•When possible, always properly restrainchildren 12 years of age and under in arear seating position of your vehicle.Accident statistics suggest that childrenare safer when properly restrained in therear seating positions than in a frontseating position. See Front PassengerSensing System (page 46).
INSTALLING CHILD RESTRAINTS
Child Seats
Use a child safety seat (sometimes called aninfant carrier, convertible seat, or toddlerseat) for infants, toddlers, or childrenweighing 40 pounds (18 kilograms) or less(generally age four or younger).
Using Lap and Shoulder Belts
WARNINGS
Airbags can kill or injure a child in achild seat. Never place a rear-facingchild seat in front of an active airbag. If youmust use a forward-facing child seat in thefront seat, move the seat upon which thechild seat is installed all the way back.
Airbags can kill or injure a child in achild seat. Children 12 and undershould be properly restrained in the rear seatwhenever possible.
Depending on where you secure achild restraint, and depending on thechild restraint design, you may block accessto certain safety belt buckle assemblies andLATCH lower anchors, rendering thosefeatures potentially unusable. To avoid riskof injury, occupants should only use seatingpositions where they are able to be properlyrestrained.

6.Allow the belt to retract to remove slack.The belt will click as it retracts to indicateit is in the automatic locking mode.
7.Try to pull the belt out of the retractor tomake sure the retractor is in theautomatic locking mode (you should notbe able to pull more belt out). If theretractor is not locked, unbuckle the beltand repeat Steps 5 and 6.
8. Remove remaining slack from the belt.Force the seat down with extra weight,for example, by pressing down orkneeling on the child restraint whilepulling up on the shoulder belt in orderto force slack from the belt.

the child is added to the child restraint.It also helps to achieve the propersnugness of the child seat to yourvehicle. Sometimes, a slight lean towardthe buckle will additionally help toremove remaining slack from the belt.
9. Attach the tether strap (if the child seatis equipped).
10. Before placing the child in the seat,forcibly move the seat forward and backto make sure the seat is securely heldin place. To check this, grab the seat atthe belt path and attempt to move itside to side and forward and back.There should be no more than 1 inch(2.5 centimeters) of movement forproper installation.
We recommend checking with a NHTSACertified Child Passenger Safety Technicianto make certain the child restraint is properlyinstalled. In Canada, check with TransportCanada for referral to a Child Car Seat Clinic.
Using Lower Anchors and Tethers forCHildren (LATCH)
WARNINGS
Never attach two child safety seats tothe same anchor. In a crash, oneanchor may not be strong enough to holdtwo child safety seat attachments and maybreak, causing serious injury or death.
WARNINGS
Depending on where you secure achild restraint, and depending on thechild restraint design, you may block accessto certain safety belt buckle assemblies orLATCH lower anchors, rendering thosefeatures potentially unusable. To avoid riskof injury, occupants should only use seatingpositions where they are able to be properlyrestrained.
The LATCH system is composed of threevehicle anchor points: two lower anchorslocated where the seatback and seat cushionmeet (called the seat bight) and one toptether anchor located behind that seatingposition.
LATCH compatible child safety seats havetwo rigid or webbing mounted attachmentsthat connect to the two lower anchors at theLATCH equipped seating positions in yourvehicle. This type of attachment methodeliminates the need to use safety belts to

attach the child seat, however the safety beltcan still be used to attach the child seat. Forforward-facing child seats, the top tetherstrap must also be attached to the propertop tether anchor, if a top tether strap hasbeen provided with your child seat.
Your vehicle has LATCH lower anchors forchild seat installation. The LATCH anchorsare located at the rear section of the rearseat between the cushion and seatback.Follow the child seat manufacturer'sinstructions to properly install a child seatwith LATCH attachments. Follow theinstructions on attaching child safety seatswith tether straps.
Attach LATCH lower attachments of the childseat only to the anchors.
Use of Inboard Lower Anchors from theOutboard Seating Positions (Center SeatingUse)
WARNING
The standardized spacing for LATCHlower anchors is 11 inches (28centimeters) center to center. Do not useLATCH lower anchors for the center seatingposition unless the child seat manufacturer'sinstructions permit and specify using anchorsspaced at least as far apart as those in thisvehicle.
The lower anchors at the center of thesecond row rear seat are spaced 18 inches(46 centimeters) apart. A child seat with rigidLATCH attachments cannot be installed atthe center seating position. LATCHcompatible child seats (with attachments on
belt webbing) can only be used at thisseating position provided that the child seatmanufacturer's instructions permit use withthe anchor spacing stated. Do not attach achild seat to any lower anchor if an adjacentchild seat is attached to that anchor.
Each time you use the safety seat, check thatthe seat is properly attached to the loweranchors and tether anchor, if applicable. Tugthe child seat from side to side and forwardand back where it is secured to your vehicle.The seat should move less than one inchwhen you do this for a proper installation.
If the safety seat is not anchored properly,the risk of a child being injured in a crashgreatly increases.
Combining Safety Belt and LATCH LowerAnchors for Attaching Child Safety Seats
When used in combination, either the safetybelt or the LATCH lower anchors may beattached first, provided a proper installationis achieved. Attach the tether strap afterward,if included with the child seat.
