WARNING
. Do not ride in a moving vehicle when the
seatback is reclined. This can be danger-
ous. The shoulder belt will not be
against your body. In an accident, you
could be thrown into it and receive neck
or other serious injuries. You could also
slide under the lap belt and receive
serious internal injuries.
. For the most effective protection when
the vehicle is in motion, the seat should
be upright. Always sit well back in the seat with both feet on the floor and
adjust the seat properly. See
“Precau-
tions on seat belt usage” later in this
section.
. After adjustment, gently rock in the seat
to make sure it is securely locked.
. Do not leave children unattended inside
the vehicle. They could unknowingly
activate switches or controls. Unat-
tended children could become involved
in serious accidents.
. The seatback should not be reclined
further than necessary for comfort. Seat belts are most effective when the pas-
senger sits well back and straight up in
the seat. If the seat back is reclined, the
risk of sliding under the lap belt and
being injured is increased.

WARNING
Head restraints supplement the other vehi-
cle safety systems. They may provide addi-
tional protection against injury in certain
rear end collisions. Adjust the head re-
straints properly, as specified in this sec-
tion. Check the adjustment after someone
else uses the seat. Do not attach anything
to the head restraint stalks or remove the
head restraint. Do not use the seat if the
head restraint has been removed. If the
head restraint was removed, reinstall and
properly adjust the head restraint before an
occupant uses the seating position. Failure
to follow these instructions can reduce the
effectiveness of the head restraints. This
may increase the risk of serious injury or
death in a collision.

WARNING
The adjustable headrests supplement the
other vehicle safety systems. They may
provide additional protection against injury
in certain rear end collisions. Adjust the
headrests properly, as specified in this
section. Check the adjustment after some-
one else uses the seat. Do not attach
anything to the adjustable headrest stalks
or remove the adjustable headrests. Do not
use the seat if the adjustable headrests
have been removed. If the headrest was
removed, re-install and properly 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 increase
the risk of serious injury or death in a
collision.

2. Secure the child restraint anchor at-
tachments to the LATCH lower anchors.
Check to make sure the LATCH attach-
ment is properly attached to the lower
anchors.
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 “Installing top
tether strap” in this section. Do not
install child restraints that require the
use of a top tether strap in seating
positions that do not have a top tether
anchor.

3. The back of the child restraint should
be secured against the vehicle seat-
back.
If necessary, adjust or remove the
headrest to obtain the correct child
restraint fit. If the headrest is removed,
store it in a secure place. Be sure to
reinstall the headrest when the child
restraint is removed. See“Adjustable
headrest” earlier in this section for
headrest adjustment information.
If the seating position does not have an
adjustable head restraint or headrest
and it is interfering with the proper child restraint fit, try another seating
position or a different child restraint.

Forward-facing (front passenger seat) —
step 1
Refer to all Warnings and Cautions in the
“Child safety” and“Child restraints” sec-
tions before installing a child restraint.
Follow these steps to install a forward-
facing child restraint using the vehicle seat
belt in the rear seats or in the front
passenger seat:
1. If you must install a child restraint in
the front seat, it should be placed in a
forward-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 man-
ufacturer’s instructions.
The back of the child restraint should
be secured against the vehicle seat-
back.
If necessary, adjust or remove the head
restraint or headrest to obtain the
correct child restraint fit. If the head
restraint or headrest is removed, store
it in a secure place. Be sure to reinstall
the head restraint or headrest when
the child restraint is removed. See
“Head restraints” earlier in this section
or “Adjustable headrest” earlier in this
section for head restraint or headrest
adjustment, removal and installation
information.
If the seating position does not have an
adjustable head restraint or headrest
and it is interfering with the proper
child restraint fit, try another seating
position or a different child restraint.

3. Route the seat belt tongue through the
child restraint 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.
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 (rear seat installa-
tion only). See “Installing top tether
strap”. Do not install child restraints
that require the use of a top tether
strap in seating positions that do not
have a top tether anchor.
