Child Restraint: Description and Operation

Install and secure the child seat according to the manufacturer's directions.

Rear-Facing infant seats must only be used in the REAR seat. NEVER use a rear-facing child restraint in the front seat of this vehicle. This type of restraint faces the rear so that the infants head, neck and body can have the support they need in a frontal crash. Rear-facing restraints are designed for infants up to about 20 lbs (9 kg) and about one year of age.

Some vehicles are equipped with rear-facing seats. Do not use a child seat on a rear-facing seat.

The automatic locking (cinch) feature can be used in order to secure the child seat.

If the child seat has a top strap, the child seat top strap must be anchored. This applies for seats designed with a top strap provision and for vehicles sold in Canada. Refer to Child Restraint Tether Anchor Replacement.

Do not allow passengers to sit at locations where the seat belts are being used in order to secure the child seat.
