Child Seat Restraint System
CAUTION 100067
The child seat may only be used in a forward facing seating location.
The child seat should be installed and secured according to the manufacturer's
directions. If the child seat has a top strap it will need to be anchored.
Passengers should not be allowed to sit at locations where the seat
belts are being used to secure the child seat.
All vehicles are equipped with a dual-mode type retractor with emergency
and automatic locking features. The automatic locking feature is for restraint
of a child seat. The child seat can be secured by pulling the seat belt
all the way out to lock it. Then, tighten the seat belt around the child
seat.
If a child seat is to be used in the second seat position, a special
dealer-installed anchor must be used to anchor the child seat top strap. (This
only applies to the seats designed with the top strap provision and for
the vehicles sold in Canada). In order to assure the correct top strap angle,
the child seat is only to be used at the seating position for which the top
strap anchor is installed.
