SAFETYSAFETY
Protecting Smaller Children
If a child is at least one year old and within the weight range indicated by the child 
seat manufacturer, the child should be properly restrained in a firmly secured 
forward-facing child seat.
We strongly recommend placing a forward-facing 
child seat in a rear seating position.
Placing a forward-facing child seat in the front seat
can be hazardous,  even with advanced  front airbags 
that automatically turn the passenger’s front airbag 
off. A rear seat is the safest place for a child.
Selecting a Child Seat
Most child seats are LATCH-compatible (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren). 
Some have a rigid-type connector, while others have a flexible-type connector. 
Both are equally easy to use. Some existing and previously owned child seats can 
only be installed using the seat belt. Whichever type you choose, follow the child 
seat manufacturer’s use and care instructions as well as the instructions in this
manual. Proper installation is key to maximizing your child’s safety.
In seating positions and vehicles not equipped with LATCH, a LATCH-compatible 
child seat can be installed using the seat belt and a top tether for added security. 
This is because all child seats are required to be designed so that they can be 
secured with a lap belt or the lap part of a lap/shoulder belt. In addition,  the 
child seat manufacturer may advise that a seat belt be used to attach a LATCH-
compatible seat once a child reaches a specified weight. Please read the child 
seat owner’s manual for proper installation instructions.
Important considerations when selecting a child seat
Make sure the child seat meets the following three requirements:
• The child seat is the correct type and size for the child.
• The child seat is the correct type for the seating position.
• The child seat is compliant with Federal Motor vehicle Safety Standard 213 or
Canadian Motor vehicle Safety Standard 213.
Installing a LATCH-Compatible Child Seat
A LATCH-compatible child seat can be installed in either of the two outer rear 
seats. A child seat is attached to the lower anchors with either the rigid or  flexible 
type of connectors.
1. Locate the lower anchors under the marks.
2. Place the child seat on the vehicle seat, then
attach the child seat to the lower anchors
according to the instructions that came with the
child seat. Make sure that the lower anchors
are not obstructed by the seat belt or any other 
object.
3. Open the tether anchor cover behind the head 
restraint.
4. raise the head restraint to its highest position,
then route the tether strap between the head 
restraint legs, and secure the tether strap hook
onto the anchor.
5. Tighten the tether strap according to the seat
maker’s instructions.
6. Make sure the child seat is firmly secured by 
rocking it forward and back and side to side; little 
movement should be felt.
7. Make sure any unused seat belt that a child 
can reach is buckled, the lockable retractor 
is activated, and the belt is fully retracted and 
locked.
Placing a forward-facing child seat in the front seat can result in seri\
ous
injury or death if the front airbag inflates.
If you must place a forward-facing child seat in front, move the vehicle seat 
as far back as possible, and properly restrain the child.
