BUILT-IN CHILD SEATS

Built-in child safety seat

(if equipped)

The rear seat may include a

built-in child seat. This child seat

conforms to all Federal and local

motor vehicle safety standards.

Read the labels located on the

child seat cushion and shoulder

belt for information on the built-in

child seat.

Use the built-in child seat only if

the child is at least 9 months old,

weighs 9–27 kg (20–60 lb) and the

child’s shoulders (top) are below

the shoulder harness slots in the

built-in child seat.

Children not meeting these

requirements should be secured in

an approved aftermarket seat.

Refer to Children and infant or

child safety seats in this chapter.

Built-in child seat retractors

The belts on built-in child seats

are equipped with a retractor that

locks when both tongues are

latched into the crotch safety belt

buckle. The retractor will

automatically snug the belts

around the child. If the belts do

not remain snug, take the vehicle

to the dealer for child seat repair.

The belts will not snug during a

collision.
