Securing a child restraint seat with
“Tether Anchor” system (if equipped)
Child restraint hook holders are located
on the shelf or floor behind the rear
seats.
1. Open the tether anchor cover on the shelf or floor behind the rear seats. 2. Route the child restraint seat strap
over the seatback.
For vehicles with adjustable headrest,
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 to the corresponding hook holder and tighten
to secure the seat.
WARNING- Auto lockmode
The lap/shoulder belt automatically
returns to the “emergency lock
mode” whenever the belt is allowed
to retract fully. Therefore, the pre-
ceding seven steps must be fol-
lowed each time a child restraint is
installed.
If the safety belt is not placed in the
“Auto lock” mode, severe injury or
death could occur to the child
and/or other occupants in the vehi-
cle in a collision, since the child
restraint will not be effectively held
in place.

rectly, the child restraint seat may not
be restrained properly in the event of
a collision. Do not mount more than
one child restraint seat to a tether
anchorage, since the anchorage can
then fail in a collision.

Curtain air bag (if equipped)
Curtain air bags are located along both
sides of the roof rails above the front and
rear doors.
They are designed to help protect the
heads of the front seat occupants and the
rear outboard seat occupants in certain
side impact collisions. The curtain air bag deployment occurs
only on the side of the vehicle affected
by the impact.
The side air bags (side and/or curtain air bags) are not designed to deploy in
collisions from the front or rear of the
vehicle or in most rollover situations.
The curtain air bags are designed to deploy only in certain side-impact colli-
sions, depending on the crash severity,
angle, speed and impact.
