CHILD RESTRAINTS
•Children 12 years or younger 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 information:
http://www .tc.gc .ca/eng/roadsafety/safedrivers-childsafety-index-53.htm
Installing The LATCH Compatible Child Restraint System
•Your vehicle's second row passenger seats are equipped with the child restraint anchor-
age system called LATCH, which stands for Lower Anchors and Tether for CHildren.
LATCH child restraint anchorage systems are installed in both rear seating positions.
• NEVER install compatible child seats so that two seats share a common lower anchorage .
• Loosen the child seat adjusters on the
lower straps and tether straps so that you
can attach the hook or connector to the
anchors.
•
Attach the lower hooks or connectors over the top of the anchorage bars, pushing
aside the seat cover material .The rear seat
lower anchorages are round bars, located at
the rear of the seat cushion where it meets
the seatback. The rear seat lower anchors
can be readily identified by the symbol
located on the seatback directly above
the anchorages and are just visible when you lean into the rear seat to install the child
restraint.

•The tether strap should be routed under the center of the head restraint and attached
to the tether anchor on the rear of the seatback .
• Tighten all three straps as you push the
child restraint rearward and downward
into the seat.
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 to
route it through the belt path of the child restraint, and then 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 .The tether strap should be routed under the center of the head restraint.
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 .
• 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.
• This vehicle does not have a center seating position. Do not use the center lower
LATCH anchorages to install a child seat in the center of the back seat.

Seat Height
•
The driver’s seat height can be raised or lowered by using a lever, located on the outboardside of the seat. Pump the lever upward to raise the seat height, or pump the lever down-
ward to lower the seat height .
EZ Entry Seats
•Pull forward on the lever, located on the
side of the seatback, to dump the seatback
forward and slide the seat forward .This
allows for easier access to the rear seat .
•The driver seat has a memory feature .
After using the EZ Entry function, the
seat back and adjuster will re-lock into the
original position at which the seat was
previously adjusted to .
WARNING!
•Adjusting a seat while the vehicle is moving is dangerous .The sudden movement of the
seat could cause you to lose control .The seat belt might not be properly adjusted, and
you could be severely injured or killed .Only adjust a seat while the vehicle is parked .
•Actuating the recliner handle will allow the seatback to swing (dump) forward on
manual recliner seats.Do not stand or lean in front of the seat while actuating the
handle .The seatback may swing forward and hit you, causing injury .This dump feature
allows access to the storage bin behind the seat .To avoid injury, place your hand on the
seatback and actuate the handle, then position the seatback in the desired position .
•Do not ride with the seatback reclined so that the seat belt is no longer resting
against your chest. In a collision, you could slide under the seat belt and be severely
injured or killed. Use the recliner only when the vehicle is parked.

• Persons who are unable to feel pain to the skin because of advanced age, chronic
illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury, medication, alcohol use, exhaustion or other physi-
cal conditions must exercise care when using the seat heater .It may cause burns
even at low temperatures, especially if used for long periods of time .
• Do not place anything on the seat that insulates against heat, such as a blanket or
cushion. This may cause the seat heater to overheat. Sitting in a seat that has been
overheated could cause serious burns due to the increased surface temperature of
the seat.
