Integrated Child Booster Seat — If Equipped
The Integrated Child Booster Seat (if equipped) is located in
each second-row passenger seat. The booster seat is de-
signed for children weighing between 48 and 85 lbs (22 and
39 kg) and between 47 in (119 cm) and 57 in (145 cm) tall.
The booster seat is designed to raise the child high enough
to use the vehicle lap and shoulder belt. The booster seat
latch release handle is located at the front of the seat
cushion.
1. Pull the release handle forward to release the latch and
seat cushion. Then, lift seat cushion up and push back to
lock it in the booster seat position.
WARNING!
Failure to comply with the following conditions could
result in serious injury or death:
•The swivel seat should be locked in the forward
facing position when using the booster seat with the
vehicle in motion.
•Be certain that the seat cushion is locked securely into
position before using the seat. Otherwise, the seat will
not provide the proper stability for child seats and/or
passengers. An improperly latched seat cushion could
cause serious injury or death.2. Place the child upright in the seat with their back firmly
against the seatback.
3. Grasp the latch plate and pull out the seat belt.
4. Slide the latch plate up the webbing as far as necessary to
allow the seat belt to go around the child’s lap.
NOTE:The lap portion of the seat belt should be low on the
hips and as snug as possible.
5. Once the seat belt is long enough to fit properly, insert the
latch plate into the buckle until you hear a “click.”
6. To remove the slack from the lap belt, pull upward on the
shoulder portion of the seat belt.
7. To release the seat belt, push the red button on the buckle.
