SAFETY
Adding Security with a Tether
Two tether anchorage points are provided behind the rear outer seating positions 
and one in the ceiling for the rear center. A child seat that is installed with a seat
belt and comes with a tether can use the tether for additional security. 
1. Using an outer anchor:  If necessary, remove the 
cargo area cover.* Raise the head restraint to its highest position, then route the tether strap through the head restraint legs. Using the center anchor: Lower the head
restraint to its lowest position. Open the anchor
cover. Route the tether strap over the head restraint.
2. Secure the tether strap hook onto the anchor. Make sure the strap is not twisted.
3. Tighten the tether strap according to the seat manufacturer’s instructions. If necessary, 
reinstall the cargo area cover.* 
Protecting Larger Children
When a child is too big for a child seat, secure the child in a rear seat using the  lap/shoulder seat belt. Have the child sit upright and all the way back, then ensure the following:
•  The child’s knees bend comfortably over the edge  of the seat.
•  The shoulder belt crosses between the child’s 
neck and arm.
•  The lap part of the seat belt is as low as possible, 
touching the child’s thighs.
•  The child can stay seated for the whole trip.
If a lap/shoulder belt cannot be used properly, position the child in a booster seat 
in a rear seating position. For the child’s safety, check that the child meets the
booster seat manufacturer’s recommendations. Some U.S. states and Canadian provinces/territories require children to use a 
booster seat until they reach a given age or weight (e.g., 6 years or 60 lbs). Be sure to check current laws in the state or province/territory where you intend to drive.
Allowing a child age 12 or under to sit in the front can result in injury or death
if the passenger’s front airbag inlates.
If a larger child must ride in front, move the vehicle seat as far to the rear as  possible, then have the child sit up properly and wear the seat belt properly, using a booster seat if needed.
