Transporting children safelyOlder children should be tightly secured
with a safety belt, after they have out-
grown a booster seat that is appro-
priate for their age, height and weight.
Younger children should be secured in
an appropriate forward-facing child-
restraint system that has first been
properly secured with a safety belt.
Never install a rearward-facing child-
restraint system in the front passenger
seat.
We strongly urge you to carefully read
and comply with the instructions for
installation and use provided by the
child-restraint's manufacturer whenever
you use such a system.
Be sure that all occupants (of all ages)
remain properly and securely restrained
at all times.<
All rear seating positions in your
vehicle meet the recommendations
of SAE J1819, an industry-recom-
mended practice for securing child-
restraint systems in motor vehicles.
Child-restraint installationAll of the rear belt retractors and the
front passenger's safety belt can be
locked for mounting and securing child-
restraint systems.
Information regarding this is located
near the buckle latch of each safety
belt.365us146
Lock the safety beltPull the entire length of the belt from
the belt retractor. Allow the reel to
retract the belt somewhat and engage
the buckle, then tighten the belt against
the child-restraint system. The retrac-
tion mechanism is now locked.Unlock the safety beltRelease the buckle, remove the child-
restraint device and allow the belt
retractor to reel the belt completely in.

Ski bag
*
The ski bag allows the safe and clean
transport of up to 4 pairs of standard
skis or up to two snowboards.
The length of the ski bag and the addi-
tional space provided in the luggage
compartment make it possible to carry
skis with a length of up to 6.8 ft
(2.1 0 meters). Because of the tapered
shape of the bag, the ski bag can only
accommodate two pairs of skis with a
length of 6.8 ft (2.1 0 meters).
Removing the center armrest(Not for vehicles with the through-
loading system and for the sport
wagon, refer to page 124.)
1. Fold the center armrest completely
outward
2. Loosen the trim from the upper
Velcro¨ fastener and place it on the
armrest
3. Grasp the front of the armrest with
one hand, then use your other hand
to reach down behind the armrest
and pull up sharply (arrow).394de748
Installing the center armrestGuide the armrest into position from
above, then apply pressure until you
hear it snap into position.
When removing and installing the
center armrest, be sure that the
seat covers are not damaged by the
side pins.<
