Essential Safety Equipment

Child Restraint

  Always remove the head restraint and 
install child-restraint system:

  Installing a child-restraint system 
without removing the head restraint is 
dangerous. The child-restraint system 
cannot be installed correctly which 
may result in death or injury to the 
child in a collision.
  

  Always install the head restraint and 
adjust it to the appropriate position 
after removing the child-restraint 
system:

  Driving with the head restraint 
removed is dangerous as impact to the 
occupant's head cannot be prevented 
during emergency braking or in a 
collision, which could result in a serious 
accident, injury or death.
  Refer to Head Restraints on page  2-8 .
