Important Safety Information (continued)
• Do not use this Positioning Restraint System in the front seat
of a vehicle with a passenger air bag unless the air bag is
turned off. DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY can occur. According to
accident statistics, individuals are safer when properly restrained in
the rear seat than in the front seat. Regardless of seating position,
the Federal government recommends that all children under twelve
years of age ride in the rear seat.
• When using this Positioning Restraint System in a vehicle with
side air bags, refer to the vehicle owner’s manual for child restraint
installation instructions and precautions.
• Do not use this Positioning Restraint System with vehicle seats that
face to the side or rear or with vehicle seats with backs that can fold
forward in a crash or sudden stop. Check your owner’s manual or
with your dealer if you are not sure.
• Read the section on vehicle seat belt compatibility to determine
the type of seat belts that may be used with this Positioning Restraint
System.
• Do not route the vehicle seat belt over the user while using this
Positioning Restraint System.
• The harness assembly is for use only with the CSI-2000 Positioning
Restraint System. Do not use the harness independently of the seat.
• If your Positioning Restraint System becomes badly worn or
damaged, or is involved in an accident, regardless of speed and
regardless how minor, your restraint system may no longer be
effective and should immediately be replaced.
• Secure this Positioning Restraint System even when it is not
occupied; in a crash, an unsecured restraint may injure vehicle
occupants.
• The metal parts on a restraint system can heat up if the vehicle is
parked in the sun. To avoid injury to the occupant, always check
that the metal parts are not too hot before putting the occupant in the
seat. We recommend if you park in the sun, covering your seat with
a blanket or towel to help keep the metal parts from heating up.
• Never leave children unattended in the vehicle, even if they are
secured in a restraint system. Children could be seriously or fatally
injured from excessive exposure to extreme heat or cold.
