If children open a door, they could injure other<br />
persons or get out of the vehicle and injure<br />
themselves or be injured by following traffic.<br />
Do not expose the child restraint system to<br />
direct sunlight. The child restraint system's<br />
metal parts, for example, could become very<br />
hot, and the child could be burned on these<br />
parts.<br />

passenger compartment, or trunk (sedan), or<br />
cargo compartment (wagon) unless they are<br />

Important safety notes<br />
G Warning<br />
Observe "Important safety notes"<br />
(Y page 58).<br />
We recommend all infants and children be<br />
properly restrained using the child restraint<br />
systems at all times while the vehicle is in<br />
motion.<br />
The use of infant or child restraints is required<br />
by law in all 50 states, the District of<br />
Columbia, the U.S. territories and all<br />
Canadian provinces.<br />
Infants and small children should always be<br />
seated in an infant or child seat restraint<br />
system appropriate for the size and weight of<br />
the child. They must be properly secured in<br />
accordance with the manufacturer's<br />
installation instructions for the infant or child<br />
seat restraint system. All infant and child seat<br />
restraint systems must comply with the US<br />
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards 213<br />
and 225 and Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety<br />
Standards 213 and 210.2.<br />
A statement by the child restraint<br />
manufacturer of compliance with these<br />
standards can be found on the instruction<br />
label on the restraint system. You will also<br />
find the statement in the instruction manual<br />
provided with the child restraint system.<br />
When using an infant restraint system, child<br />
restraint system or booster seat, make sure<br />
to carefully read and follow all manufacturer's<br />
instructions for installation and use.<br />
Please read the warning labels affixed to the<br />
interior of the vehicle or to the infant restraint<br />
or child restraint system.<br />
G Warning<br />
Accident statistics show that children<br />
secured in the rear seats are safer than<br />
children secured in the front-passenger seat.<br />
For this reason, we strongly advise that you<br />
always secure children in the rear seats.<br />
Regardless of the seat position, children<br />
under 12 years must be secured correctly in<br />
a suitable infant or child restraint system or<br />
booster seat suitable for the size and weight<br />
of the child.<br />
The infant or child restraint system must be<br />
correctly secured using the vehicle's seat<br />
belt, the seat belt and Top Tether belt or the<br />
lower anchorages and the Top Tether belt in<br />
complete accordance with the child seat<br />
manufacturer's instructions.<br />
Occupants, in particular children, must sit as<br />
upright as possible, fasten the seat belt<br />
correctly and use a suitable infant restraint<br />
