Once you have the top strap anchored,
you’ll be ready to secure the child restraint
itself. Tighten the top strap when and as
the child restraint manufacturer’s instruc-
tions say.Top Strap Anchor LocationTop strap anchors are already installed in
your vehicle for the three rear seating posi-
tions.
Do not use a child restraint with a top strap
in the right front passenger’s position
because there is no place to anchor the
top strap.Sedan
You will find the anchors on your vehicle
behind the rear seat on the filler panel.
Pull the front part of the plastic cover
upward to access the top strap anchors.Wagon
Top strap anchors are located at both sides
of the floor mat in the rear cargo area
behind the rear seat and at the center of
the upper rear roof.
Securing a Child Restraint with Top
StrapInstall the child restraint system as follows:
1) Remove the luggage compartment
cover (if equipped).
2) Secure the child restraint on the rear
seat using the procedure described in
“Securing a Child Restraint in a Rear
Seat Position” of this section.
3) Pull the front part of the plastic cover
upward to access the top strap
anchors.

WARNING
Each top tether bracket is designed
to anchor only one child restraint.
Attaching more than one child
restraint to a single bracket could
cause the anchor to come loose or
even break during a crash. A child or
others could be injured if this hap-
pens. To help prevent injury to people
and damage to your vehicle, attach
only one child restraint per bracket.

2-25 FEATURES AND CONTROLS
85Z03-03E
Luggage Compartment Cover
(Wagon only)Luggage or other cargo placed in the lug-
gage compartment can be hidden from
view by the luggage compartment cover.
To close the cover, pull the handle of the
cover toward you and then insert the
retainer into the slot located on both sides
of the tailgate opening.To remove the cover, release the handle
after pulling it toward you a little. The cover
retracts automatically.
Roof Rack (Wagon only)The roof rack can be used to conveniently
carry additional cargo, or bulky items, such
as bicycles, which are better carried out-
side than inside.AntennaFor the Sedan models, an antenna is inte-
grated with the rear window defogger,
located in the rear window. For the Wagon
models, an antenna is located in the wind-
shield glass. Be sure that the inside sur-
face of the rear window or windshield glass
is not scratched and that the lines on the
glass are not damaged. If the inside sur-
face is damaged, it could interfere with
radio reception.
Because this antenna is built into your rear
window or windshield glass, there is a
reduced risk of damage caused by car
washes and vandals.If you choose to add a cellular telephone to
your vehicle, and the antenna needs to be
attached to the glass, be sure that you do
not damage the grid lines for the antenna.
There is enough space between the lines
to attach a cellular telephone antenna with-
out interfering with radio reception.
Do not apply aftermarket glass tinting to
the back glass. The metallic film in some
tinting materials will interfere with or distort
the incoming radio reception. Care must
be taken when cleaning the rear window or
CAUTION
Do not carry items on top of the lug-
gage compartment cover, even if they
are small and light. Objects on top of
the cover could be thrown about in an
accident, causing injury, or could
obstruct the driver’s rear view.

WARNING
A loaded roof rack changes the vehi-
cle’s center of gravity. Do not drive at
high speeds. Take precautions when
driving in crosswinds. Failure to fol-
low this caution can result in vehicle
damage and personal injury.
WARNING
Using a razor blade or sharp object to
clear the inside rear window or wind-
shield glass may damage the antenna
and/or the rear window defogger.
Repairs would not be covered by
your warranty. Do not clear the inside
of the rear window or windshield with
sharp objects.
WARNING
Do not apply aftermarket glass tinting
with metallic film. The metallic film in
some tinting materials will interfere
with or distort the incoming radio
reception. Any damage caused to
your backglass antenna due to metal-
lic tinting materials will not be cov-
ered by your warranty.
