BOOSTER SEATS
For additional information on installing a
booster seat in your vehicle, follow the
instructions outlined in this section.
Precautions on booster seats
WARNING
If a booster seat and seat belt are not
used properly, the risk of a child being
injured or killed in a sudden stop or
collision greatly increases:
.
Make sure the shoulder portion of
the belt is away from the child’s face
and neck and the lap portion of the
belt does not cross the stomach.
.
Make sure the shoulder belt is not
behind the child or under the child’s
arm.
.
A booster seat must only be installed
in a seating position that has a lap/
shoulder belt.
LRS0455
Booster seats of various sizes are offered by
several manufacturers. When selecting any

mind:

Choose only a booster seat with a label
certifying that it complies with Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213 or
Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Stan-
dard 213.
.
Check the booster seat in your vehicle to
be sure it is compatible with the vehicle’s
seat and seat belt system.
