Warning (Continued)
serious or fatal injuries. The
shoulder belt should go over the
shoulder and across the chest.
Infants and Young Children
Everyone in a vehicle needs
protection! This includes infants and
all other children. Neither the distance
traveled nor the age and size of the
traveler changes the need, for
everyone, to use safety restraints. In
fact, the law in every state in theUnited States and in every Canadian
province says children up to some age
must be restrained while in a vehicle.
{Warning
Children can be seriously injured or
killed if the shoulder belt is worn
behind their back, under their legs,
or wrapped around their neck. The
shoulder belt can tighten but
cannot be loosened if it is locked.
The shoulder belt locks when it is
pulled all the way out of the
retractor. It unlocks when the
shoulder belt is allowed to go all
the way back into the retractor, but
it cannot do this if it is wrapped
around the child. Never leave
children unattended in a vehicle
and never allow children to
improperly wear, or play with, the
seat belts.
Every time infants and young children
ride in vehicles, they should have the
protection provided by appropriate
child restraints. Neither the vehicle's
seat belt system nor its airbag system
is designed for them. Children who are not restrained
properly can strike other people,
or can be thrown out of the vehicle.
{Warning
Never hold an infant or a child
while riding in a vehicle. Due to
crash forces, an infant or a child
will become so heavy it is not
possible to hold it during a crash.
For example, in a crash at only
40 km/h (25 mph), a 5.5 kg (12 lb)
infant will suddenly become a
110 kg (240 lb) force on a person's
arms. An infant or child should be
secured in an appropriate child
restraint.

84 SEATS AND RESTRAINTS
Do not secure a child restraint in a
position without a top tether anchor if
a national or local law requires that
the top tether be attached, or if the
instructions that come with the child
restraint say that the top tether must
be attached.
According to accident statistics,
children and infants are safer when
properly restrained in a child restraint
system or infant restraint system
secured in a rear seating position. See
Where to Put the Restraint078 for
additional information.
Securing a Child Restraint
Designed for the LATCH System
{Warning
A child could be seriously injured or
killed in a crash if the child
restraint is not properly attached to
the vehicle using either the LATCH
anchors or the vehicle seat belt.
Follow the instructions that came
with the child restraint and the
instructions in this manual.
{Warning
To reduce the risk of serious or
fatal injuries during a crash, do not
attach more than one child
restraint to a single anchor.
Attaching more than one child
restraint to a single anchor could
cause the anchor or attachment to
come loose or even break during a
crash. A child or others could be
injured.
{Warning
Children can be seriously injured or
strangled if a shoulder belt is
wrapped around their neck. The
shoulder belt can tighten but
cannot be loosened if it is locked.
The shoulder belt locks when it is
pulled all the way out of the
retractor. It unlocks when the
shoulder belt is allowed to go all
the way back into the retractor, but
it cannot do this if it is wrapped
around a child’s neck. If the
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
shoulder belt is locked and
tightened around a child’s neck, the
only way to loosen the belt is to
cut it.
Buckle any unused seat belts
behind the child restraint so
children cannot reach them. Pull
the shoulder belt all the way out of
the retractor to set the lock, and
tighten the belt behind the child
restraint after the child restraint
has been installed.
Caution
Do not let the LATCH attachments
rub against the vehicle’s seat belts.
This may damage these parts.
If necessary, move buckled seat
belts to avoid rubbing the LATCH
attachments.
Do not fold the rear seatback when
the seat is occupied. Do not fold the
empty rear seat with a seat belt
buckled. This could damage the(Continued)

Position the release button on the
buckle, away from the child
restraint, so that the seat belt

The push button used to release
the latch plate must be visible and
not obscured by the child restraint.
There must not be direct contact of

push down on the child restraint as
you tighten the belt.
Try to pull the belt out of the
retractor to make sure the retractor
is locked. If the retractor is not
locked, repeat Steps 4 and 5.

child restraint at the seat belt path
and attempt to move it side to side
and back and forth. When the child
restraint is properly installed, there
should be no more than
2.5 cm (1 in) of movement.

in the passenger airbag status
indicator will come on and stay on
when the vehicle is started.

On Indicator Is Lit for a Child
Restraint ”under Passenger Sensing
System 067.

98 STORAGE
Remove the cargo management
system tray (2) by pulling on the
handles (1).
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 properlyinstalled 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
