passengers safe, too.
• Position the shoulder belt across the
shoulder and chest with minimal, if any
slack so that it is comfortable and not
resting on your neck. The retractor will
withdraw any slack in the shoulder belt.
• Misadjustment of the seat belt could
reduce the effectiveness of the safety
belt in a crash.
• Always make all seat belt height adjust-
ments when the vehicle is stationary.
Second Row Center Seat Belt Operating In-
structions — Fixed Rear Seat — If Equipped
The second row center seat belt may feature a
seat belt with a mini-latch plate and buckle,
which allows the seat belt to detach from the
lower anchor when the seat is folded. The
mini-latch plate and regular latch plate can
then be stored out of the way in the left side
trim panel for added convenience to open up
utilization of the storage areas behind the
front seats when the seat is not occupied.1. Remove the mini-latch plate and regular
latch plate from its stowed position in the
left rear side trim panel.
2. Grasp the mini-latch plate and pull the
seat belt over the seat.3. Route the shoulder belt through the seat

Seat Belts For Older Children
Children over 1.50 m in height can wear seat
belts instead of using child restraints.
Use this simple 5-step test to decide whether
the seat belt properly fits the child or if they
should still use a Group 2 or Group 3 child
restraint to improve the fit of the seat belt:
1. Can the child sit all the way back against
the back of the vehicle seat?
2. Do the child’s knees bend comfortably
over the front of the vehicle seat – while
the child is still sitting all the way back?
3. Does the shoulder belt cross the child’s
shoulder between the neck and arm?
4. Is the lap part of the belt as low as
possible, touching the child’s thighs and
not the stomach?
5. Can the child stay seated like this for the
whole trip?If the answer to any of these questions was
“no,” then the child still needs to use a Group
2 or 3 child restraint in this vehicle. If the
child is using the lap/shoulder belt, check
belt fit periodically and make sure the seat
belt buckle is latched. A child’s squirming or
slouching can move the belt out of position. If
the shoulder belt contacts the face or neck,
move the child closer to the center of the
vehicle, or use a booster seat to position the
seat belt on the child correctly.
WARNING!
Never allow a child to put the shoulder belt
under an arm or behind their back. In a
crash, the shoulder belt will not protect a
child properly, which may result in serious
injury or death. A child must always wear
both the lap and shoulder portions of the
seat belt correctly.
ISOFIX Restraint System
Your vehicle is equipped with the child re-
straint anchorage system called ISOFIX. This
system allows ISOFIX-equipped child seats
to be installed without using the vehicle’s
seat belts. The ISOFIX system has two lower
anchorages located at the back of the seat
cushion where it meets the seatback and a
top tether anchorage located behind the seat-
ing position.
An example of a Universal ISOFIX child re-
straint system for weight group 1 is shown in
fig. E. ISOFIX child restraints are also avail-
able in the other weight groups.

Suitability of Passenger Seats for i-Size
Child Restraint System Use
The rear outboard seats of the vehicle are
type-approved to house the state-of-the-art
i-Size child restraint systems.
These child restraint systems, built and type-
approved according to the i-Size (ECE R129)
standard, ensure better safety conditions to
carry children on board a vehicle:
• The child must be transported rearward
facing until 15 months:
• Child restraint system protection is in-
creased in the event of a side collision:
• The use of the ISOFIX system is promoted
to avoid faulty installation of the child re-
straint system:
• Efficiency in the choice of the child re-
straint system, which isn't made according
to weight anymore but according to the
child's height, is increased:• Compatibility between the vehicle seats
and the child restraint systems is better:
the i-Size child restraint systems can be
considered as "Super ISOFIX"; this means
that they can be perfectly fitted in type-
approved i-Size seats, but can also be fitted
in ISOFIX (ECE R44) type-approved seats.
NOTE:
The vehicle seats, i-Size type-approved, are
marked by the symbol shown in Figure XX.
The following table, according to
European standard ECE 129, in-
dicates the possibility of i-Size
child restraint system installa-
tion.
