WARNING:To minimize risk of severe injury in the event
of a collision or sudden stop, both the driver
and passenger seatbacks should always be in
a nearly upright position while the vehicle is
in motion. The protection provided by the
seat belts and airbags in a frontal collision
may be reduced significantly when the
seatback is reclined. There is greater risk
that the driver and passenger will slide
under the seat belt which may result in
serious injury if a crash occurs when the
seatback is reclined.

Securing the Child Restraint Seat with
the "ISOFIX " System
Some child seat manufacturers make safety
seats that are labeled as ISOFIX or ISOFIX-
compatible child seats. These seats include two
rigid or webbing mounted attachments that con-
nect to two ISOFIX anchors at specific seating
positions in your vehicle. This type of child seat
eliminates the need to use seat belts to attach
the child seat for forward-facing child seats.
ISOFIX anchors have been provided in your
vehicle. The ISOFIX anchors are located in the
left and right outboard rear seating positions.
Their locations are shown in the illustration.
There is no ISOFIX anchor provided for the
center rear seating position.
