Seat belts work for
everyone, including preg-
nant women. Like al
l occupants, pregnant
women are more likely to be seriously injured
WA R N I N G When a child booster se
at is used on the
front passenger seat, the front passenger seat belt warning ligh
t will not come on, if
the seat belt is not fastened when thebooster seat is used
. Confirm that the
child is wearing the
seat belt properly.
Do not install any acce
ssory or sticker that
makes the light difficult to see.
Adjustable seat belt shoulder anchor (front seats)
WA R N I N G Always adjust the shou
lder belt anchor so
that the shoulder belt
is positioned across
the center of your shoulder without touch- ing your neck. The sh
oulder belt should
not be able to fall off your shoulder. Fail-ure to follow this instruction can adversely affect seat belt performance and increase the risk of serious in
jury or death in the
event of an accident. Adjust the shoulder be
lt anchor only when
the vehicle is not in motion. Make sure the anchor is securely locked in position after adjusting it.
Seat belt extender
WA R N I N G The extender should only be used if the existing belt is not long enough. Anyonewho can use the standard seat belt should not use an extender. Unnecessary use of an extender can adversel
y affect seat belt
performance in an accident. When not required, the extender must be removed and stowed.

N00418800157
The outboard seating posi
tions in the rear seat
of your vehicle are equipped with lower anchors for attaching child restraint systems compatible with the LATCH system.
N00418900190
Your vehicle has 3 attachment points on the back of the rear seatbacks. These are forsecuring a child restraint system tether strap
WA R N I N G It is important to use an approved rear- facing infant restraint until the infant isone 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. When installing a child restraint system, follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer and follow the directions in this manual. Failure to do so can result inserious injury or deat
h to your child in an
accident or
sudden stop.
After installation, push
and pull the child
restraint system back and forth, and side to side, to see that it is firmly secured. Ifthe child restraint system is not installed securely, it may cause injury to the child or other occupants in
the event of an acci-
dent or sudden stop. When not in use, keep your child restraint system secured with the seat belt, or remove it from the vehi
cle, in order to pre-
vent it from being
thrown around inside
the vehicle during an accident.
NOTE
 Before purchasing a child restraint system, try installing it in the rear seat to ensureproper fit. Due to the location of the seat beltbuckles and the shape of the seat cushion, it may be difficult to
securely install some
manufacturer’s child restraint systems.If the child restraint system can be pulled forward or to either side easily on the seat cushion after the seat be
lt has been tightened,
choose another ma
nufacturer’s child restraint
system. Depending on the seating position in thevehicle and the child restraint system that you have, the child restraint system can be attached using one of the following 2 meth-ods: • Attach to the lower anchorage in the rear seat ONLY if the child restraint system is compatible with the LATCH system (See page 4-16). • Attach to the seat
belt (See page 4-18).

3. Push the anchor connectors (D) on the child restraint system into the loweranchors (C) in accordance with the instructions provided by the child restraint system manufacturer.Remember, the lower anchors provided with your vehicle are
designed to secure
suitable child restraint systems compat-ible with the LATCH
system in the out-
board positions of the rear seats only. The anchor connectors are NOT designed to secure a suitable child restraint system in the center positionof the rear seat.

With the exception of the driver, the seat belt in all other seating po
sitions can be converted
from normal Emergency Locking Retractor(ELR) mode, to Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) mode. This mean
s that when you pull
the seat belt fully out of the retractor, the retractor will switch to its ALR child restraint installation function.
Always use the ALR
child restraint instal
lation function when you
install a child restraint system using the seat belt. Children 12 years old and under should always be restrained in the rear seat, when- ever possible, although the front passenger seat belt can also be
converted to ALR mode.
NOTE
In order to secure a child restraint system compatible with the LATCH system, youmust use the lower anchor points in the out-board positions of the rear seat. To secure a child restraint system in the center position of the rear seat, you mu
st use the vehicle’s
center seat belt.WA R N I N G If there is any foreign material in or around the lower anchors, remove it before installing the child restraint sys-tem. Also, make sure the seat belt is away from, not looped through or otherwise interfering with, the child restraint sys-tem. If foreign matter is not removed and/or the seat belt
interferes with the
child restraint system, the child restraintsystem will not be secured properly, could detach and move forward in the event of sudden braking or an
accident, and could
result in injury to the child or other vehi- cle occupants. When the vehicle is
moving, do not adjust
the seat where the child restraint system is installed.
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. Under no circumstances are they to be used for adult seat belts, harnesses, or for attach-ing other items or eq
uipment to the vehi-
cle.

1. Place the child restraint system on the seat where you wish to install it. To help assure proper fitting of the child restraint system, alwa
ys remove the head
restraint. 2. Route the seat belt through the child restraint system acco
rding to the instruc-
tions provided by the child restraint sys- tem’s manufacturer. Then insert the seat belt latch plate into
the buckle. Make sure
you hear a “click” when you insert the latch plate into the buckle.
3. To activate the ALR child restraint instal- lation function, slowly pull the shoulderpart of the belt all the way out of the retractor until it stops. Then let the belt feed back into the retractor. 4. After the belt has retracted, tug on it.
If the belt is in the ALR function, you will not be able to pull it out. If the webbingcan be pulled out from retractor, the ALR function has not been activated and you will need to repeat steps 3 and 4.5. After confirming that the belt is locked, grab the shoulder part of the belt near the buckle and pull up to remove any slackfrom 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).
WA R N I N G When you install a child restraint system using the seat belt, al
ways make sure the
retractor has been switched to the ALRchild restraint installation function. The ALR function will keep the child restraint system tightly secured to the seat.Failure to convert the retractor to the ALR function may allow the child restraint system to move forward duringsudden braking
or an accide
nt, resulting
in serious injury or
death to the child or
other occupants.
Installation
If your child restraint system requires the use of a tether strap, fasten the tether strap inaccordance with the following procedures.

Children who have outgrown a child restraint system should be seated in the rear seat and wear the seat belt. If the shoulder belt crossestheir face or neck, and/
or the lap belt crosses
their stomach, a commercially available booster seat must be used to raise the child sothat the shoulder belt
crosses their shoulder
and the lap belt remains positioned low across their hips. The booster seat should fitthe vehicle seat and ha
ve a label certifying
compliance with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards or Mo
tor Vehicle Restraint
Systems and Booster Se
ats Safety Regula-
tions.
N00407000364
The seat belt webbing may be cleaned withmild soap or detergent solution. Do not use anorganic solvent. Allow the belts to dry in the shade. Do not allow them to retract until com- pletely dry. Do not attempt to bleach or re-dye the belts. The color may rub off and the webbing strength may be affected.
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. Under no circumstances are they to be used foradult seat belts, harnesses, or for attach- ing other items or e
quipment to the vehi-
cle.
Children who have outgrown child restraint systems
WA R N I N G Any child who is too small to properly wear a seat belt
must be properly
restrained in an appropriate child restraint system, to reduce their risk ofserious injury or de
ath in an
accident.
A child should never be
left unattended in,
or unsupervised around, your vehicle. When you leave the ve
hicle, always take
the child out as well. Children can die from heat stroke if left or trapped inside the vehicle, especially onhot days. Keep your vehicle locked when not in use. Keep your vehicle keys away from chil- dren.
