LRS0455
Booster seats of various sizes are offered
by several manufacturers. When selecting
any booster seat, keep the following points
in mind:
. Choose only a booster seat with a label
certifying that it complies with Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213 or
Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Stan-
dard 213.
. Check the booster seat in your vehicle
to be sure it is compatible with the
vehicle’s seat and seat belt system.
LRS0453
. Make sure the child’s head will be
properly supported by the booster seat
or vehicle seat. The seatback must be at
or above the center of the child’s ears.
For example, if a low back booster seat
*1is chosen, the vehicle seatback
must be at or above the center of the
child’s ears. If the seatback is lower
than the center of the child’s ears, a
high back booster seat
*2should be
used.
. If the booster seat is compatible with
your vehicle, place your child in the
booster seat and check the various
adjustments to be sure the booster seat is compatible with your child.
Always follow all recommended proce-
dures.

3. The booster seat should be positioned
on the vehicle seat so that it is stable.
If necessary, adjust or remove the head
restraint to obtain the correct booster
seat fit. If the head restraint is
removed, store it in a secure place. Be
sure to reinstall the head restraint
when the booster seat is removed.
See “Head restraints” (P.1-7) for head
restraint adjustment, removal and in-
stallation information.
For models with a head restraint speak-
er (if so equipped), the head restraint
cannot be removed. If the seating position does not have an
adjustable head restraint and it is
interfering with the proper booster seat
fit, try another seating position or a
different booster seat.
4. Position the lap portion of the seat belt low and snug on the child’s hips. Be
sure to follow the booster seat manu-
facturer’s instructions for adjusting the
seat belt routing.
5. Pull the shoulder belt portion of the seat belt toward the retractor to take up
extra slack. Be sure the shoulder belt is
positioned across the top, middle por-
tion of the child’s shoulder. Be sure to
follow the booster seat manufacturer’s
instructions for adjusting the seat belt
routing.
6. Follow the warnings, cautions and
instructions for properly fastening a
seat belt shown in “Seat belts”(P.1-
11).

7. If the booster seat is installed in the
front passenger seat, push the ignition
switch to the ON position. The front
passenger air bag status light
may
or may not illuminate depending on the
size of the child and the type of booster
seat used. See “Front passenger air
bag and status light” (P.1-42).

WARNING
.Always have the doors locked while
driving. Along with the use of seat belts,
this provides greater safety in the event
of an accident by helping to prevent
persons from being thrown from the
vehicle. This also helps keep children
and others from unintentionally opening
the doors, and will help keep out
intruders.
. Before opening any door, always look for
and avoid oncoming traffic.
. Do not leave children unattended inside
the vehicle. They could unknowingly
activate switches or controls. Unat-
tended children could become involved
in serious accidents.

over the retractable hard top (for exam-
ple, in a garage or a covered area). More
than approximately 6.6 ft (2 m) from the
ground and more than approximately 3.3
ft (1 m) from the rear is required to open
or close the retractable hard top safely.
Otherwise, the top may damage any
objects above it while moving. The
retractable hard top operating system
could also be damaged.
. Do not operate the retractable hard top
in a strong wind. It could be blown by
the wind, striking someone or damaging
the retractable hard top.
. When the retractable hard top is re-
tracted, do not allow anyone to stand up
or extend any portion of their body out
of the opening while the vehicle is in
motion or while the retractable hard top
is being operated.
. In an accident you could be thrown from
the vehicle with an open retractable hard
top if you do not use seat belts. Always
use seat belts and proper child re-
straints.
. Do not place any objects on or near the
retractable hard top operating switch.
Unintentional operation of the retract- able hard top may cause injuries or an
accident if the objects press the switch.
. Do not put your fingers or hands in the
gap between the rear seats and the rear
parcel shelf or the side flaps. Doing so
may cause injury if the retractable hard
top is operated.
CAUTION
.Do not operate the retractable hard top
when the temperature is below 328F
(08C). This may result in damage to the
retractable hard top material or operat-
ing system.
. Remove water drops, snow, ice or sand
from the retractable hard top, and dry
the surface of the retractable hard top
completely before opening it.
. Do not open the retractable hard top
when it is wet or damp. If the retractable
hardtop and rear window are wet, water
might get inside of the vehicle. To avoid
this, wipe off any water drops before
opening the retractable hard top.
. Do not place any objects between the
hard rail and the structure. Doing so could interfere with retractable hard top
operation and cause damage to the
retractable hard top operating system
or the objects.
. Do not place any objects on the upper
area of the windshield glass or the hard
rail when the retractable hard top is fully
opened. Doing so could interfere with
retractable hard top operation and cause
damage.
. Do not place any object between the
retractable hard top when the retract-
able hard top is stored in the storage
space. Doing so may interfere with
retractable hard top operation and cause
damage.
. Do not place anything on the retractable
hard top, rear parcel shelf, side flaps and
trunk lid. Even small items may interfere
with the retractable hard top operation
and could cause damage to the retract-
able hard top or the vehicle body.
. Do not place anything in the retractable
hard top storage area. The retractable
hard top will not fit there properly, and
this could damage the retractable hard
top and/or the vehicle body.

WARNING
.Do not adjust the steering wheel while
driving. You could lose control of your
vehicle and cause an accident.
. Do not adjust the steering wheel any
closer to you than is necessary for
proper steering operation and comfort.
The driver’s air bag inflates with great
force. If you are unrestrained, leaning
forward, sitting sideways or out of
position in any way, you are at greater
risk of injury or death in a crash. You
may also receive serious or fatal injuries
from the air bag if you are up against it
when it inflates. Always sit back against
the seatback and as far away as practical
from the steering wheel. Always use the
seat belts.

3-38Pre-driving checks and adjustments
GUID-AC446E91-1F9B-43A2-9329-094E9765C780The automatic drive positioner system has
two features:
.Seat synchronization function
. Memory storage
SPA2659
SEAT SYNCHRONIZATION FUNCTIONGUID-CC5EAD91-1CB1-41A4-AE89-0E4A71BE361FThe seat synchronization function automa-
tically adjusts the positions of the steering
wheel and outside mirrors when the seat is
adjusted using the power seat switches.
However, the steering wheel and outside
mirrors will not move if the seat is adjusted
over the maximum thresholds. The system
considers that the steering wheel and
outside mirror adjustments are not neces-
sary because the seat may not be adjusted
for the driving position. Note that the
function is set to disabled as the factory
default setting. The seat synchronization function operates
under the following conditions:
.
The ignition switch is in the ON posi-
tion.
. The selector lever is in the P (Park)
position (Automatic Transmission mod-
els) or the parking brake is applied
(Manual Transmission models).
. The seatback is raised.
If the outside mirrors or the steering wheel
reaches its maximum adjustment, the
function is automatically disabled. Restart
the function by selecting a previously
stored seat memory position using the
memory switches (1 or 2). An Intelligent
Key that was previously linked to the
stored seat memory can also be used to
restart the function.
If a seat position was not previously stored
in the seat memory, restart the function by
adjusting the steering wheel and outside
mirrors manually for your best driving
position and then drive the vehicle above
4 MPH (7 km/h).
