ALR mode will result in the child restraint
not being properly secured. The restraint
could tip over or be loose and cause injury
to a child in a sudden stop or collision. Also,
it can change the operation of the front
passenger air bag. See “Front passenger air
bag and status light ”later in this section.

positions only) or the seat belt, as applic-
able.
1. Flip up the anchor cover from the
anchor point which is located directly
behind the child seat.
2. If necessary, raise or remove the head- rest to position the top tether strap
over the top of the seatback. If the
headrest is removed, store it in a

BOOSTER SEATS
Precautions on booster seats
WARNING
If a booster seat and seat belt are not used
properly, the risk of a child being injured in
a sudden stop or collision greatly increases:
. Make sure the shoulder portion of the
belt is away from the child ’s face and
neck and the lap portion of the belt does
not cross the stomach.
. Make sure the shoulder belt is not
behind the child or under the child ’s
arm.
. A booster seat must only be installed in
a seating position that has a lap/
shoulder belt.
