchored in the third row
passenger's side seating position.
There are no anchor brackets
available for this seating position.
See "Top Strap" later in this
section.
Accident statistics show that
children are safer if they are
properly restrained in a child
restraint system secured in the rear
seat.
It is therefore recommended that
children in child restraints and
older children who are large
enough to wear a safety belt be
secured in a rear seat position.
