Top tether anchorage points
Your vehicle is equipped with child restraint top
tether anchorages in all second row seat posi-
tions (second-row seats only in 7-seat models).
Using the top tether anchorages
•Place the child restraint on the rear seat.
•Route the top tether strap under the head
restraint and fasten its attachment to the
anchorage.
WARNING
Be sure to fasten the child tether attachment
correctly to the anchor. If it is not correctly
fastened, the child seat may not be properly
restrained in the event of a collision.
•Firmly tension the top tether strap accord-
ing to the child restraint manufacturer's
instructions. Tension the top tether strap
only after the lower anchor straps or the
seat belt have been firmly tensioned.
For securing the child restraint to ISOFIX/
LATCH lower anchors,see page 47.
WARNING
•Never route a top tether strap over the
top or around the head restraint. It
should always be routed under the head
restraint.
•Child restraint anchorages are designed
to withstand only those loads imposed
by correctly fitted child restraints. Under
no circumstances are they to be used
for adult seat belts or harnesses. The
anchorages are not able to withstand
excessive forces on them in the event of
collision if full harness seat belts or adult
seat belts are installed to them. An adult
who uses a belt anchored in a child
restraint anchorage runs a great risk of
suffering severe injuries should a colli-
sion occur.
•Do not install rear speakers that require
the removal of the top tether anchors or
interfere with the proper use of the top
tether strap.

Folding the backrests—third row of
seats
Folding down the backrest
If necessary, fold in the load anchorage eyelets
before folding down the backrests.1. Move the seats in the second row as far
forward as possible, see page 108.
2. Pull up the handle, illustration 1 above.
3. Push the seat cushion firmly rearward,
under the backrest.

Fold down the backrests
2 (the head
restraints fold down automatically) to the
horizontal position.
WARNING
The seats in the third row are not equipped
with top tether anchors or ISOFIX/LATCH
lower child seat anchors. Child restraint sys-
tems should never be used on these seats.
Returning the backrest to the upright
position
1. Fold up the backrest to the upright posi-
tion.
2. Grasp the strap (see illustration 3 above)
and pull the seat cushion out until it locks
in place. This also locks the backrest in the
upright position.
WARNING
•When one or more sections of the back-
rest is returned to the upright position,
check that it is properly locked in place
by pushing and pulling it. The red indi-
cators should also not be visible.
•Return the outboard head restraints to
the upright position.
•Long loads should always be securely
anchored to help avoid injury in the
event of a sudden stop.
•Always turn the engine off and apply the
parking brake when loading/unloading
the vehicle.
•Place the transmission in the Park (P)
position to help prevent inadvertent
movement of the gear selector.
•On hot days, the temperature in the
vehicle interior can rise very quickly.
Exposure of people to these high tem-
peratures for even a short period of time
can cause heat-related injury or death.
Small children are particularly at risk.
2Please note that the head restraints in this row cannot be vertically adjusted.
