8. Put the head restraint on the hook (D) with their front fa
ces facing upward until
it locks into place.
1. Remove the head restraint from the hook. 2. Raise the seatback until it locks securely into place. 3. On vehicles with the third row seats,make sure that the lever is in the walk-in mode position. Otherwise, move the lever to the walk-inmode position.
4. While lifting the seat
belt buckle (A), gen-
tly lower the seat cushion. Make sure thatthere is a hook (B) at the position shown in the illustration.
CAUTION Do not allow any person to sit on the flipped seat cushion, and do
not place luggage on it.
The seat’s mounting
fittings could bend
under the weight, making it impossible for the seat cushion to be secured when it returns to the original position.NOTE

mode to the walk-in
mode.

WA R N I N G Never hold an infant
or child in your arms
or on your lap when ri
ding in this vehicle,
even when you are wearing your seat belt.Never place any part of the seat belt you are wearing around an
infant or child.
Failure to follow these simple instructionscreates a risk of serious injury or death to your child in the even
t of an accident or
sudden stop.
WA R N I N G Your vehicle is also
equipped with a front
passenger airbag.Never put REAR-FACING CHILDRESTRAINT SYSTEMS or INFANT RESTRAINT SYSTEMS in the front pas- senger seat. This places the infant tooclose to the passenger airbag. During deployment of that airbag, the infant can be seriously injured
or killed.
Rear-facing
child restraint systems or infant restraint systems must only be used in the rear seat.Airbag
WA R N I N G FRONT-FACING CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEMS should be used in the rear seatwhenever possible. If one must be used inthe front passenger seat, move the seat to the most rearward position and make sure the child stays in the child restraint sys-tem, properly restrained. Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury or death to the child.WA R N I N G It is important to use an approved rear- facing infant restraint until the infant is one year old (unless
the infant outgrows
the seat sooner). This
allows the infant’s
neck and spine to de
velop enough to sup-
port the weight of their head in the eventof an accident.

5. After confirming that the belt is locked, grab the shoulder part of the belt near thebuckle and pull up to remove any slack from the lap part of the belt allowing the slack to feed into the retractor. Remember,if the lap belt portion is not tight, the child restraint system will
not be secure. It may
help to put your weight on the childrestraint system and/or push on its seat- back while pulling up on the belt (See illustration). 6. Remove the head restraint from the loca- tion in which you wish to install a childrestraint system.
7. Latch the tether strap hook (A) of the child restraint system to the tether anchorbar (B) and tighten the tether strap so it is securely fastened.
8. Before putting your child in the restraint, push and pull the restraint in all directionsto be sure it is firmly secure. Do this before each use. If
the child restraint sys-
tem is not firmly se
cure, repeat steps 1
through 7. 9. To remove a child restraint system from the vehicle and deactivate the ALR mode,remove the child from the restraint. Unlatch the buckle. Then remove the belt from the restraint and let the belt fully retract.
N00407601602
Children who have outgrown a child restraint system should be
seated in the rear seat and
wear the seat belt. If the shoulder belt crosses their face or neck, and/or the lap belt crosses their stomach, a commercially availablebooster seat (includi
ng a booster cushion)
must be used to raise the child so that the shoulder belt crosses their shoulder and thelap belt remains positioned low across their hips. The booster seat (including a booster cushion) should fit the vehicle seat and have alabel certifying compliance with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards or Motor Vehicle Restraint Systems and Booster Cush-ions Safety Regulations.
If your child restraint system requires the use of a tether strap, fasten the tether strap in accordance with the following procedures.
NOTE
 If it is difficult to
latch the tether strap hook,
turn the hook sideways.WA R N I N G Child restraint system tether anchors are designed only to with
stand loads from cor-
rectly fitted child restraint systems. Underno circumstances are they to be used for adult seat belts, harnesses, for attaching other items, or equipment to the vehicle.
