Child Safety

INSTALLING CHILD RESTRAINTS

BOOSTER SEATS

Booster Seat

WARNING: Read and follow the

manufacturer's instructions when you

are installing a child restraint.

Note: Always follow the manufacturer's

instructions for installing a child restraint

with a top tether.

WARNING: Do not attach the top

tether strap to anything other than the

correct top tether strap anchor point.

E70710

WARNING: Make sure that the top

tether strap is not slack or twisted and

is properly located on the anchor point.

Secure children that weigh greater than

15 kg (33 lb) but are less than 150 cm

(60 in) tall in a booster seat or on a

booster cushion.

We recommend that you use a booster

seat that combines a cushion with a

backrest instead of a booster cushion only.

The raised seating position will allow you

to position the shoulder strap of the adult

seatbelt over the center of your child's

shoulder and the lap strap tightly across

their hips.

WARNING: Make sure the child

restraint rests tightly against the vehicle

seat. You may need to adjust the seats

to properly secure the child restraint.

Make sure that the seat backrest is in an

upright position. It may also be necessary

to lift or remove the head restraint.

When using a child restraint on a front seat,

follow these seat positioning guidelines:

Booster Cushion

•

The child restraint must not be in

contact with the instrument panel.

•

Position the passenger seat as far

rearward as possible and route the

seatbelt forward and downward from

the B-pillar ring to the child restraint.

WARNING: When using a booster

cushion, make sure you adjust the vehicle

head restraint on that seating position.

•

If it proves difficult to tighten the lap

section of the seatbelt without slack

remaining, adjust the seat backrest to

the fully upright position and raise the

height of the seat.

Note: When using a child restraint on a rear

seat, adjust the front seat to a position to

prevent contact with the child's feet or legs.
