short trips.

prior to use.
• Keep sharp edges and damaging
objects away from the belts.
• Periodically inspect belt webbing,
anchors, buckles and all other parts for
signs of wear and damage. Replace
damaged, excessively worn or ques-
tionable parts immediately.
• To clean the belt webbing, use a mild
soap solution recommended for clean-
ing upholstery or carpets. Follow the
instructions provided with the soap.
• Do not make modifications or additions
to the safety belt.
• After wearing a safety belt, make sure
it fully retracts to the stowed position.
Do not allow the belt to get caught in
the door when you close it.

on the back of the rear seat cushions.1. Route the child restraint seat strap
over the seatback.

Child seat lower anchors
Some child seat manufacturers make
child restraint seats that are labeled as
International Standards Organization
Fixed (ISOFIX) or ISOFIX-compatible
child restraint seats. These seats include
two rigid or webbing mounted attach-
ments that connect to two ISOFIX
anchors at specific seating positions in
your vehicle. This type of child restraint
seat eliminates the need to use seat belts
to attach the child seat in the rear 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.
The ISOFIX anchors are located
between the seatback and the seat cush-
ion of the rear seat left and right outboard
seating positions.
WARNING
- Child restraint anchorage
• Child restraint anchorages are
designed to withstand only those
loads imposed by correctly fitted
child restraints. Under no circum-
stances are they to be used for
adult seat belts or harnesses or
for attaching other items or
equipment to the vehicle.
• The tether strap may not work
properly if attached somewhere
other than the correct tether
anchor.
