Essential Safety Equipment

Child Restraint

Form No. 8R09-EA-02G

Follow the Manufacturer’s Instructions and Always Keep the Child-Restraint System 
Buckled Down:
An unsecured child-restraint system is dangerous. In a sudden stop or a collision it 
could move causing serious injury or death to the child or other occupants. Make sure 
the child-restraint system is properly secured in place according to the child-restraint 
system manufacturer’s instructions. When not in use, remove it from the vehicle or 
fasten it with a seat belt, or latch it down to BOTH LATCH lower anchors for LATCH 
child-restraint systems.

Holding a Child While the Vehicle is Moving:
Holding a child in your arms while the vehicle is moving is extremely dangerous. No 
matter how strong the person may be, he or she cannot hold onto a child in a sudden 
stop or collision and it could result in serious injury or death to the child or other 
occupants. Even in a moderate accident, the child may be exposed to air bag forces 
that could result in serious injury or death to the child, or the child may be slammed 
into the adult, injuring the adult. Always secure a child in a proper child-restraint 
system.

Rear-Facing Child-Restraint System:
When a rear-facing child-restraint system is installed on the passenger’s seat and the 
passenger-side air bag deactivation switch is not in the OFF position, it is extremely 
dangerous. In an accident, the air bag could inflate and cause serious injuries or even 
death to the child in the rear-facing child-restraint system. When using a rear-facing 
child-restraint system, always set the passenger-side air bag deactivation switch to 
OFF position.

WARNING
