Safety of Infants and Small Children
An infant must be properly restrained in a  rear-facing, reclining child seat until the 
infant reaches the seat manufacturer’s weig ht or height limit for the seat, and the 
infant is at least one year old.
■Positioning a rear-facing child seat
Child seats must be placed and secured in a 
rear seating position.
When properly installed, a rear-facing chil d seat may prevent the driver or a front 
passenger from moving their seat all the wa y back, or from locking their seat-back 
in the desired position. Make sure that there is no contact between the child seat 
and the seat in front of it.
It can also interfere with proper operation of the passenger’s advanced front airbag 
system.
2 Airbags P. 52
If this occurs, we recommend that you insta ll the child seat directly behind the front 
passenger’s seat, move the seat as far fo rward as needed, and leave it unoccupied. 
Or, you may wish to get a smaller rear-facing child seat.
■Protecting Infants1 Protecting Infants
Many experts recommend us e of a rear-facing seat 
for a child up to two years old if the child’s height and 
weight are appropriate  for a rear-facing seat.
Rear-facing child seats should  never be installed in a 
forward facing position.
Always refer to the child seat manufacturer’s 
instructions before installation.
Do not allow a front seat to rest against a child seat 
installed in a rear seating position:
The weight sensor in the fr ont seat may not correctly 
detect the actual weight of the occupant.
3WARNING
Placing a rear-facing child seat in the front 
seat can result in serious injury  or death 
during a crash.
Always place a rear-fac ing child seat in the 
rear seat, not the front.

Safe DrivingIf a child is at least one year old and has exceeded the weight an d height limitations 
of a rearward facing child seat, the child should be properly restrained in a firmly 
secured forward facing child seat until they exceed the weight and height limitations 
for the forward facing child seat.
■Forward-facing child seat placement
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.
■Protecting Smaller Children1 Protecting Smaller Children
Educate yourself about th e laws and regulations 
regarding child seat use wh ere you are driving, and 
follow the child seat manufacturer’s instructions.
3WARNING
Placing a forward-facing child seat in the 
front seat can result in serious 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.

Safe DrivingA LATCH-compatible child seat can be installe d 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.
u When installing the child seat, make sure 
that the lower anchors are not 
obstructed by the seat belt or any other 
object.
■Installing a LATCH-Compatible Child Seat1Installing a LATCH-Compatible Child Seat
For your child’s safety, when using a child seat 
installed using the LATCH system, make sure that the 
child seat is properly secured to the vehicle.
A child seat that is not  properly secured will not 
adequately protect a child  in a crash and may cause 
injury to the child or  other vehicle occupants.
3WARNING
Never attach two child seats to the same 
anchor. In a collision, one anchor may not 
be strong enough to hold two child seat 
attachments and may break, causing 
serious injury or death.

3. Open the tether anchor cover behind the 
head restraint.
4. Route the tether strap over the top of the 
head restraint and secure the tether strap 
hook to the anchor.
Route the tether strap around the head 
restraint and secure the tether strap hook 
to the anchor.
5. Tighten the tether strap  as instructed by the 
child seat manufacturer.
6. Make sure the child seat is firmly secured by 
rocking it forward and back and side to 
side; little movement should be felt.

1 Installing a LATCH-Compatible Child Seat
Installing a LATCH-compatible child seat in the 
rear center seat
Each outer rear seat is equi pped with a pair of lower 
anchors which are used to secure a LATCH-
compatible child seat. The rear center seat, however, 
is not equipped with anchors of any kind.
The inner and outer anchors are spaced apart at a 
standard distance of 11 inches (280 mm). The 
distance between the two inner anchors is 15.7 
inches (400 mm).
LATCH-compatible restraint  systems that are fitted 
with rigid-type attachments cannot be installed in the 
rear center seat. However, a system fitted with 
flexible-type attachments can be installed in the 
center seat, provided that the manufacturer’s 
instructions for that system permit the use of the 
inner anchors with the stated spacing.
Before seating a child, make sure that the system is 
properly attached to both the lower anchors and 
tether anchors.
3WARNING
Do not use the lower inner anchors of the 
outer rear seats to secure a LATCH-
compatible child seat to the rear center 
seat, unless the manufacturer’s instructions 
for that system permit the use of inner 
anchors with the stated spacing.

Safety of Larger Children
The following pages give instructions on how  to check proper seat belt fit, what kind 
of booster seat to use if one is needed, and important precautions for a child who 
must sit in front.
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 answer the 
following questions.
■Checklist
• Do the child’s knees bend comfortably over 
the edge of the seat?
• Does the shoulder belt  cross between the 
child’s neck and arm?
• Is the lap part of the seat belt as low as 
possible, touching the child’s thighs?
• Will the child be able to stay seated like this 
for the whole trip?
If you answer yes to all thes e questions, the child is read y to wear the lap/shoulder 
seat belt correctly. If you answer no to  any question, the child needs to ride on a 
booster seat until the seat belt fits properly without a booster seat.

3WARNING
Allowing a child age 12 or under to sit in 
front can result in injury or death if the 
passenger’s front airbag inflates.
If a larger child must ri de in front, move the 
vehicle seat as far to the rear as possible, 
have the child sit up properly and wear the 
seat belt properly, using a booster seat if 
needed.
