CAUTION:

A child in a child restraint in the center front seat
can be badly injured or killed by the right front
passenger air bag if it inflates, even though your
vehicle has Next Generation frontal air bags.
Never secure a child restraint in the center front
seat. It’s always better to secure a child restraint
in the rear seat. You may secure a forward

facing

child restraint in the right front passenger seat,
but before you do, always move the front
passenger seat as far back as it will go. It’s better
to secure the child restraint in a rear seat.

Wherever you install it, be sure to secure the child
restraint properly.

Keep in mind that an unsecured child restraint can move
around in a collision or sudden stop and injure people in
the vehicle. Be sure to properly secure any child
restraint in your vehicle 

--

 even when no child is in it.

Top Strap

AV155001

If your child restraint has a top strap, it should be
anchored. If you need to have an anchor installed, you
can ask your dealer to put it in for you. If you want to
install an anchor yourself, your dealer can tell you how
to do it.

Canadian law requires that child restraints have a top
strap, and that the strap be anchored.
