1. Occupants should always sit back in their seats with their backs against the upright seatback. To reduce the risk of serious injury or death during deployment of theairbag, adjust the driver’s seat as far back as possible while maintaining a position that still enables you to fully apply thepedals, easily control the steering wheel, and safely operate the vehicle. The front passenger seat should also be moved asfar back as possible. Refer to “Supple-mental Restraint System (SRS) - airbag” on page 4-30. Also refer to “To adjust the seat forward or backward” on page 4-4.
2. Before using the rear center seat belt, make sure that the detachable anchor is securely latched and the seat belt is nottwisted. For details, refer to page 4-17.
3. Grasp the latch plate and slide it up the webbing so that it easily pulls across your body. 4. Pull the seat belt out slowly while holding the latch plate. Push the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a “click”. Pull up on the belt to be sure the latch plate islocked securely in the buckle.
WA R N I N G To reduce the risk of serious injury or death in the event of an accident or sud- den stop, all seatbacks should be kept in the upright position while the vehicle is in motion. Seat belt performance during an accident can be adversely affected if the seatbacksare reclined. The more a seatback is reclined, the more likely seat belt perfor- mance will be adversely affected. If theseat belt is not properly positioned against the body during an accident, there is increased risk you will slide under the beltand receive serious injury or death.

WA R N I N G Always adjust the shoulder belt anchor so that the shoulder belt is positioned across the center of your shoulder without touch- ing your neck. The shoulder belt should not be able to fall off your shoulder. Fail-ure to follow this instruction can adversely affect seat belt performance and increase the risk of serious injury or death in theevent of an accident. Adjust the shoulder belt anchor only when the vehicle is not in motion. Make sure the anchor is securely locked in position after adjusting it.

WA R N I N G Your vehicle is also equipped with a front passenger’s airbag. Never put REAR-FACING CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEMS or INFANT RESTRAINT SYSTEMS in the front pas-senger seat. This places the infant too close to the passenger’s airbag. During deployment of that airbag, the infant canbe seriously injured or killed. Rear-facing child restraint systems or infant restraint systems must only be used in the rear seat.
Airbag
WA R N I N G FRONT-FACING CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEMS should be used in the rear seat whenever possible. If one must be used in the front passenger seat, move the seat to the most rearward position and make surethe child stays in the child restraint sys- tem, properly restrained. Failure to follow these instructions could result in seriousinjury or death to the child. It is important to use an approved rear- facing infant restraint until the infant isone year old (unless the infant outgrows the seat sooner). This allows the infant’s neck and spine to develop enough to sup-port the weight of their head in the event of an accident. When installing a child restraint system, follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer and follow the directions in this manual. Failure to do so can result in serious injury or death to your child in anaccident or sudden stop.
 After installation, push and pull the child restraint system back
and forth, and side
to side, to see that it is firmly secured. If the child restraint system is not installed securely, it may cause injury to the childor other occupants in the event of an acci- dent or sudden stop. When not in use, keep your child restraint system secured with the seat belt, or remove it from the vehicle, in order to pre-vent it from being thrown around inside the vehicle during an accident. When attaching a child restraint system to the rear seat, prevent the front seatbacks from touching the child restraint system.Otherwise, the child could be seriously injured in the event of hard braking or a collision.WA R N I N G

The outboard seating positions in the rear seat of your vehicle are equipped with loweranchors for attaching child restraint systemscompatible with the LATCH system.
N00418901243
Your vehicle has 3 attachment points on thebackside of the rear
seats. These are for
securing a child restraint system tether strap to each of the 3 rear seating positions in your vehicle.
NOTE
 Before purchasing a child restraint system, try installing it in the rear seat to ensure proper fit. Due to the location of the seat belt buckles and the shape of the seat cushion, it may be difficult to securely install somemanufacturer’s child restraint systems. If the child restraint system can be pulled forward or to either side easily on the seatcushion after the seat belt has been tightened, choose another manufacturer’s child restraint system.Depending on the seating position in the vehicle and the child restraint system that you have, the child restraint system can beattached using one of the following 2 meth- ods: • Attach to the lower anchorage in the rear seat ONLY if the child restraint system is compatible with the LATCH system (Seepage 4-25). • Attach to the seat belt (See page 4-27).

With the exception of the driver, the seat belt in all other seating positions can be converted from normal Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) mode, to Automatic Locking Retractor(ALR) mode. This means that when you pull the seat belt fully out of the retractor, the retractor will switch to its ALR child restraintinstallation function. Always use the ALR child restraint installa
tion function when you
install a child restraint system using the seatbelt. Children 12 years old and under should always be restrained in the rear seat, when-
ever possible, although the front passenger seat belt can also be converted to ALR mode.
WA R N I N G If there is any foreign material in or around the lower anchors, remove it before installing the child restraint sys- tem. Also, make sure the seat belt is away from, not looped through or otherwiseinterfering with, the child restraint sys- tem. If foreign matter is not removed and/or the seat belt interferes with thechild restraint system, the child restraint system will not be secured properly, could detach and move forward in the event ofsudden braking or an accident, and could result in injury to the child or other vehi- cle occupants. When the vehicle is moving, do not adjust the seat where the child restraint system isinstalled.
WA R N I N G Child restraint system tether anchors are designed only to withstand loads from cor- rectly fitted child restraint systems. Underno circumstances are they to be used for adult seat belts, harnesses, for attaching other items, or equipment to the vehicle.
Installing a child restraint sys- tem using the seat belt (with emergency/automatic locking mechanism)
WA R N I N G When you install a child restraint system using the seat belt, always make sure the retractor has been switched to the ALRchild restraint installation function. The ALR function will keep the child restraint system tightly secured to the seat.Failure to convert the retractor to the ALR function may allow the child restraint system to move forward duringsudden braking or an accident, resulting in serious injury or death to the child or other occupants.CAUTION Do not sit in the center seating position of the rear seat when installing a child restraint system on the left side of the rear seat.
Installation
NOTE
 On vehicles equipped with the cargo area cover, install the cargo area cover in the rearposition or remove it. Refer to “Cargo area cover” on page 5-220.
