WARNING
Head restraint/headrest supplement the
other vehicle safety systems. They may
provide additional protection against
injury in certain rear end collisions.
Adjustable head restraint/headrest
must be adjusted properly, as specified
in this section. Check the adjustment
after someone else uses the seat. Do not
attach anything to the head restraint/
headrest stalks or remove the head
restraint/headrest. Do not use the seat
if the head restraint/headrest has been
removed. If the head restraint/headrest
was removed, reinstall and properly
adjust the head restraint/headrest be-
fore an occupant uses the seating posi-
tion. Failure to follow these instructions
can reduce the effectiveness of the head
restraint/headrest. This may increase
the risk of serious injury or death in a
collision.

The illustration shows the seating positions
equipped with head restraint/headrest.
Indicates the seating position is
equipped with a head restraint.
Indicates the seating position is
equipped with a headrest.
+ Indicates the seating position is not
equipped with a head restraint or headrest.
.Your vehicle is equipped with a head
restraint/headrest that may be inte-
grated, adjustable or non-adjustable.
.Adjustable head restraints/headrests
have multiple notches along the stalk to
lock them in a desired adjustment posi-
tion..The non-adjustable head restraints/
headrests have a single locking notch to
secure them to the seat frame.
.Proper Adjustment:
— For the adjustable type, align the head
restraint/headrest so the center of
your ear is approximately level with
the center of the head restraint/
headrest.
— If your ear position is still higher than
the recommended alignment, place
the head restraint/headrest at the
highest position.
.If the head restraint/headrest has been
removed, ensure that it is reinstalled and
locked in place before riding in that
designated seating position.

2. Route the seat belt tongue through the
child restraint and insert it into the buckle
until you hear and feel the latch engage.
Be sure to follow the child restraint
manufacturer’s instructions for belt
routing.
SSS0655
Rear-facing — step 3
3. Pull the shoulder belt until the belt is fully
extended. At this time, the seat belt
retractor is in the Automatic Locking
Retractor (ALR) mode (child restraint
mode). It reverts to the Emergency
Locking Retractor (ELR) mode when
the seat belt is fully retracted.

seat belt; press downward and rearward
firmly in the center of the child restraint
to compress the vehicle seat cushion and
seatback while pulling up on the seat
belt.
SSS0658
Rear-facing — step 6
6. After attaching the child restraint, test it
before you place the child in it. Push it
from side to side while holding the child
restraint near the seat belt path. The
child restraint should not move more
than 1 inch (25 mm), from side to side.
Try to tug it forward and check to see if
the belt holds the restraint in place. If the
restraint is not secure, tighten the seat
belt as necessary, or put the restraint in
another seat and test it again. You may
need to try a different child restraint. Not
all child restraints fit in all types of
vehicles.
7. Check to make sure that the child
restraint is properly secured prior to eachuse. If the seat belt is not locked, repeat
steps 1 through 6.
After the child restraint is removed and the
seat belt fully retracted, the ALR mode (child
restraint mode) is canceled.
FORWARD-FACING CHILD RE-
STRAINT INSTALLATION USING
LATCH
For additional information, refer to all
Warnings and Cautions in the “Child safety”
and “Child restraints” sections before instal-
ling a child restraint.
Do not use the lower anchors if the com-
bined weight of the child and the child
restraint exceeds 65 lbs (29.5 kg). If the
combined weight of the child and the child
restraint is greater than 65 lbs (29.5 kg), use
the vehicle’s seat belt (not the lower an-
chors) to install the child restraint. Be sure to
follow the child restraint manufacturer’s
instructions for installation.
Follow these steps to install a forward-
facing child restraint using the LATCH
system:
1. Position the child restraint on the seat.
Always follow the child restraint manu-
facturer’s instructions.

SSS0645
Forward-facing web-mounted — step 2
2. Secure the child restraint anchor attach-
ments to the LATCH lower anchors.
Check to make sure the LATCH attach-
ment is properly attached to the lower
anchors.
If the child restraint is equipped with a
top tether strap, route the top tether
strap and secure the tether strap to the
tether anchor point. See “Installing top
tether strap” (P.1-30). Do not install
child restraints that require the use of a
top tether strap in seating positions that
do not have a top tether anchor.
SSS0646
Forward-facing rigid-mounted — step 2
3. The back of the child restraint should be
secured against the vehicle seatback.
If the seating position does not have an
adjustable head restraint and it is inter-
fering with the proper child restraint fit,
try another seating position or a differ-
ent child restraint.
SSS0647
Forward-facing — step 4
4. For child restraints that are equipped
with webbing-mounted attachments, re-
move any additional slack from the
anchor attachments. Press downward
and rearward firmly in the center of the
child restraint with your knee to com-
press the vehicle seat cushion and seat-
back while tightening the webbing of the
anchor attachments.
5. Tighten the tether strap according to the
manufacturer’s instructions to remove
any slack.

passenger seat:
1.If you must install a child restraint in the
front seat, it should be placed in a
forward-facing direction only. Move
the seat to the rearmost position. Child
restraints for infants must be used in the
rear-facing direction and, therefore,
must not be used in the front seat.
2. Position the child restraint on the seat.
Always follow the child restraint manu-
facturer’s instructions.
The back of the child restraint should be
secured against the vehicle seatback.
If necessary, adjust or remove the head
restraint or headrest to obtain the
correct child restraint fit. If the head
restraint or headrest is removed, store it
in a secure place.Be sure to reinstall the
head restraint or headrest when the
child restraint is removed.See “Head
restraints/headrests” (P.1-7) for head
restraint or headrest adjustment, re-
moval and installation information.
If the seating position does not have an
adjustable head restraint or headrest
and it is interfering with the proper child
restraint fit, try another seating position
or a different child restraint.

3. Route the seat belt tongue through the
child restraint and insert it into the buckle
until you hear and feel the latch engage.
Be sure to follow the child restraint
manufacturer’s instructions for belt
routing.
If the child restraint is equipped with a
top tether strap, route the top tether
strap and secure the tether strap to the
tether anchor point (rear seat installation
only). See “Installing top tether strap”
(P.1-34). Do not install child restraints
that require the use of a top tether strap
in seating positions that do not have a
top tether anchor.
