(1) For the CRS which do not carry the ISO/XX
size class identification (A to G), for the appli-
cable mass group, the car manufacturer shall
indicate the vehicle specific ISOFIX child re-
straint system(s) recommended for each posi-
tion.
IUF = Suitable for ISOFIX forward child restraint
systems of “universal” category approved for
use in the mass group.
IL = Suitable for particular ISOFIX child restraint
systems (CRS) given in the attachment list.
These ISOFIX CRS are those of the “specific
vehicle”, “restricted” or “semi-universal”
categories.
X = ISOFIX position not suitable for ISOFIX
child restraint systems in this mass group
and/or this size class.* Front seat must be placed in the mid-track
travel position or forward of this position with the
seat back in the vertical position.
Always follow the directions of the child
restraint manufacturer when installing your
child restraint. Not all child restraint sys-
tems will be installed as described here.
When using a Universal ISOFIX child re-
straint system, you can only use approved
child restraint systems with the marking
ECE R44 (release R44/03 or superior) “Uni-
versal ISOFIX”.
To Install An ISOFIX Child Restraint:
If the selected seating position has a Switchable
Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) seat belt,
stow the seat belt, following the instructions
below. See the section “Installing Child Re-
straints Using the Vehicle Seat Belt” to check
what type of seat belt each seating position has.1. Loosen the adjusters on the lower connec-
tors and on the tether strap of the child seat
so that you can more easily attach the
connectors to the vehicle anchorages.
2. Place the child seat between the lower an-
chorages for that seating position. For some
second row seats, you may need to recline
the seat and / or raise the head restraint to
get a better fit. If the rear seat can be moved
forward and rearward in the vehicle, you
may wish to move it to its rear-most position
to make room for the child seat. You may
also move the front seat forward to allow
more room for the child seat.
3. Attach the connectors of the child restraint to
the lower anchorages in the selected seating
position.
54

4. If the child restraint has a tether strap, con-
nect it to the top tether anchorage. See the
section “Installing Child Restraints Using the
Top Tether Anchorage” for directions to at-
tach a tether anchor.
5.
Tighten all of the straps as you push the child
restraint rearward and downward into the seat.
Remove slack in the straps according to the
child restraint manufacturer’s instructions.
6. Test that the child restraint is installed tightly
by pulling back and forth on the child seat at
the belt path. It should not move more than
25 mm in any direction.
WARNING!
•Improper installation of a child restraint to
the ISOFIX anchorages can lead to failure
of the restraint. The child could be badly
injured or killed. Follow the child restraint
manufacturer’s directions exactly when in-
stalling an infant or child restraint.
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
•Child restraint anchorages are designed to
withstand only those loads imposed by
correctly-fitted child restraints. Under no
circumstances are they to be used for
adult seat belts, harnesses, or for attach-
ing other items or equipment to the ve-
hicle.
•Install the child restraint system when the
vehicle is stationary. The ISOFIX child
restraint system is correctly fixed to the
brackets when you hear the click.
Installing Child Restraints Using The Top
Tether Anchorage:
1. Look behind the seating position where you
plan to install the child restraint to find the
tether anchorage. You may need to move
the seat forward to provide better access to
the tether anchorage. If there is no top tether
anchorage for that seating position, move
the child restraint to another position in the
vehicle if one is available.2. Route the tether strap to provide the most
direct path for the strap between the anchor
and the child seat. If your vehicle is equipped
with adjustable rear head restraints, raise
the head restraint, and where possible, route
the tether strap under the head restraint and
between the two posts. If not possible, lower
the head restraint and pass the tether strap
around the outboard side of the head re-
straint.
3. Attach the tether strap hook of the child
restraint to the top tether anchorage as
shown in the diagram.
55

