CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEMB230A04A-AATChildren riding in the car should sit in the
rear seat and must always be properly
restrained to minimize the risk of injury in
an accident, sudden stop or sudden
maneuver. According to accident statis-
tics provided by the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA),
children are safer when properly re-
strained in the rear seats than in the front
seat. Larger children not in a child re-
straint should use one of the seat belts
provided.
All 50 states have child restraint laws.
You should be aware of the specific re-
quirements in your state. Child and/or
infant safety seats must be properly placed
and installed in the rear seat. You must
use a commercially available child re-
straint system that meets the requirements
of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Stan-
dards (FMVSS).
Child restraint systems are designed to
be secured in vehicle seats by lap belts
or the lap belt portion of a lap/shoulder
belt, or by a ISOFIX system (If Installed).
Children could be injured or killed in a
crash if their restraints are not properly
secured.

2. Route the child restraint seat strap
over the seatback.
For vehicles with adjustable headrests,
route the tether strap under the head-
rest and between the headrest posts,
otherwise route the tether strap over
the top of the seatback.
3. Connect the tether strap hook (2) to the
child restraint hook holder (1) through
the hole on the covering shelf and
tighten to secure the seat.
!
WARNING:
o A child can be seriously injured or
killed in a collision if the child re-
straint is not properly anchored.
Always follow the child seat
manufacturer’s instructions for in-
stallation and use.
o Never mount more than one child
restraint to a single tether or to a
single lower anchorage point. The
increased load caused by multiple
seats may cause the tethers or an-
chorage points to break, causing
serious injury or death.
B230D07E-AATSecuring the Child Restraint Seat
with the "ISOFIX" SystemSome 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 connect to two
ISOFIX anchors at specific seating posi-
tions in your vehicle. This type of child
seat eliminates the need to use seat belts
to attach the child seat in the rear seats.

o Never mount more than one child
restraint to a single tether or to a
single lower anchorage point. The
increased load caused by multiple
seats may cause the tethers or an-
chorage points to break, causing
serious injury or death.
o When using the vehicle’s "ISOFIX"
system to install a child restraint
system in the rear seat, all unused
vehicle rear seat belt metal latch
plates or tabs must be latched se-
curely in their seat belt buckles and
the seat belt webbing must be re-
tracted behind the child restraint to
prevent the child from reaching and
taking hold of unretracted seat belts.
Unlatched metal latch plates or tabs
may allow the child to reach the
unretracted seat belts which may
result in strangulation and a serious
injury or death to the child in the child
restraint.
WARNING:
WARNING:
o A child can be seriously injured or
killed in a collision if the child re-
straint is not properly anchored.
Always follow the child seat
manufacturer’s instructions for in-
stallation and use.
o Never install a child restraint using
the ISOFIX anchors at the center po-
sition of the rear seat. In a crash, the
ISOFIX anchors may break if a car
seat is improperly placed in the cen-
ter position resulting in serious or
fatal injuries. Only place a ISOFIX or
ISOFIX-compatible child seat in the
left or right out-board rear seating
positions (as shown) to the appropri-
ate ISOFIX anchors provided.
!
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.

Follow the child seat manufacturer's in-
structions to properly install safety seats
with ISOFIX or ISOFIX-compatible attach-
ments.
Once you have installed the ISOFIX child
restraint seat, assure that the seat is prop-
erly attached to the ISOFIX and tether
anchors. Also, test the safety seat before
you place the child in it. Tilt the seat from
side to side. Also try to tug the seat for-
ward. Check to see if the anchors hold the
seat in place.
!
WARNING:
A child can be seriously injured or killed
in a collision if the child restraint is not
properly anchored to the car and the
child is not properly restrained in the
child restraint. Always follow the child
seat manufacturer’s instructions for in-
stallation and use.
B230F01A-AATChild Restraint System Installation
on Rear Seat Center PositionUse the center seat belt for the rear seat
to secure the child restraint system as
illustrated. After installation of the child
restraint system, rock the child seat back
and forth, and side to side to ensure that
it is properly secured by the seat belt. If
the child seat moves, readjust the length
of the seat belt. Then, if equipped, insert
the child restraint tether strap hook into
the child restraint hook holder and tighten
to secure the seat. Always refer to the
child restraint system manufacturer's rec-
ommendation before installing the child
restraint system in your vehicle.
