Front-seat Active Head RestraintsThe Active Head Restraint moves forward
utilizing the force that the seatback receives
from the occupant in a rear-end collision. The
movement of the head restraint helps support
the occupant’s head by reducing its backward
movement and helping absorb some of the
forces that may lead to whiplash-type injuries.
Active Head Restraints are effective for colli-
sions at low to medium speeds in which it is said
that whiplash injury occurs most.
Active Head Restraints operate only in certain
rear-end collisions. After the collision, the head
restraints return to their original positions.Properly adjust the Active Head Restraints as
described in this section.
ADJUSTABLE HEADRESTS (if so
equipped)
WARNING
The adjustable headrests supplement
the other vehicle safety systems. They
may provide additional protection
against injury in certain rear end colli-
sions. Adjust the headrest properly, as
specifiedinthissection.Checkthe
adjustment after someone else uses
the seat. Do not attach anything to the
adjustable headrest stalks or remove
the adjustable headrest. Do not use the
seat if the adjustable headrest has
been removed. If the adjustable head-
rest was removed, reinstall and prop-
erly adjust the headrest before an
occupant uses the seating position.
Failure to follow these instructions
can reduce the effectiveness of the
adjustable headrests. This may in-
creasetheriskofseriousinjuryor
death in a collision.

secure the cargo so it does not
contact the top tether strap. Cargo
that is not properly secured or that
contacts the top tether strap may
damage the top tether strap during
a collision. Your child could be
seriously injured or killed in a colli-
sion if the child restraint top tether
strap is damaged.
Top tether anchor point locationsAnchor points are located in the following
locations.
.On the seat cushion behind the outboard
and center seating positions (except for
Cargo Van models)
. On the floor behind the front passenger seat
(Cargo Van models)
SSS0986
WARNING
Do not attach upper tether anchors to
the luggage hooks. The child restraint
will not be properly installed. Your child
could be injured or killed in a sudden
stop or collision.Installing top tether strapFirst secure the child restraint with the LATCH
system (except for Cargo Van models: rear
outboard seating positions only) or the seat belt
as applicable.
SSS0967
Rear seats (except for Cargo Van models):
1. Position the top tether strap over the top of
the seatback and under the headrest.
2. Secure the tether strap to the tether anchor on the seat directly behind the child
restraint.
3. Tighten the tether strap according to the manufacturer’s instructions to remove any
slack.
For the best child restraint fit, see the child
restraint installation instructions in this section
and the child restraint manufacturer’s instruc-
tions.

4. The back of the child restraint should besecured against the seatback.
If necessary, remove the headrest to obtain
the correct child restraint fit. (See “ADJUS-
TABLE HEADRESTS” earlier in this sec-
tion.)
If the headrest is removed, store it in a
secure place. Be sure to reinstall the
headrest when the child restraint is re-
moved. If the seating position does not have
a removal headrest and it is interfering with
the proper child restraint fit, try another
seating position or a different child restraint.

5. For child restraints that are equipped withwebbing-mounted attachments, remove any
additional slack from the anchor attach-
ments. Press downward and rearward firmly
in the center of the child restraint with your
knee to compress the vehicle seat cushion
and seatback while tightening the webbing
of the anchor attachments.
6. If the child restraint is equipped with a top tether strap, route the top tether strap and
secure the tether strap to the tether anchor
point. (See “TOP TETHER STRAP CHILD
RESTRAINT” earlier in this section.)
SSS0638
Front-facing — step 7
7. After attaching the child restraint, test itbefore you place the child in it. Push it from
side to side while holding the seat near the
LATCH attachment path. The child restraint
should not move more than 1 inch (25 mm)
from side to side. Try to tug it forward and
check to see if the LATCH attachment holds
the restraint in place. If the restraint is not
secure, tighten the LATCH attachment as
necessary, or put the restraint in another
seat and test it again. You may need to try a
different child restraint. Not all child re-
straints fit in all types of vehicles.

Front-facing (front passenger seat) — step 1
Front-facingFollow these steps to install a front-facing child
restraint using the vehicle seat belt in the rear
seat (except for Cargo Van models) or in the
front passenger seat:
1. Adjust the rear seat to the upright andrearmost position.
If you must install a child restraint in
the front seat, it should be placed in a
front-facing direction only. Move the
seat to the rearmost position. Child
restraints for infants must be used in
the rear-facing direction and therefore
must not be used in the front seat. 2. Position the child restraint on the seat.
Always follow the child restraint manufac-
turer’s instructions.
The back of the child restraint should be
secured against the seatback.
If necessary, adjust the head restraint (front
passenger seat only) or remove the head
restraint/headrest to obtain the correct child
restraint fit. (See “HEAD RESTRAINTS”
earlier in this section and “ADJUSTABLE
HEADRESTS” earlier in this section.)
If the head restraint/headrest is removed,
store it in a secure place. Be sure to reinstall
the head restraint/headrest when the child
restraint is removed.
If the seating position does not have a
removable head restraint/headrest and it is
interfering with the proper child restraint fit,
try another seating position or a different
child restraint.

Front-facing — step 3
3. Route the seat belt tongue through the childrestraint and insert it into the buckle until you
hear and feel the latch engage. Be sure to
follow the child restraint manufacturer’s
instructions for belt routing.
