This
will prevent unintended use of the
doors.
Leaving children without
adult supervision is illegal in most
states, Canadian provinces and
territories, and can be very
hazardous.
For example, infants and small
childrenleftinavehicleonahot
day can die f rom heatstroke. A
child lef t alone with the key in the
ignition switch can accidentally set
the vehicle in motion, possibly
injuring themselves or others. Even very young
children learn how to unlock
vehicle doors, turn on the ignition
switch, and open the tailgate,
which can lead to accidental injury
or death. Children who play in vehicles can
accidentally get trapped inside.
Teach your children not to play in
or around vehicles.
If a child
wraps a loose seat belt around
their neck, they can be seriously
or f atally injured. (See pages
and for how to activate
and deactivate the lockable
retractor.)
This can prevent children
f rom accidentally f alling out (see
page ). 1625150

restrained in a rear-f acing, reclining
child seat until the child reaches the
seat maker’s weight or height limit
f or the seat, and the child is at least
one year old.If the passenger’s front airbag
inflates, it can hit the back of the
child seat with enough f orce to kill or
seriously injure an inf ant.

very seriously injured during a
f rontal collision. Two types of seats may be used: a
seat designed exclusively f or inf ants,
or a convertible seat used in the rear-

When not using the LATCH system,
all child seats must be secured to the
vehicle with the lap part of a lap/
shoulder belt.
In addition, the lap/shoulder belts in
all seating positions except the
driver’s have a lockable retractor
that must be activated to secure a
child seat.
If you intend to install a child seat in
the center seating position of the
second and third row, make sure the
detachable seat belt is securely
latched (see page ).
You can also remove the rear head
restraints (see page ). The
removedheadrestraintsshouldbe
secured in the cargo area so they
will not be thrown while you are
driving. Make sure to replace the
head restraints when the child
seats are not in use.
Followsteps6and7onpage .
With the child seat in the desired
seating position, route the belt
through the child seat according
to the seat maker’s instructions,
then insert the latch plate into the
buckle and remove any slack f rom
the lap portion of the belt.

pulling up on the belt.
To activate the lockable retractor,
slowly pull the shoulder part of the
belt all the way out until it stops,
then let the belt f eed back into the
retractor.
