extension.
{Warning
Do not let anyone ride in the front
passenger seat when a
rear-facing child restraint is
installed in the right rear seating
position. To properly fit the
rear-facing child restraint, the
front seatback will need to be
tilted forward which will not allow
a passenger to sit properly in the
front outboard passenger seat.
The passenger could be seriously
injured or killed in a sudden stop
or crash.
A booster seat may be used in the
left rear seating position if the base
of the booster seat fits on the seat
cushion and does not extend past
the front edge of the seat cushion. If the booster seat extends past the
front of the seat cushion, it should
be used in the right rear seating
position with the seat cushion
extension.
When using the lap-shoulder belt to
secure the child restraint in this
position, follow the instructions that
came with the child restraint and the
following instructions:
1. Always install the seat cushion extension in the right rear seat
position when installing a
forward-facing or rear-facing
child restraint. Also use the
seat cushion extension for
booster seats that extend past
the front edge of the seat
cushion.
2. Press the button on thepassenger side headrest and
pull up.

When a rear-facing child
restraint is installed properly,
the front passenger seat
cannot be used.

using a top tether, adjust the
top tether to its full length and
attach it to the top tether anchor. Refer to the
instructions that came with the
child restraint and see
Lower
Anchors and Tethers for
Children (LATCH System) 063.

of the vehicle seat belt through
or around the child restraint.
The child restraint instructions

Securing Child Restraints
(With the Seat Belt in the
Front Seat)
This vehicle has airbags. A rear
seat is a safer place to secure a
forward-facing child restraint. See
Where to Put the Restraint 062.
In addition, the vehicle has a
passenger sensing system which is
designed to turn off the front
outboard passenger's frontal airbag
under certain conditions. See
Passenger Sensing System 050
and
Passenger Airbag Status Indicator
0 104 for more information,
including important safety
information.
Never put a rear-facing child
restraint in the front. This is because
the risk to the rear-facing child is so
great, if the airbag deploys.
