straints could result in serious injury
in an accident or sudden stop.
.Do not fold down the rear seats
when occupants are in the rear seat
area or any cargo is on the rear
seats.
.Properly secure all cargo to help
prevent it from sliding or shifting.
Do not place cargo higher than the
seatbacks.
.When returning the seatbacks to the
upright position, be certain they are
completely secured in the latched
position. If they are not completely
secured, passengers may be injured
in an accident or sudden stop.

ARMREST (if so equipped)
Pull the armrest down as shown.
WARNING
Head restraint/headrest supplement
the other vehicle safety systems. They
may provide additional protection
against injury in certain rear end colli-
sions. Adjustable head restraints/head-
rests must be adjusted properly, as
specified in this section. Check the
adjustment after someone else uses
the seat. Do not attach anything to the
head restraint/headrest stalks or re-
move the head restraint/headrest. Do
not use the seat if the head restraint/
headrest has been removed. If the head
restraint/headrest was removed, rein-
stall and properly adjust the head
restraint/headrest before an occupant
uses the seating position. Failure to
follow these instructions can reduce the
effectiveness of the head restraint/
headrest. This may increase the risk of
serious injury or death in a collision.

The illustration shows the seating positions
equipped with head restraint/headrest.
Indicates the seating position is equipped
with a head restraint.
Indicates the seating position is equipped
with a headrest.
+ Indicates the seating position is not equipped
with a head restraint or headrest.
.Your vehicle is equipped with a head
restraint/headrest that may be integrated,
adjustable or non-adjustable.
.Adjustable head restraints/headrests have
multiple notches along the stalk to lock them
in a desired adjustment position..The non-adjustable head restraints/head-
rests have a single locking notch to secure
them to the seat frame.
.Proper Adjustment:
— For the adjustable type, align the head
restraint/headrest so the center of your
ear is approximately level with the center
of the head restraint/headrest.
— If your ear position is still higher than the
recommended alignment, place the head
restraint/headrest at the highest position.
.If the head restraint/headrest has been
removed, ensure that it is reinstalled and
locked in place before riding in that desig-
nated seating position.

LATCH webbing-mounted attachment
Installing child restraint LATCH lower
anchor attachments
LATCH compatible child restraints include two
rigid or webbing-mounted attachments that can
be connected to two anchors located at certain
seating positions in your vehicle. With this
system, you do not have to use a vehicle seat
belt to secure the child restraint. Check your
child restraint for a label stating that it is
compatible with LATCH. This information may
also be in the instructions provided by the child
restraint manufacturer.
SSS0644
LATCH rigid attachment
When installing a child restraint, carefully read
and follow the instructions in this manual and
those supplied with the child restraint.
Top tether anchor
WARNING
Properly secure cargo and do not allow
it to contact the top tether strap when it
is attached to the top tether anchor.
Cargo that is not properly secured or
cargo that contacts the top tether strap
may damage the top tether strap during
a collision. If the parcel shelf contactsthe top tether strap when it is attached
to the top tether anchor, remove the
parcel shelf from the vehicle or secure it
on the cargo floor below its attachment
location. If the parcel shelf is not
removed, it may damage the top tether
strap during a collision. Your child
could be seriously injured or killed in
a collision if the child restraint top
tether strap is damaged.

6. After attaching the child restraint, test it
before you place the child in it. Push it from
side to side while holding the child restraint
near the seat belt path. The child restraint
should not move more than 1 inch (25 mm) ,
from side to side. Try to tug it forward and
check to see if the belt holds the restraint in
place. If the restraint is not secure, tighten
the seat belt as necessary, or put the
restraint in another seat and test it again.
You may need to try a different child
restraint. Not all child restraints fit in all
types of vehicles.
7. Check to make sure that the child restraint is
properly secured prior to each use. If the

seat belt is not locked, repeat steps 1
through 6.
After the child restraint is removed and the seat
belt fully retracted, the ALR mode (child restraint
mode) is canceled.
FORWARD-FACING CHILD RE-
STRAINT INSTALLATION USING
LATCH
Refer to all Warnings and Cautions in the “Child
safety” and “Child restraints” sections before
installing a child restraint.
Do not use the lower anchors if the combined
weight of the child and the child restraint
exceeds 65 lbs (29.5 kg) . If the combined
weight of the child and the child restraint is
greater than 65 lbs (29.5 kg) , use the vehicle’s
seat belt (not the lower anchors) to install the
child restraint. Be sure to follow the child
restraint manufacturer’s instructions for installa-
tion.
Follow these steps to install a forward-facing
child restraint using the LATCH system:
1. Position the child restraint on the seat.
Always follow the child restraint manufac-
turer’s instructions.
SSS0645
Forward-facing web-mounted — step 2
2. Secure the child restraint anchor attach-
ments to the LATCH lower anchors. Check
to make sure the LATCH attachment is
properly attached to the lower anchors.
If the child restraint is equipped with a top
tether strap, route the top tether strap and
secure the tether strap to the tether anchor
point. See “Installing top tether strap” (P.1-
31) . Do not install child restraints that
require the use of a top tether strap in
seating positions that do not have a top
tether anchor.
SSS0646
Forward-facing rigid-mounted — step 2
3. The back of the child restraint should be
secured against the vehicle seatback.
If necessary, adjust or remove the head
restraint to obtain the correct child restraint
fit. If the head restraint is removed, store it in
a secure place.Be sure to reinstall the
head restraint when the child restraint
is removed.See “Head restraints/head-
rests” (P.1-6) for head restraint adjustment
information.
If the seating position does not have a head
restraint and it is interfering with the proper
child restraint fit, try another seating position
or a different child restraint.
