4. Pull the shoulder belt allthe way out of the
retractor to set the lock.
When the retractor lock is
set, the belt can be
tightened but not pulled
out of the retractor.5. To tighten the belt, pushdown on the child restraint,
pull the shoulder portion of
the belt to tighten the lap
portion of the belt, and
feed the shoulder belt
back into the retractor.
When installing a
forward-facing child
restraint, it may be helpful
to use your knee to 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.
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) 086.
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.

98 Seats and Restraints
If the head restraint was
removed, reinstall it before the
seating position is used. See
"Head Restraint Removal and
Reinstallation" under Lower
Anchors and Tethers for
Children (LATCH System)086
for additional information on
installing the head restraint
properly.
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 and
knee airbag under certain
conditions. See Passenger
Sensing System 072 and Passenger Airbag Status
Indicator
0125 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.
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
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
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.

Seats and Restraints 99
If the child restraint uses a top
tether, see Lower Anchors
and Tethers for Children
(LATCH System)086 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 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
0125.
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.
4. Push the latch plate into
the buckle until it clicks.
Position the release button
on the buckle, away from
the child restraint, so that
the seat belt could be
quickly unbuckled if
necessary.

5. Pull the shoulder belt allthe way out of the
retractor to set the lock.
When the retractor lock is
set, the belt can be
tightened but not pulled
out of the retractor.6. To tighten the belt, pushdown on the child restraint,
pull the shoulder portion of
the belt to tighten the lap
portion of the belt, and
feed the shoulder belt
back into the retractor.
There must be finger
clearance between the
push button and the child
restraint. If there is not
clearance between the
buckle push button and the
child restraint, move the
seat upward and repeat prior installation steps.
Otherwise secure the child
restraint in a rear seat.
When installing a
forward-facing child
restraint, it may be helpful
to use your knee to 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 5 and 6.
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.

could strike people in a
sudden stop or turn, or in a
crash. Store the cargo cover
securely or remove it from
the vehicle.
{Warning

or turns can cause objects
to be thrown in the vehicle.
You or others could be
injured.
If equipped, the cargo cover
can be used to cover items in
the cargo area.
Installing the Cargo Cover1. Slide the cargo cover into the two front corner
brackets until it snaps in

Storage 107
{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, (Continued)
Warning (Continued)
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 0242.
