WARNING!
• Relying on the air bags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision. Theair 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.
• 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
Everyone in your vehicle needs to be buckled up all the time, including babies and
children. Every state in the United States and all Canadian provinces require small
children ride in proper restraint systems. This is the law, and you can be prosecuted for
ignoring it.
There are different sizes and types of restraints for children from newborn size to the child
almost large enough for an adult safety belt. Always check the child seat Owner’s Manual
to ensure you have the correct seat for your child. Use the restraint that is correct for your
child.
Infant and Child Restraints
• Safety experts recommend that children ride rearward-facing in the vehicle until they are two years old or until they reach either the height or weight limit of their rear facing
child safety seat. Two types of child restraints can be used rearward-facing: infant
carriers and convertible child seats.
• The infant carrier is only used rearward-facing in the vehicle. It is recommended for children from birth until they reach the weight or height limit of the infant carrier.
Convertible child seats can be used either rearward-facing or forward-facing in the
vehicle. Convertible child seats often have a higher weight limit in the rearward-facing
direction than infant carriers do, so they can be used rearward-facing by children who
have outgrown their infant carrier but are still less than at least two years old. Children
should remain rearward-facing until they reach the highest weight or height allowed by
their convertible child seat.

Older Children and Child Restraints
• Children who are two years old or who have outgrown their rear-facing convertible childseat can ride forward-facing in the vehicle. Forward-facing child seats and convertible
child seats used in the forward-facing direction are for children who are over two years
old or who have outgrown the rear-facing weight or height limit of their rear-facing
convertible child seat. Children should remain in a forward-facing child seat with a
harness for as long as possible, up to the highest weight or height allowed by the child
seat.
• All children whose weight or height is above the forward-facing limit for the child seat should use a belt-positioning booster seat until the vehicle’s seat belts fit properly. If the
child cannot sit with knees bent over the vehicle’s seat cushion while the child’s back
is against the seatback, they should use a belt-positioning booster seat. The child and
belt-positioning booster seat are held in the vehicle by the seat belt.
Children Too Large for Booster Seats
Children who are large enough to wear the shoulder belt comfortably, and whose legs are
long enough to bend over the front of the seat when their back is against the seatback,
should use the seat belt in the seat. Use this simple 5-step test to decide whether the
child can use the vehicle’s seat belt alone:
• Can the child sit all the way back against the back of the vehicle seat?
• Do the child’s knees bend comfortably over the front of the vehicle seat – while they are still sitting all the way back?
• Does the shoulder belt cross the child’s shoulder between their neck and arm?
• Is the lap part of the belt as low as possible, touching the child’s thighs and not their stomach?
• Can the child stay seated like this for the whole trip?
If the answer to any of these questions was “no,” then the child still needs to use a booster
seat in this vehicle. If the child is using the lap/shoulder belt, check belt fit periodically.
A child’s squirming or slouching can move the belt out of position. If the shoulder belt
contacts the face or neck, move the child closer to the center of the vehicle. Never allow
a child to put the shoulder belt under an arm or behind their back.
NOTE:

Canadian residents, should refer to Transport Canada’s website for additional information.

WARNING!
• In a collision, an unrestrained child, even a tiny baby, can become a projectileinside 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.
• Improper installation of a child restraint to the LATCH anchorages can lead to
failure of an infant or child restraint. The child could be severely injured or killed.
Follow the manufacturer’s directions exactly when installing an infant or child
restraint.
• 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.
INSTALLING CHILD RESTRAINT TETHER ANCHOR
Child restraints having tether straps and hooks for connection to tether anchors have been
available for some time. In fact, many child restraint manufacturers will provide add-on
tether-strap kits for some of their older products. There is a tether strap anchor located
behind the child tether access cover behind the passenger seat.
To attach a child restraint tether strap:
1. Move the seat-bottom forward.
2. Move the seatback to its full forward position.
3. Remove the child tether access cover by prying either side with a screwdriver or similar
tool, as shown.

NOTE:
While the child tether is in use, keep the
access cover in a safe place so that it can be
replaced after use of the child tether.
4.
Pass the child restraint tether hook
through either opening in the seatback
underneath the head restraint.
5.Attach the tether hook to the anchor loop.
6.Move the seat to its farthest rearward
position. Apply body pressure to the seat
to be sure the seat adjusters have latched.
7. Return the seatback to an upright position.
8. Install the child restraint according to the manufacturer's directions.
9. Remove slack from the tether strap according to the child restraint manufacturer's directions.
WARNING!
An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to increased head motion and possible
injury to the child. Use only the anchor position directly behind the child seat to secure
a child restraint top tether strap.
FRONT SEATS
Power Seats
•The power seat switches are located on the
outboard side of the front seat cushions.
• The power seat switch controls forward, rearward, up and down adjustments.
Push the switch forward, rearward, up or
down and the seat will move in the direc-
tion of the switch. Release the switch
when the desired position has been
reached.
• The recline switch controls the angle of the seatback. Press the switch forward or
rearward and the seatback will move in
either direction.
