TABLE OF CONTENTS

SEAT BELT
• Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat belt properly.
WARNING!
In a collision, you and your passengerscan suffer much greater injuries if you are not
properly buckled up. You can strike the interior of your vehicle or other passengers, or
you can be thrown out of the vehicle. Always be sure you and others in your vehicle
are buckled up properly.
CHILD RESTRAINTS
• Children 12 years and under should ride properly buckled up in a rear seat, if
available. According to crash statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in
the rear seats rather than in the front.
• Every state in the United States and all Canadian provinces require that small children ride in proper restraint systems. This is the law, and you can be prosecuted for
ignoring it.
WARNING!
• In a collision, an unrestrained child, even a tiny baby, can become a projectileinside the vehicle. The force required to hold even an infant on your lap could
become so great that you could not hold the child, no matter how strong you are.
The child and others could be badly injured. Any child riding in your vehicle should
be in a proper restraint for the child's size.
• Rearward-facing child seats must NEVERbe used in the front seat of a vehicle with a
front passenger airbag. An airbag deployment could cause severe injury or death to
infants in this position.
Installing The LATCH-Compatible Child Restraint System
• Your vehicle's second row passenger seats are equipped with the child restraint
anchorage system called LATCH, which stands for Lower Anchors and Tether for
CHildren. LATCH child restraint anchorage systems are installed at all three rear
seating positions.
• Both rear outboard seating positions and the rear center seating position have lower anchors and top tether anchors.
• Child seats with flexible or fixed rigid attachments can be installed in all rear seating positions. Child seats can be installed using the LATCHsystem in either or both
outboard seating positions or the center po sition, but not all three at the same time. If
a child seat is installed in an outboard seating position using the lower anchors, then
the vehicle seatbelt must be used for the center position.
• Never install LATCH-compatible child seats such that two seats share a common lower
anchorage.

GETTING STARTED

• The rear seat lower anchorages are roundbars, located at the rear of the seat cushion
where it meets the seatback. They are just
visible when you lean into the rear seat to
install the child restr aint. You willeasilyfeel
them if you run your finger along the
intersection of the seatback and seat
cushion surfaces.
• In addition, there are tether strap anchorages behind each rear seating position located in the panel between the rear seat back and the rear window. These tether
strap anchorages are under a plastic cover.
• Loosen the adjusters on the lower straps and tether straps so that you can attach the hook or connector to the lower and tether anchoragesmore easily.
• Attach the lower hooks or connectors over the top of the seat cover material.
• Then rotate the tether anchorage cover directly behind the seat where you are placing the child restrain and attach the tether strap to the anchorage, being careful to route
the tether strap to provide the most direct path between the anchor and the child
restrain.
• Tighten all three straps as you push the child restraint rearward and downward into the seat.
WARNING!
• Improper installation of a child restraint to the LATCH anchorages can lead to failureof an infant or child restraint. The child could be badly injured or killed. Follow the
manufacturer’s directions exactly when installing an infant or child restraint.
• An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to increased head motion and possible injury to the child. Use only the anchor positions directly behind the child
seat to secure a child restraint top tether strap.
Installing The Child Restraint Using The Vehicle Seat Belts
• To install a child restraint, first, pull enough of the seat belt webbing from the retractor
to route it through the belt path of the child restraint and slide the latch plate into the
buckle.
• Next, extract all the seat belt webbing out of the retractor and then allow the belt to retract into the retractor. Finally, pull on any excess webbing to tighten the lap portion
around the child restraint. Any seat belt system will loosen with time, so check the
belt occasionally, and pull it tight if necessary.
• Rotate the cover over the anchor directly behind the seat where you are placing the child restraint. These tether strap anchorages are under a plastic cover.

• Route the tether strap to provide the most direct path for the strap between the
anchor and the child seat.
• Attach the tether strap hook of the child restraint to the anchor and remove slack in the tether strap according to the child restraint manufacturer’s instructions.
FRONT SEATS
WARNING!
Adjusting a seat while the vehicle is movi ng is dangerous. The sudden movement of
the seat could cause you to lose control. The seat belt might not be properly adjusted,
and you could be injured. Only adjust a seat while the vehicle is parked.
Manual Seat Adjustment
Manual Front Seatback Recline
• Lean forward in the seat and lift the seatback release lever, then lean back to
the desired position and release the lever.
• Lift the lever to return the seatback to an upright position.
Lumbar Support
• Rotate the lumbar adjust lever forward to increase and rearward to decrease the
desired amount of lumbar support.
WARNING!
Do not ride with the seatback reclined so that the seat belt is no longer resting against
your chest. In a collision, you could slide under the seat belt and be seriously or even
fatally injured. Use the recliner only when the vehicle is parked.

REAR SEAT
Folding Rear Seatback
• Pull on the loops, located near the outer topof the seatbacks, to fold down either or
both seatbacks. These loops can be tucked
away when not in use.
• When the seatback is raised to the upright position, make sure it is latched by strongly
pulling on the top of the seatback above the
seat loop.
WARNING!
• Be certain that the seatback is securely locked into position. If the seatback is notsecurely locked into position, the seat will not provide the proper stability for child
seats and/or passengers. An improperly latched seat could cause serious injury.
• The cargo area in the rear of the vehicle (with the rear seatbacks in the locked-up or folded-down position) should not be used as a play area by children when the
vehicle is in motion. They could be seriously injured in an accident. Children should
be seated and using the proper restraint system.
