1-3. Child Restraint
WARNING
■Do not allow a child or anyone to lean over or against the side window
of a vehicle with side and curtain air bags
It is dangerous to allow anyone to lean over or against the sid e window, the
area of the front passenger seat, the front and rear window pil lars and the
roof edge along both sides from which the side and curtain air bags deploy,
even if a child-restraint system is used. The impact of inflati on from a side or
curtain air bag could cause serious injury or death to an out of position child.
Furthermore, leaning over or agai nst the front door could block the side and
curtain air bags and eliminate the advantages of supplemental p rotection.
With the front air bag and the additional side air bag that comes out of the
front seat, the rear seat is always a better location for child ren. Take special
care not to allow a child to lean over or against the side wind ow, even if the
child is seated in a child-restraint system.
■ Never use one seat belt on more than one person at a time
Using one seat belt for more than one person at a time is dangerous. A seat
belt used in this way cannot spread the impact forces properly and the two
passengers could be crushed together and seriously injured or even killed.
Never use one belt for more than one person at a time and alway s operate
the vehicle with each occupant properly restrained.
■ To prevent burns
A seat belt or child-restraint system can become very hot in a closed vehicle
during warm weather. To avoid burning yourself or a child, check them
before you or your child touches them.

Essential Safety Equipment
Push the child-restraint system
firmly into the vehicle seat. Be
sure the belt retracts as snugly
as possible. A clicking noise
from the retractor will be heard
during retraction if the system is
in the automatic locking mode.
If the belt does not lock the seat
down tight, repeat this step.
Inspect this function before each use of the child-restraint system. You
should not be able to pull the shoulder belt out of the retract or while the
system is in the automatic locking mode. When you remove the ch ild-
restraint system, be sure the belt fully retracts to return the system to
emergency locking mode before occupants use the seat belts.
If your child-restraint system requires the use of a tether str ap, refer
to the manufacturer’s instructions to hook and tighten the teth er
strap.
Follow the child-restraint system manufacturer’s instructions carefully. If you
are not sure whether you have a LATCH system or tether, check i n the child-
restraint system manufacturer’s instructions and follow them ac cordingly.
Depending on the type of child-restraint system, it may use LAT CH system
instead of seat belts or if the belt goes across the child’s chest, may recom-
mend against using automatic locking mode.

1-3. Child Restraint
WARNING
■Always move the front passenger seat as far back as possible if install-
ing a front-facing child-restra int system on it is unavoidable
As your vehicle has front air bags and doubly so because your v ehicle has
side air bags, a front-facing child-restraint system should be put on the front
passenger seat only when it is unavoidable.
Even if the front passenger air bag deactivation indicator ligh t illuminates,
always move the seat as far back as possible, because the force of a
deploying air bag could cause serious injury or death to the ch ild.
■ Never use a rear-facing child-restraint system in the front sea t with an
air bag that could deploy
Rear-facing child-restraint systems on the front seat are parti cularly danger-
ous.
Even in a moderate collision, the child-restraint system can be hit by a
deploying air bag and moved violently backward resulting in ser ious injury
or death to the child. Even though you may feel assured that the front pas-
senger air bag will not deploy based on the fact that the front passenger air
bag deactivation indicator light illuminates, never use a rear- facing child-
restraint system in the front seat.
■ Do not allow a child or anyone to lean over or against the side window
of a vehicle with side and curtain air bags
It is dangerous to allow anyone to lean over or against the sid e window, the
area of the front passenger seat, the front and rear window pil lars and the
roof edge along both sides from which the side and curtain air bags deploy,
even if a child-restraint system is used. The impact of inflati on from a side or
curtain air bag could cause serious injury or death to an out of position child.
Furthermore, leaning over or agai nst the front door could block the side and
curtain air bags and eliminate the advantages of supplemental p rotection.
With the front air bag and the additional side air bag that comes out of the
front seat, the rear seat is always a better location for child ren. Take special
care not to allow a child to lean over or against the side wind ow, even if the
child is seated in a child-restraint system.

1-3. Child Restraint
Push the child-restraint system firmly into the vehicle seat. Be sure
the belt retracts as snugly as possible. A clicking noise from the
retractor will be hear d during retraction if the system is in a utomatic
locking mode. If the belt does not lock the seat down tight, re peat
the previous step and also this one.
Inspect this function before each use of the child-restraint sy stem. You
should not be able to pull the shoulder belt out of the retract or while the
system is in the automatic locking mode. When you remove the ch ild-
restraint system, be sure the belt fully retracts to return the system to
emergency locking mode before occupants use the seat belts.
Seat your child safely in the child-restraint system and secure the
child according to the instructions from the child-restraint sy stem
manufacturer.
Switch the ignition ON and
make sure the front passenger
air bag deactivation indicator
light illuminates after installing a
child-restraint system on the
front passenger seat.
If the front passenger air bag
deactivation indicator light does
not illuminate, remove the child-
restraint system, switch the
ignition to OFF, and then re-
install the child-restraint sys-
tem ( P. 8 2 ) .
Follow the child-restraint system manufacturer’s instructions carefully.

1-3. Child Restraint
First, adjust the front seat to allow clearance between the chi ld-
restraint system and the front seat ( P. 2 3 ) .
Make sure the seatback is securely latched by pushing it back u ntil
it is fully locked.
WARNING
■ Never attach two child-restraint systems to the same LATCH lowe r
anchor
Attaching two child-restraint systems to the same LATCH lower a nchor is
dangerous. In a collision, one anchor may not be strong enough to hold two
child-restraint system attachments, and it may break, causing s erious injury
or death. If you use the seat position for another child-restra int system when
an outboard LATCH position is occupied, use the center seat bel ts instead,
and the tether if tether-equipped.
■ Make sure the child-restraint system is properly secured
An unsecured child-restraint system is dangerous. In a sudden s top or a
collision it could move causing serious injury or death to the child or other
occupants. Follow the child-restraint system manufacturer’s ins tructions on
belt routing to secure the seat just as you would with a child in it so that
nobody is tempted to put a child in an improperly secured seat later on.
When not in use, remove it from the vehicle or fasten it with a seat belt, or
latch it down to BOTH LATCH lower anchors for LATCH child-restr aint sys-
tems.
■ Make sure there are no seat belts or foreign objects near or ar ound the
LATCH child-restraint system
Not following the child-restraint system manufacturer’s instructions when
installing the child-restraint system is dangerous. If seat bel ts or a foreign
object prevent the child-restraint system from being securely a ttached to the
LATCH lower anchors and the child-restraint system is installed improperly,
the child-restraint system could move in a sudden stop or colli sion causing
serious injury or death to the child or other occupants. When i nstalling the
child-restraint system, make sure there are no seat belts or fo reign objects
near or around the LATCH lower anc hors. Always follow the child-restraint
system manufacturer’s instructions.
