Safety of Infants and Small Children ■ Protecting Infants An infant must be properly restrained in a rear-facing, reclining child seat until the infant reaches the seat maker’s weight or height limit for the seat, and the infant is at least one year old.


■ Positioning a rear-facing child seat Child seats must be placed and secured in a rear seating position.


When properly installed, a rear-facing child seat may prevent the driver or a front passenger from moving their seat all the way back, or from locking their seat-back in the desired position.


It can also interfere with proper operation of the passenger’s advanced front airbag system.


2 Airbags P. 34


If this occurs, we recommend that you install the child seat directly behind the front passenger’s seat, move the seat as far forward as needed, and leave it unoccupied. Or, you may wish to get a smaller rear-facing child seat.

3WARNING


Placing a rear-facing child seat in the front seat can result in serious injury or death during a crash.


Always place a rear-facing child seat in the rear seat, not the front.


Rear-facing child seats should never be installed in a forward facing position.


Always refer to the child seat manufacturer’s instructions before installation.

uuChild SafetyuSafety of Infants and Small Children


■ Protecting Smaller Children If a child is at least one year old and within the weight range indicated by the child seat manufacturer, the child should be properly restrained in a firmly secured forward-facing child seat.


■ Forward-facing child seat placement We strongly recommend placing a forward- facing child seat in a rear seating position.


Placing a forward-facing child seat in the front seat can be hazardous, even with advanced front airbags that automatically turn the passenger’s front airbag off. A rear seat is the safest place for a child.


1Protecting Smaller Children


3WARNING


Placing a forward-facing child seat in the front seat can result in serious injury or death if the front airbag inflates.


If you must place a forward-facing child seat in front, move the vehicle seat as far back as possible, and properly restrain the child.


Educate yourself about the laws and regulations regarding child seat use where you are driving, and follow the child seat manufacturer’s instructions.


Many experts recommend use of a rear-facing seat up to age two, if the child’s height and weight are appropriate for a rear-facing seat.

uuChild SafetyuSafety of Infants and Small Children


■ Selecting a Child Seat Most child seats are LATCH-compatible (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren). Some have a rigid-type connector, while others have a flexible-type connector. Both are equally easy to use. Some existing and previously owned child seats can only be installed using the seat belt. Whichever type you choose, follow the child seat manufacturer's use and care instructions as well as the instructions in this manual. Proper installation is key to maximizing your child’s safety.


1Selecting a Child Seat


Installation of a LATCH-compatible child seat is simple.


LATCH-compatible child seats have been developed to simplify the installation process and reduce the likelihood of injuries caused by incorrect installation.


In seating positions and vehicles not equipped with LATCH, a LATCH compatible child seat can be installed using the seat belt and a top tether for added security. This is because all child seats are required to be designed so that they can be secured with a lap belt or the lap part of a lap/shoulder belt. In addition, the child seat manufacturer may advise that a seat belt be used to attach a LATCH-compatible seat once a child reaches a specified weight. Please read the child seat owner’s manual for proper installation instructions.


■ Important consideration when selecting a child seat Make sure the child seat meets the following three requirements: • The child seat is the correct type and size for the child.


• The child seat is the correct type for the seating position.


• The child seat is compliant with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213 or


Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213.

1Installing a Child Seat with a Lap/Shoulder Seat Belt


A child seat that is not properly secured will not adequately protect a child in a crash and may cause injury to the child or other vehicle occupants.


■ Installing a Child Seat with a Lap/Shoulder Seat Belt


1. Place the child seat on the vehicle seat.


2. Route the seat belt through the child seat according to the seat maker’s instructions, and insert the latch plate into the buckle. u Insert the latch plate fully until it clicks.


3. Slowly pull the shoulder part of the belt all the way out until it stops. This activates the lockable retractor.


4. Let the seat belt completely wind up into


the retractor, then try to pull it out to make sure the retractor is locked. u If you are able to pull the shoulder belt


out, the lockable retractor is not activated. Pull the seat belt all the way out, and repeat steps 3 – 4.


5. Grab the shoulder part of the seat belt near the buckle, and pull up to remove any slack from the lap part of the belt. u When doing this, place your weight on the child seat and push it into the vehicle seat.

3WARNING


Allowing a child age 12 or under to sit in front can result in injury or death if the passenger’s front airbag inflates.

• Does the shoulder belt cross between the


child’s neck and arm?


• Is the lap part of the seat belt as low as


possible, touching the child’s thighs?


• Will the child be able to stay seated like this


for the whole trip?


If you answer yes to all these questions, the child is ready to wear the lap/shoulder seat belt correctly. If you answer no to any question, the child needs to ride on a booster seat until the seat belt fits properly without a booster seat.

2012 Fit 1Booster Seats


When installing a booster seat, make sure to read the instructions that came with it, and install the seat accordingly.


There are high- and low-type booster seats. Choose a booster seat that allows the child to wear the seat belt correctly.


Some U.S. states and Canadian provinces and territories require children to use a booster seat until they reach a given age or weight (e.g. 6 years or 60 lbs). Be sure to check current laws in the state or province, or territory where you intend to drive.

■ Booster Seats


If a lap/shoulder seat belt cannot be used properly, position the child in a booster seat in a rear seating position. For the child’s safety, check that the child meets the booster seat manufacturer’s recommendations.


■ Protecting Larger Children-Final Checks Your vehicle has a rear seat where children can be properly restrained. If you ever have to carry a group of children, and a child must ride in front: • Make sure you read and fully understand the instructions and safety information


in this manual.


• Move the front passenger seat as far back as possible.


• Have the child sit upright and well back in the seat.


• Check that the seat belt is properly positioned so that the child is secure in the


seat.


■ Monitoring child passengers We strongly recommend that you keep an eye on child passengers. Even older, more mature children sometimes need to be reminded to fasten their seat belts and sit up properly.

Exhaust Gas Hazard


Carbon Monoxide Gas The engine exhaust from this vehicle contains carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless, and highly toxic gas. As long as you properly maintain your vehicle, carbon monoxide gas will not get into the interior.


■ Have the exhaust system inspected for leaks whenever • The exhaust system is making an unusual noise. • The exhaust system may have been damaged. • The vehicle is raised for an oil change.


When you operate a vehicle with the tailgate open, airflow can pull exhaust gas into the interior and create a hazardous condition. If you must drive with the tailgate open, open all the windows and set the heating and cooling * system as shown below.


1. Select the fresh air mode.


2. Select the


mode.


3. Set the fan speed to high.


4. Set the temperature control to a comfortable setting.


Adjust the heating and cooling * system in the same manner if you sit in your parked vehicle with the engine running.

1Carbon Monoxide Gas


3WARNING Carbon monoxide gas is toxic. Breathing it can cause unconsciousness and even kill you.


Avoid any enclosed areas or activities that expose you to carbon monoxide.


An enclosed area such as a garage can quickly fill up with carbon monoxide gas.


Do not run the engine with the garage door closed. Even when the garage door is open, drive out of the garage immediately after starting the engine.
