Infants 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. Con-
vertible 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.WARNING!
• Never place a rear facing infant seat in
front of

an air bag. A deploying Passen-
ger Advanced Front Air Bag can cause death or
serious injury to a child 12 years or younger,
including a child in a rearward facing infant seat .
• Only use a rearward-facing child restraint in a
vehicle with a rear seat .
Older Children And Child Restraints
Children who are two years old or who have outgrown
their rear-facing convertible child seat 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.
WARNING!
• Improper installation can lead to fail-
ur eo

faninfantorchildrestraint.It
could come loose in a collision.The child could be
badly injured or killed. Follow the child restraint
manufacturer ’s directions exactly when install-
ing an infant or child restraint .
• When your child restraint is not in use, secure
it in the vehicle with the seat belt or ISOFIX
anchorages, or remove it from the vehicle. Do not
leave it loose in the vehicle. In a sudden stop or
accident , it could strike the occupants or seat-
backs and cause serious personal injury.

3. Lift the seat cushion up and push back to lock it inthe booster seat position. (fig. 141)
4. Place the child upright in the seat with their back firmly against the seatback.
5. Grasp the latch plate and pull out the seat belt.

lap. NOTE:
The lap portion of the seat belt should be low
on the hips and as snug as possible.
7. Once the seat belt is long enough to fit properly, insert the latch plate into the buckle until you hear
a “click.” (fig. 142)
8. To remove the slack from the lap belt, pull upward on the shoulder portion of the seat belt.

WARNING!
Securely lock the seat cushion into posi-
tion bef

ore 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.
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 a rear
seat. Use this simple 5-step test to decide whether the
child can use the vehicle’s seat belt alone:
1. Can the child sit all the way back against the back of the vehicle seat? 2. Do the child’s knees bend comfortably over the
front of the vehicle seat – while they are still sitting
all the way back?
3. Does the shoulder belt cross the child’s shoulder between their neck and arm?
4. Is the lap part of the belt as low as possible, touching the child’s thighs and not their stomach?
5. 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.

ISOFIX Restraint System
Your vehicle is equipped with the child restraint an-
chorage system called ISOFIX. The ISOFIX system has
three vehicle anchor points for installing ISOFIX-
equipped child seats. There are two lower anchorages
located at the back of the seat cushion where it meets
the seatback and one top tether anchorage locatedbehind the seating position. These anchorages are used
to install ISOFIX-equipped child seats without using
the vehicle’s seat belts. Some seating positions may
have a top tether anchorage but no lower anchorages.
In these seating positions, the seat belt must be used
with the top tether anchorage to install the child
restraint.
