BOOSTER SEATS
For additional information on installing a
booster seat in your vehicle, follow the in-
structions outlined in this section.
Precautions on booster seats
WARNING
If a booster seat and seat belt are not
used properly, the risk of a child being
injured or killed in a sudden stop or col-
lision greatly increases:
– Make sure the shoulder portion of
the belt is away from the child's face
and neck and the lap portion of the
belt does not cross the stomach.
– Make sure the shoulder belt is not
behind the child or under the child's
arm.
– A booster seat must only be installed
in a seating position that has a lap/
shoulder belt. Booster seats of various sizes are offered
by several manufacturers. When selecting
any booster seat, keep the following points
in mind:
• Choose only a booster seat with a label
certif ying that it complies with Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213 or Ca-
nadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213.
• Check the booster seat in your vehicle to be sure it is compatible with the vehicle’s
seat and seat belt system.

Safety-Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-43

• Make sure the child’s head will be properlysupported by the booster seat or vehicle
seat. The seatback must be at or above
the center of the child’s ears. For example,
if a low back booster seat is chosen, the
vehicle seatback must be at or above the
center of the child’s ears. If the seatback is
lower than the center of the child’s ears, a
high back booster seat should be used.
• If the booster seat is compatible with your vehicle, place the child in the booster
seat and check the various adjustments
to be sure the booster seat is compatible
with the child. Always follow all recom-
mended procedures. All U.S. states and Canadian provinces or
territories require that infants and small
children be restrained in an approved
child restraint at all times while the ve-
hicle is being operated.
The instructions in this section apply to
booster seat installation in the rear seats
or the front passenger seat.
Booster seat installation
WARNING
All booster seats should be installed in
the rear seat. However, if you must in-
stall a booster seat in the front passen-
ger seat, move the passenger's seat to
the rearmost position.
To avoid injury to child, do not use the
lap/shoulder belt in the Automatic
Locking Retractor (ALR) mode when us-
ing a booster seat with the seat belts.
For additional information, see all Warnings
and Cautions in the “Child safety” (P. 1-21),
“Child restraints” (P. 1-23) and “Booster
seats” (P. 1-43) before installing a child
restraint. Follow these steps to install a booster seat
in the rear seat or in the front passenger
seat:

3. The booster seat should be positionedon the vehicle seat so that it is stable.
If necessary, adjust or remove the head
restraint/headrest to obtain the correct
high back booster seat fit. If the head
restraint/headrest is removed, store it in
a secure place. Be sure to reinstall the
head restraint/headrest when the
booster seat is removed. For additional
information about head restraint/
headrest adjustment, removal and in-
stallation, see "Head restraints/
headrests" (P. 1-8). If the seating position does not have an
adjustable head restraint/headrest and
it is interfering with the proper booster
seat fit, try another seating position or a
different booster seat.
4. Position the lap portion of the seat belt low and snug on the child’s hips. Be sure
to follow the booster seat manufactur-
er’s instructions for adjusting the seat
belt routing.
5. Pull the shoulder belt portion of the seat belt toward the retractor to take up ex-
tra slack. Be sure the shoulder belt is
positioned across the top, middle por-
tion of the child’s shoulder. Be sure to
follow the booster seat manufacturer’s
instructions for adjusting the seat belt
routing.
6. Follow the warnings, cautions and in- structions for properly fastening a seat
belt shown in “Three-point type seat belt
with retractor” (P. 1-15). 7. If the booster seat is installed in the front
passenger seat, place the ignition switch
in the ON position. The front passenger
air bag status light
may or may not
illuminate, depending on the size of the
child and the type of booster seat being
used. For additional information, see
“Front passenger air bag and status
light” (P. 1-57).
