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.
