66 Seats and Restraints
Forward-Facing Child Restraint
A forward-facing child restraint provides
restraint for the child's body with the
harness.Booster Seats
A belt-positioning booster seat is used for
children who have outgrown their
forward-facing child restraint. Boosters are
designed to improve the fit of the vehicle
seat belt system until the child is large
enough for the vehicle seat belts to fit
properly without a booster seat. See the
seat belt fit test in Older Children062.
Securing an Add-On Child Restraint in
the Vehicle
{Warning
A child can be seriously injured or killed
in a crash if the child restraint is not
properly secured in the vehicle. Secure
the child restraint properly in the vehicle
using the vehicle seat belt, following the
instructions that came with that child
restraint and the instructions in this
manual.
To help reduce the chance of injury, the
child restraint must be secured in the
vehicle. Child restraints must be secured in
vehicle seats by the lap belt portion of a
lap-shoulder belt. Never use a seat belt
extender when installing a child restraint.
Never use non-regulated aftermarket anchors
or attachments to secure a child restraint.
Children can be endangered in a crash if the
child restraint is not properly secured in the
vehicle.

Seats and Restraints 67
When securing an add-on child restraint,
refer to the following:
.Instruction labels provided on the child
restraint
.Instruction manual provided with the
child restraint
.This vehicle owner's manual
The child restraint instructions are
important, so if they are not available,
obtain a replacement copy from the
manufacturer.
Keep in mind that an unsecured child
restraint can move around in a collision or
sudden stop and injure people in the vehicle.
Be sure to properly secure any child
restraint in the vehicle —even when no
child is in it.
In some areas of the United States and
Canada, Certified Child Passenger Safety
Technicians (CPSTs) are available to inspect
and demonstrate how to correctly use and
install child restraints. In the U.S., refer to
the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) website to locate
the nearest child safety seat inspection
station. For CPST availability in Canada,
check with Transport Canada or the
Provincial Ministry of Transportation office.
Securing the Child Within the Child
Restraint
{Warning
A child can be seriously injured or killed
in a crash if the child is not properly
secured in the child restraint. Secure the
child properly following the instructions
that came with that child restraint.
Lower Anchors and Tethers for
Children (LATCH System)
Some child restraints have a LATCH system.
As part of the LATCH system, your child
restraint may have lower attachments
and/or a top tether. The LATCH system can
help hold the child restraint in place during
driving or in a crash. Some vehicles have
lower and/or top tether anchors designed to
secure a child restraint with lower
attachments and/or a top tether.
Some child restraints with a top tether are
designed to be used whether the top tether
is anchored or not. Other child restraints
require that the top tether be anchored.
A national or local law may require that the
top tether be anchored. In Canada, the law requires that
forward-facing child restraints have a top
tether, and that the tether be attached.
Your vehicle does not have lower anchors or
top tether anchors to secure a child restraint
with the LATCH system. If a national or local
law requires that your top tether be
anchored, do not use a child restraint in this
vehicle because a top tether cannot be
properly anchored. You must use the seat
belts to secure your child restraint in this
vehicle, unless a national or local law
requires that the top tether be anchored.
Refer to the child restraint instructions and
instructions in this manual for securing a
child restraint using the vehicle's seat belts.
See
Securing Child Restraints 067.
Securing Child Restraints

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 release pushbutton and the child
restraint. If there is not clearance
between the buckle release pushbutton
and the child restraint, move the seat
upward and repeat prior installation
steps. Otherwise secure the child
restraint in a rear seat.

pretensioners, the airbag modules, the
wiring, and the crash sensing and diagnostic
module. For more information on the airbag
system, seeAirbag System 053.
The airbag readiness light comes on for
several seconds when the vehicle is started.
If the light does not come on then, have it
fixed immediately.
{Warning
If the airbag readiness light stays on
after the vehicle is started or comes on
while driving, it means the airbag system
might not be working properly. The
airbags in the vehicle might not inflate in
a crash, or they could even inflate
without a crash. To help avoid injury,
have the vehicle serviced right away. If there is a problem with the airbag
system, a Driver Information Center (DIC)
message may also come on.
Passenger Airbag Status Indicator
The vehicle has a passenger sensing system.

When the vehicle is started, the passenger
airbag status indicator will light ON and OFF,
or the symbols for on and off, for several seconds as a system check. Then, after
several more seconds, the status indicator
will light either ON or OFF, or the on or off
symbol, to let you know the status of the
front outboard passenger frontal airbag.
If the word ON or the on symbol is lit on
the passenger airbag status indicator, it
means that the front outboard passenger
frontal airbag is allowed to inflate.
If the word OFF or the off symbol is lit on
the airbag status indicator, it means that
the passenger sensing system has turned off
the front outboard passenger frontal airbag.
If, after several seconds, both status
indicator lights remain on, if there are no
lights at all, or if the airbag readiness light
is on, there may be a problem with the
lights or the passenger sensing system. See
your dealer for service right away.
{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
