66 Seats and Restraints
Lap-Shoulder Belt
All seating positions in the
vehicle have a
lap-shoulder belt.
The following instructions
explain how to wear a
lap-shoulder belt properly.1. Adjust the seat, if the seat is adjustable, so you can sit
up straight. To see how,
see “Seats” in the Index.
2. Pick up the latch plate and
pull the belt across you. Do
not let it get twisted. The lap-shoulder belt may
lock if you pull the belt
across you very quickly.
If this happens, let the belt
go back slightly to unlock
it. Then pull the belt across
you more slowly.
If the shoulder portion of a
passenger belt is pulled
out all the way, the child
restraint locking feature
may be engaged. See Child
Restraint Systems
089.
If this occurs, let the belt
go back all the way and
start again. If the locking
feature stays engaged
after letting the belt go
back to stowed position on
the seat, move the seat
rearward or recline the
seat until the shoulder belt
retractor lock releases.
Engaging the child
restraint locking feature in
the front outboard seating
position may affect the
passenger sensing system.
See Passenger Sensing
System 078.
If the webbing locks in the
latch plate before it
reaches the buckle, tilt the
latch plate flat to unlock.

80 Seats and Restraints
When the passenger sensing
system has allowed the airbag
to be enabled, the ON
indicator will light and stay lit
as a reminder that the airbag
is active.
For some children, including
children in child restraints, and
for very small adults, the
passenger sensing system
may or may not turn off the
front outboard passenger
frontal airbag, depending upon
the person's seating posture
and body build. Everyone in
the vehicle who has outgrown
child restraints should wear a
seat belt properly—whether
or not there is an airbag for
that person.
{Warning
If the airbag readiness light
ever comes on and stays on,
it means that something may
be wrong with the airbag
system. To help avoid injury
to yourself or others, have

the vehicle serviced right
away. See Airbag Readiness
Light0132 for more
information, including
important safety
information.
If the On Indicator Is Lit
for a Child Restraint
The passenger sensing
system is designed to turn off
the front outboard passenger
frontal airbag if the system
determines that an infant is
present in a child restraint. If a
child restraint has been
installed and the ON indicator
is lit:
1. Turn the vehicle off.
2. Remove the child restraint from the vehicle.
3. Remove any additional items from the seat such
as blankets, cushions, seat
covers, seat heaters,
or seat massagers. 4. Reinstall the child restraint
following the directions
provided by the child
restraint manufacturer and
refer to Securing Child
Restraints (With the Seat
Belt in the Rear Seat) 0102
or Securing Child
Restraints (With the Seat
Belt in the Front Seat)
0 104.
Make sure the seat belt
retractor is locked by
pulling the shoulder belt all
the way out of the
retractor when installing
the child restraint, even if
the child restraint is
equipped with a seat belt
lock off. When the
retractor lock is set, the
belt can be tightened but
not pulled out of the
retractor.
5. If, after reinstalling the child restraint and
restarting the vehicle, the
ON indicator is still lit, turn
the vehicle off. Then
slightly recline the vehicle

seatback and adjust the
seat cushion, if adjustable,
to make sure that the
vehicle seatback is not
pushing the child restraint
into the seat cushion.
Also make sure the child
restraint is not trapped
under the vehicle head
restraint. If this happens,
adjust the head restraint.
See Head Restraints047.
6. Restart the vehicle.
The passenger sensing
system may or may not turn
off the airbag for a child in a
child restraint depending upon
the child’s size. It is better to
secure the child restraint in a
rear seat. Never put a
rear-facing child restraint in
the front seat, even if the ON
indicator is not lit.If the Off Indicator Is Lit
for an Adult-Sized
Occupant
If a person of adult size is
sitting in the front outboard
passenger seat, but the OFF
indicator is lit, it could be
because that person is not
sitting properly in the seat or
that the child restraint locking
feature is engaged. Use the
following steps to allow the
system to detect that person
and enable the front outboard
passenger frontal airbag: 1. Turn the vehicle off. 2. Remove any additional
material from the seat,
such as blankets, cushions,
seat covers, seat heaters,
or seat massagers.
3. Place the seatback in the fully upright position.
4. Have the person sit upright in the seat,
centered on the seat
cushion, with legs
comfortably extended.
5. If the shoulder portion of the belt is pulled out all the
way, the child restraint
locking feature will be
engaged. This may
unintentionally cause the
passenger sensing system
to turn the airbag off for
some adult-sized
occupants. If this happens,
unbuckle the belt, let the
belt go back all the way,
and then buckle the belt
again without pulling the
belt out all the way.

{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.
{Warning
Children who are up against,
or very close to, any airbag
when it inflates can be
seriously injured or killed.
Never put a rear-facing child
restraint in the front
outboard seat. Secure a
rear-facing child restraint in
a rear seat. It is also better
to secure a forward-facing
child restraint in a rear seat.
If you must secure a
forward-facing child
restraint in the front

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 shoulder belt is
locked and tightened around
a child’s neck, the only way
to loosen the belt is to cut it.(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
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

Caution (Continued)
damage the seat belt or the
seat. Unbuckle and return
the seat belt to its stowed
position, before folding
the seat.
If you need to secure more
than one child restraint in the
rear seat, see Where to Put
the Restraint 091.
1. Put the child restraint on the seat.
2. Attach and tighten the lower attachments to the
lower anchors. If the child
restraint does not have
lower attachments or the
desired seating position
does not have lower
anchors, secure the child
restraint with the top
tether and the seat belt.
Refer to your child
restraint manufacturer
instructions and the
instructions in this manual.

3. Push the latch plate intothe 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.
There must not be direct
contact of the child
restraint to the push
button.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) 092.
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 091.
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 078 and
Passenger Airbag Status
Indicator 0133 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 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.