4. Remove slack in the tether strap according
to the child restraint manufacturer’s instruc-
tions.
WARNING!
•An incorrectly anchored tether strap could
lead to increased head motion and pos-
sible injury to the child. Use only the an-
chorage position directly behind the child
seat to secure a child restraint top tether
strap.
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
•If your vehicle is equipped with a split rear
seat, make sure the tether strap does not
slip into the opening between the seat-
backs as you remove slack in the strap.
Installing Child Restraints Using the
Vehicle Seat Belt
The seat belts in the passenger seating posi-
tions are equipped with a Switchable Automatic
Locking Retractor (ALR) that is designed to
keep the lap portion of the seat belt tight around
the child restraint. The ALR retractor can be
“switched” into a locked mode by pulling all of
the webbing out of the retractor and then letting
the webbing retract back into the retractor. If it is
locked, the ALR will make a clicking noise while
the webbing is pulled back into the retractor. For
additional information on ALR, refer to the “Au-
tomatic Locking Mode” description under “Oc-
cupant Restraints.”
How To Stow An Unused Switchable-ALR
(ALR) Seat Belt:
When using the ISOFIX attaching system to
install a child restraint, stow all ALR seat beltsthat are not being used by other occupants or
being used to secure child restraints. An unused
belt could injure a child if they play with it and
accidentally lock the seat belt retractor. Before
installing a child restraint using the ISOFIX
system, buckle the seat belt behind the child
restraint and out of the child’s reach. If the
buckled seat belt interferes with the child re-
straint installation, instead of buckling it behind
the child restraint, route the seat belt through
the child restraint belt path and then buckle it.
Do not lock the seat belt. Remind all children in
the vehicle that the seat belts are not toys and
that they should not play with them.
Installing A Child Restraint With A
Switchable Automatic Locking Retractor
(ALR):
1. Place the child seat in the center of the
seating position. For some second row
seats, you may need to recline the seat
and/or raise the head restraint to get a better
fit. If the rear seat can be moved forward and
rearward in the vehicle, you may wish to
move it to its rear-most position to make
Rear Seat Tether Anchors

room for the child seat. You may also move
the front seat forward to allow more room for
the child seat.
2. Pull enough of the seat belt webbing from
the retractor to pass it through the belt path
of the child restraint. Do not twist the belt
webbing in the belt path.
3. Slide the latch plate into the buckle until you
hear a “click.”
4. Pull on the webbing to make the lap portion
tight against the child seat.
5. To lock the seat belt, pull down on the
shoulder part of the belt until you have pulled
all the seat belt webbing out of the retractor.
Then, allow the webbing to retract back into
the retractor. As the webbing retracts, you
will hear a clicking sound. This means the
seat belt is now in the Automatic Locking
mode.6. Try to pull the webbing out of the retractor. If
it is locked, you should not be able to pull out
any webbing. If the retractor is not locked,
repeat step 5.
7.
Finally, pull up on any excess webbing to
tighten the lap portion around the child re-
straint while you push the child restraint rear-
ward and downward into the vehicle seat.
8. Test that the child restraint is installed tightly
by pulling back and forth on the child seat at
the belt path. It should not move more than
25 mm in any direction.
Any seat belt system will loosen with time, so
check the belt occasionally, and pull it tight if
necessary.
Transporting PetsAir Bags deploying in the front seat could harm
your pet. An unrestrained pet will be thrown
about and possibly injured, or injure a passen-
ger during panic braking or in a collision.
Pets should be restrained in the rear seat in pet
harnesses or pet carriers that are secured by
seat belts.
ENGINE BREAK-IN
RECOMMENDATIONS
A long break-in period is not required for the
engine and drivetrain (transmission and axle) in
your vehicle.
Drive moderately during the first 300 miles
(500 km). After the initial 60 miles (100 km),
speeds up to 50 or 55 mph (80 or 90 km/h) are
desirable.
While cruising, brief full-throttle acceleration
within the limits of local traffic laws contributes
to a good break-in. Wide-open throttle accelera-
tion in low gear can be detrimental and should
be avoided.
The engine oil installed in the engine at the
factory is a high-quality energy conserving type
lubricant. Oil changes should be consistent with
anticipated climate conditions under which ve-
hicle operations will occur. For the recom-
mended viscosity and quality grades, refer to
“Maintenance Procedures” in “Maintaining Your
Vehicle.”
