Airbags can kill or injure a child in a child seat. NEVER place a
rear-facing child seat in front of an active airbag. If you must use a
forward-facing child seat in the front seat, move the vehicle seat all the
way back.
Children 12 and under should be properly restrained in a rear seating
position whenever possible. If all children cannot be seated and
restrained properly in a rear seating position, properly restrain the
largest child in the front seat.

WARNING:

A seat belt or child-restraint system can become

very hot in a closed vehicle during warm weather. To avoid

burning yourself or a child, check them before you or your child
touches them.

Installing child safety seats with combination lap and shoulder
belts

The rear seat head restraints must be removed when using a child
seat that utilizes the top tether anchor.

Check to make sure the child seat is properly secured before each use.
Children 12 and under should be properly restrained in a rear seating
position whenever possible. If all children cannot be seated and
restrained properly in a rear seating position, properly restrain the
largest child in the front seat.
When installing a child safety seat with combination lap/shoulder belts:

Use the correct seat belt buckle for that seating position.

Insert the belt tongue into the proper buckle until you hear a snap
and feel it latch. Make sure the tongue is securely fastened in the
buckle.

Keep the buckle release button pointing up and away from the safety
seat, with the tongue between the child seat and the release button,
to prevent accidental unbuckling.

Place vehicle seat back in upright position.

Put the seat belt in the automatic locking mode. Refer to step 5 below.
This vehicle does not require the use of a locking clip.

WARNING:

Depending on where you secure a child restraint,

and depending on the child restraint design, you may block

access to certain seat belt buckle assemblies and/or LATCH lower
anchors, rendering those features potentially unusable. To avoid risk of
injury, occupants should only use seating positions where they are able
to be properly restrained.
