Warning (Continued)
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)
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)
087
for how and where to install
the child restraint using
LATCH. If a child restraint is
secured in the vehicle using a
seat belt and it uses a top
tether, see Lower Anchors
and Tethers for Children
(LATCH System) 087 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. If the child restraint or vehicle
seat position does not have
the LATCH system, you will be
using the seat belt to secure
the child restraint. Be sure to
follow the instructions that
came with the child restraint.
If more than one child restraint
needs to be installed in the
rear seat, be sure to read
Where to Put the Restraint

85.
1. Put the child restraint on the seat.
If the head restraint
interferes with the proper
installation of the child
restraint, see your dealer
for assistance.
2. Pick up the latch plate and run the lap and shoulder
portions of the vehicle
seat belt through or
around the child restraint.
Ensure the seat belt
webbing is routed as
directly as possible and is
not caught on seat handles

If the retractor is not
locked, repeat
Steps 4 and 5.
6. If the child restraint has a top tether, follow the child
restraint manufacturer's
instructions regarding the
use of the top tether. See
Lower Anchors and
Tethers for Children
(LATCH System) 087.
7. Before placing a child in the child restraint, make
sure it is securely held in
place. To check, grasp the
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.
To remove the child restraint,
unbuckle the vehicle seat belt
and let it return to the stowed
position. If the top tether is
attached to a top tether
anchor, disconnect it.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 085.
In addition, the vehicle has a
passenger sensing system
which is designed to turn off
the front outboard passenger
frontal airbag and knee airbag
under certain conditions. See
Passenger Sensing System
0 72 and
Passenger Airbag Status
Indicator 0124 for more
information, including
important safety information.
Never put a rear-facing child
seat 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. 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 airbag(s), no
system is fail-safe. No one
can guarantee that an
airbag will not deploy under

Warning (Continued)
some unusual circumstance,
even though the airbag(s)
are off.
Secure rear-facing child
restraints in a rear seat,
even if the airbag(s) are 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.
See Passenger Sensing
System072 for additional
information.
If the child restraint uses a top
tether, see Lower Anchors
and Tethers for Children
(LATCH System) 087 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
an upright position,
if needed, to get a tight
installation of the child
restraint. There must be
finger clearance between
the push button and the
child restraint. When the passenger
sensing system has turned
off the front outboard
passenger frontal airbag
and knee airbag, the OFF
indicator on the passenger
airbag status indicator
should light and stay lit
when you start the vehicle.
See Passenger Airbag
Status Indicator
0124.
2. Put the child restraint on the seat.
3. Pick up the latch plate and run the lap and shoulder
portions of the vehicle
seat belt through or
around the restraint.
Ensure the seat belt
webbing is routed as direct
as possible and is not
caught on seat handles or
plastic trim. The child
restraint instructions will
show you how.
