single tether, route the tether
around the inboard side of the
headrest or head restraint.
If the position you are using
has a fixed or an adjustable
head restraint and you are
using a dual tether, route the
tether around the head
restraint.
If the child restraint is
installed next to a center seat,
make sure the top tether does
not interfere with the center
seating position shoulder belt/
retractor. If it does, find
another suitable seating
position to install the child
restraint.3. Before placing a child in the child
restraint, make sure it is securely
held in place. To check, grasp the
child restraint at the LATCH path
and attempt to move it side to side
and back and forth. There should
be no more than 2.5 cm (1 in) of
movement, for proper installation.
Replacing LATCH System
Parts After a Crash
{Warning
A crash can damage the LATCH
system in the vehicle. A damaged
LATCH system may not properly
secure the child restraint, resulting
in serious injury or even death in a
crash. To help make sure the
LATCH system is working properly
after a crash, see your dealer to
have the system inspected and any
necessary replacements made as
soon as possible.
If the vehicle has the LATCH system
and it was being used during a crash,
new LATCH system parts may be
needed. New parts and repairs may be
necessary even if the LATCH system
was not being used at the time of the
crash.
Securing Child Restraints
(With the Seat Belt in the
Rear Seat)
The vehicle is equipped with a front
center airbag in the inboard side of
the driver seat. Even with a front
center airbag, a child restraint can be
installed in any second row seating
position. If you install a child restraint
in a second row center seat, move the
second row seat to the rearward
position, whenever possible, to
minimize contact with the front
center airbag.
When securing a child restraint with
the seat belts in a rear seat position,
study the instructions that came with
the child restraint to make sure it is
compatible with this vehicle.
If the child restraint has the LATCH
system, see
Lower Anchors and Tethers
for Children (LATCH System) 085 for
how and where to install the child

SEATS AND RESTRAINTS 95
Securing Child Restraints
(With the Seat Belt in the
Front Passenger Seat)
This vehicle has airbags. A rear seat is
a safer place to secure a
forward-facing child restraint. See
Where to Put the Restraint083.
In addition, the vehicle has a
passenger sensing system which is
designed to turn off the front
outboard passenger frontal airbag
under certain conditions. See
Passenger Sensing System 072 and
Passenger Airbag Status Indicator 0122
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.
{Warning
A child in a rear-facing child
restraint can be seriously injured or
killed if the front outboard
passenger frontal airbag inflates.
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
This is because the back of the
rear-facing child restraint would be
very close to the inflating airbag.
A child in a forward-facing child
restraint can be seriously injured or
killed if the front outboard
passenger frontal airbag inflates
and the passenger seat is in a
forward position.
Even if the passenger sensing
system has turned off the front
outboard passenger frontal airbag,
no system is fail-safe. No one can
guarantee that an airbag will not
deploy under some unusual
circumstance, even though it is
turned off.
Secure rear-facing child restraints
in a rear seat, even if the airbag is
off. If you secure a forward-facing
child restraint in the front outboard
passenger seat, always move the
seat as far back as it will go. It is
better to secure the child restraint
in a rear seat.(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
SeePassenger Sensing System 072
for additional information.
If the child restraint uses a top tether,
see Lower Anchors and Tethers for
Children (LATCH System) 085 for top
tether anchor locations.
Do not secure a child seat in a
position without a top tether anchor if
a national or local law requires that
the top tether be anchored, or if the
instructions that come with the child
restraint say that the top tether must
be anchored.
In Canada, the law requires that
forward-facing child restraints have a
top tether, and that the tether be
attached.
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. Move the seat as far back as it will go before securing the
forward-facing child restraint. Move
the seat upward or the seatback to

102 STORAGE
Convenience Net
This vehicle may have a convenience
net in the rear of the vehicle. Attach it
to the cargo tie-downs for storing
small loads.
Do not use the net to store heavy
loads.
Roof Rack System
The vehicle may be equipped with
side-rails for a roof rack system. Cargo
must be secured with properly
installed cross rails and other
accessories designed to carry cargo.
These can be purchased from your
dealer.
{Warning
Before driving and occasionally
during a trip, check that cargo is
securely fastened, rests evenly
between the cross rails and does
not block the vehicle's lamps or
windows. Never load cargo directly
on the roof of the vehicle or allow
cargo to hang over the rear or sides
of the vehicle. Never load cargo
without first properly installing
cross rails and other accessories
designed to carry cargo. Personal
injury, death or damage to the
vehicle or other property may occur.If driving for a long distance, on rough
roads, or at high speeds, occasionally
stop the vehicle to make sure the
cargo remains in its place.
Cargo Weight Limits
Do not exceed the maximum cargo
weight for the roof rack system,
including the weight of the cross rails
and any other accessories used to
carry the cargo such as bike racks or
roof boxes. The maximum cargo
weight that can be loaded onto the
roof rack system is 100 kg (220 lb) or
the weight designated in the
instructions that came with the cross
rails or other roof rack accessories,
whichever is less.
{Warning
Never load the roof rack with more
weight than specified in this
section. Loading cargo on the roof
rack will make the vehicle's center
of gravity higher. To avoid losing
control of the vehicle, avoid
overloading, high speeds, sudden

starts, sharp turns, sudden braking,
or abrupt maneuvers when carrying
cargo on the roof rack.
The weight of any cargo carried on the
roof rack system must be included in
calculating the loaded weight of the
vehicle. Do not exceed the maximum
vehicle capacity when loading the
vehicle, including cargo carried on the
roof rack system and passengers and
cargo carried in the vehicle. For more
information on vehicle capacity and
loading, see Vehicle Load Limits 0241.

has been activated. SeeWasher Fluid
0 383 for information on filling the
windshield washer fluid reservoir.
{Warning
In freezing weather, do not use the
washer until the windshield is
warmed. Otherwise the washer fluid
can form ice on the windshield,
blocking your vision.
{Warning
Before driving the vehicle, always
clear snow and ice from the hood,
windshield, washer nozzles, roof,
and rear of the vehicle, including all
lamps and windows. Reduced
visibility from snow and ice buildup
could lead to a crash.
Clear snow and ice from the wiper
blades and windshield before using
them. If frozen to the windshield,
carefully loosen or thaw them.
Damaged blades should be replaced.
See Wiper Blade Replacement 0388. Heavy snow or ice can overload the
wiper motor. See
Electrical System
Overload 0390.
Night Vision Camera Washer
When it is dark enough for the night
vision system to operate, activate the
front windshield washer five times to
clean the camera sensor.
See Night Vision System 0325 for
information on using the night vision
system.
Wiper Parking
If the ignition is turned off while the
wipers are on LO, HI, or AUTO with
Rainsense turned off, they will
immediately stop.
If the windshield wiper lever is then
moved to OFF before the driver door is
opened or within 10 minutes, the
wipers will restart and move to the
base of the windshield.
If the ignition is turned off while the
wipers are performing wipes due to
windshield washing or Rainsense, the
wipers continue to run until they
reach the base of the windshield.
Rainsense
If equipped with Rainsense and the
feature is turned on, a sensor near the
top center of the windshield detects
the amount of water on the
windshield and controls the frequency
of the windshield wiper based on the
current sensitivity setting.
Keep this area of the windshield clear
of debris to allow for best system
performance.
AUTO : Move the windshield wiper
lever to AUTO. Turn the band on the
wiper lever to adjust the sensitivity.
.Turn the band up for more
sensitivity to moisture.
.Turn the band down for less
sensitivity to moisture.
