HEAD RESTRAINTS
WARNING
Head restraints supplement the other ve-
hicle safety systems. They may provide
additional protection against injury in cer-
tain rear end collisions. Adjust the head
restraints properly, as specified in this
section (only if your vehicle is equipped
with adjustable head restraints) . Check
the adjustment after someone else uses
the seat. Do not attach anything to the
head restraint stalks or remove the head
restraint. Do not use the seat if the head
restraint has been removed. If the head
restraint was removed, reinstall and prop-
erly adjust the head restraint before an
occupant uses the seating position. Fail-
ure to follow these instructions can re-
duce the effectiveness of the head re-
straints. This may increase the risk of
serious injury or death in a collision.

REMOVABLE HEAD RESTRAINT
WARNING
The removable head restraints supple-
ment the other vehicle safety systems.
They may provide additional protection
against injury in certain rear end colli-
sions. Do not attach anything to the re-
movable head restraint stalks or remove
the head restraint unless it is required
when the rear seat is folded down. Do not
use the seat if the head restraints have
been removed. If the head restraint was
removed, reinstall it before an occupant
uses the seating position. Failure to fol-
low these instructions can reduce the ef-
fectiveness of the removable head re-
straint. This may increase the risk of
serious injury or death in a collision. The illustration shows the seating positions
equipped with removable head restraints.

6. After attaching the child restraint, test it be-fore you place the child in it. Push it from side
to side while holding the child restraint near
the seat belt path. The child restraint should
not move more than 1 inch (25 mm) , from
side to side. Try to tug it forward and check
to see if the belt holds the restraint in place.
If the restraint is not secure, tighten the seat
belt as necessary, or put the restraint in
another seat and test it again. You may need
to try a different child restraint. Not all child
restraints fit in all types of vehicles. 7. Check to make sure that the child restraint is
properly secured prior to each use. If the
seat belt is not locked, repeat steps 1
through 6.
After the child restraint is removed and the seat
belt fully retracted, the ALR mode (child restraint
mode) is canceled.
FORWARD-FACING CHILD
RESTRAINT INSTALLATION USING
LATCH
Refer to all Warnings and Cautions in the “Child
safety” and “Child restraints” sections before in-
stalling a child restraint.
Follow these steps to install a forward-facing
child restraint using the LATCH system: 1. Position the child restraint on the seat. Al- ways follow the child restraint manufactur-
er’s instructions. 2. Secure the child restraint anchor attach-
ments to the LATCH lower anchors. Check
to make sure the LATCH attachment is prop-
erly attached to the lower anchors.
If the child restraint is equipped with a top
tether strap, route the top tether strap and
secure the tether strap to the tether anchor
point. See “Installing top tether strap” in this
section. Do not install child restraints that
require the use of a top tether strap in seat-
ing positions that do not have a top tether
anchor.

3. The back of the child restraint should besecured against the vehicle seatback.
If necessary, adjust or remove the head re-
straint to obtain the correct child restraint fit. If
the head restraint is removed, store it in a
secure place. Be sure to reinstall the head
restraint when the child restraint is re-
moved.
See “Head restraints” in this section
for head restraint adjustment information.
If the seating position does not have an
adjustable head restraint and it is interfering
with the proper child restraint fit, try another
seating position or a different child restraint. 4. For child restraints that are equipped with
webbing-mounted attachments, remove any
additional slack from the anchor attach-
ments. Press downward and rearward firmly
in the center of the child restraint with your
knee to compress the vehicle seat cushion
and seatback while tightening the webbing
of the anchor attachments.
5. Tighten the tether strap according to the manufacturer’s instructions to remove any
slack. 6. After attaching the child restraint, test it be-
fore you place the child in it. Push it from side
to side while holding the child restraint near
the LATCH attachment path. The child re-
straint should not move more than 1 inch
(25 mm) , from side to side. Try to tug it
forward and check to see if the LATCH at-
tachment holds the restraint in place. If the
restraint is not secure, tighten the LATCH
attachment as necessary, or put the restraint
in another seat and test it again. You may
need to try a different child restraint. Not all
child restraints fit in all types of vehicles.
