TABLE OF CONTENTS

• This vehicle is equipped with Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags to provideenhanced protection to help protect an occupant during a side impact.
• This vehicle is equipped with a Supplemental Driver Side Knee Air Bag to provide enhanced protection and work together with the Driver Advanced Front Air Bag during a
frontal impact.
• If the Air Bag Warning Light
is not on during starting, stays on, or turns on while
driving, have the vehicle serviced by an authorized service center immediately.
• Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details regarding the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS).
WARNING!
• Relying on the air bags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision. The air
bags work with your seat belt to restrain you properly. In some collisions, the air bags
won't deploy at all. Always wear your seat belts even though you have air bags.
• Being too close to the steering wheel or instrument panel during Advanced Front Air
Bag deployment could cause serious injury, including death. Air bags need room to
inflate. Sit back, comfortably extending your arms to reach the steering wheel or
instrument panel.
• Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains and Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side
Air Bags need room to inflate. Do not lean against the door or window. Sit upright in
the center of the seat.
• Being too close to the Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtain and/or Seat-
Mounted Side Air Bag during deployment could cause you to be severely injured or
killed.
• Do not drive your vehicle after the air bags have deployed. If you are involved in
another collision, the air bags will not be in place to protect you.
• After any collision, the vehicle should be taken to an authorized dealer immediately.
CHILD RESTRAINTS
• Children 12 years and under should ride properly buckled up in a rear seat, if available. According to crash statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rear
seats rather than in the front.
• Every state in the United States and all Canadian provinces require that small children ride in proper restraint systems. This is the law, and you can be prosecuted for ignoring it.
NOTE:
• For additional information, refer to www.seatcheck.org or call 1–866–SEAT-CHECK (1–866–732–8243).
• Canadian residents, should refer to Transport Canada’s website for additional informa- tion http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/roadsafety/safedrivers-childsafety-index-53.htm.

Installing The LATCH - Compatible Child Restraint System
•
Each vehicle, except commercial cargo vehicles, is equipped with the child restraint anchor-
age system called LATCH, which stands for Lower Anchors and Tether for CHildren.
• Two LATCH child restraint anchorage systems are installed on all second-row seats and in the center position on all third row fold-in-floor seats.
• Second-row seats also feature tether strap anchorages, located in the rear surface of the seatback.
• In addition, all third row fold-in-floor seats are equipped with a child restraint tether anchor at the center seating position.
Installing The Lower Attachments:
• The vehicle lower anchorages are round bars located at the rear of the seat cushion where it meets the seatback.
• Loosen the child seat adjusters on the lower child restraint attachment straps to
ease the installation.
NOTE:
It is recommended to loosen the top tether
strap and route it loosely prior to securing
the lower anchors so the top tether strap is
not trapped between the vehicle seat and
child restraint.
• Attach the lower child restraint attach- ment straps to the vehicle’s lower anchor
bars. Ensure that the lower attachment strap is firmly engaged and that the hook is
secure.
• Tighten the lower attachment strap while firmly pushing the child restraint rearward and downward into the vehicle seat. Remove all slack in the lower attachment straps.
Installing The Top Tether Strap (With Either Lower Anchors Or Vehicle Seat Belt):
• Route the top tether strap under the adjustable head restraint between the steel posts.
• Provide enough slack for the tether strap to reach the tether anchor located near
the bottom of the seat back.
• Clip tether hook to tether anchor. Ensure that the hook is firmly engaged and se-
cure.
• Remove all slack and tighten tether strap according to child restraint manufactur-
er’s instructions.
NOTE:
The top tether strap is always to be secured,
regardless of if the child restraint is installed with the lower anchors or the vehicle seat belt.

Installing The Child Restraint Using The Vehicle Seat Belts
• To install a child restraint, first, pull enough of the seat belt webbing from the retractor toroute it through the belt path of the child restraint and slide the latch plate into the
buckle.
• Next, extract all the seat belt webbing out of the retractor and then allow the belt to retract into the retractor. Finally, pull on any excess webbing to tighten the lap portion
around the child restraint. Any seat belt system will loosen with time, so check the belt
occasionally, and pull it tight if necessary.
• Once you have completed securing the child restraint with the seat belt, secure the top tether strap.
WARNING!
• In a collision, an unrestrained child, even a tiny baby, can become a projectile inside
the vehicle. The force required to hold even an infant on your lap could become so
great that you could not hold the child, no matter how strong you are. The child and
others could be severely injured or killed. Any child riding in your vehicle should be in
a proper restraint for the child's size.
• Failure to comply with the following conditions could result in you and others being
severely injured or killed:
• Be certain that the seat cushion is locked securely into position before usingthe seat. An improperly latched seat cushion could cause passengers to be
severely injured or killed.
• An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to increased head motion and
possible injury to the child. Use only the anchor positions directly behind the child
seat to secure a child restraint top tether strap.
• Rearward-facing child seats must never be used in the front seat of a vehicle with a
front passenger air bag. An air bag deployment could cause severe injury or death to
infants in this position.
