Use this booster cushion only with children who weigh between 33 and 80 lbs (15 and 36 kg) and whose height is
between 38 and 54 in (97 and 137 cm). In Canada, Transport Canada's weight recommendation is 40-80 lbs (18-
36 kg).
The booster cushion is designed to raise the child higher, so that the shoulder strap crosses over the child's collarbone,
not over the child's neck. If using a booster cushion does not result in proper positioning of the shoulder strap, then the
child should be placed in a properly secured child restraint (see the information beginning on page 32
). The shoulder
belt must never be placed behind the child's back or under the arm.
1Canada only: This cushion may be referred to as a built- in booster cushion.

Folding down the rear seat backrests
The rear seat backrests can be folded down together, or separately, to make it easier to transport long objects.
1. Pull the release control handle(s).
2. Fold the backrest forward. Adjust the center seat head restraint if necessary.
NOTE
The outboard head restraints must be folded up (in the upright position) before lowering the backrests.
WARNING
Keep vehicle doors and the trunk locked and keep keys out of a child's reach. Unsupervised children could lock
themselves in an open trunk and risk injury. Children should be taught not to play in vehicles.
On hot days, the temperature in the trunk or vehicle interior can rise very quickly. Exposure of people to these
high temperatures for even a short period of time can cause heat-related injury or death. Small children are
particularly at risk.
