How To Stow An Unused ALR Seat Belt
When using the LATCH attaching system to install a child
restraint, stow all ALR seat belts that are not being used by
other occupants or being used to secure child restraints. An
unused belt could injure a child if they play with it and
accidentally lock the seat belt retractor. Before installing a
child restraint using the LATCH system, buckle the seat belt
behind the child restraint and out of the child’s reach. If the
buckled seat belt interferes with the child restraint installa-
tion, instead of buckling it behind the child restraint, route
the seat belt through the child restraint belt path and then
buckle it. Do not lock the seat belt. Remind all children in
the vehicle that the seat belts are not toys and that they
should not play with them.
WARNING!
•Improper installation of a child restraint to the
LATCH anchorages can lead to failure of the restraint.
The child could be badly injured or killed. Follow the
child restraint manufacturer ’s directions exactly when
installing an infant or child restraint.
•Child restraint anchorages are designed to withstand
only those loads imposed by correctly-fitted child
restraints. Under no circumstances are they to be used
for adult seat belts, harnesses, or for attaching other
items or equipment to the vehicle.
Installing Child Restraints Using The Vehicle Seat
Belt
The seat belts in the passenger seating positions are
equipped with either a Switchable Automatic Locking Re-
tractor (ALR) or a cinching latch plate or both. Both types of
seat belts are designed to keep the lap portion of the seat belt
tight around the child restraint so that it is not necessary to
use a locking clip.
The ALR retractor can be “switched” into a locked mode by
pulling all of the webbing out of the retractor and then letting
the webbing retract back into the retractor. If it is locked, the
ALR will make a clicking noise while the webbing is pulled
back into the retractor. For additional information on ALR,
refer to the section “Seat Belt Systems in Your Vehicle.” The
cinching latch plate is designed to hold the lap portion of the
seat belt tight when webbing is pulled tight and straight
through a child restraint’s belt path.
When installing a forward-facing child restraint, always use
the tether anchor up to the maximum weight allowed. See
the section “LATCH and Tethers in Your Vehicle” for more
information about LATCH weight limits.
Installing A Child Restraint With A Switchable
Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) — If Equipped
1. Place the child seat in the center of the seating position.
For some second row seats, you may need to recline the
seat and/or raise the head restraint to get a better fit. If
the rear seat can be moved forward and rearward in thevehicle, you may wish to move it to its rear-most position
to make room for the child seat. You may also move the
front seat forward to allow more room for the child seat.
2. Pull enough of the seat belt webbing from the retractor to
pass it through the belt path of the child restraint. Do not
twist the belt webbing in the belt path.
3.
Slide the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a “click.”
4. Pull on the webbing to make the lap portion tight against
the child seat.
5. To lock the seat belt, pull down on the shoulder part of
the belt until you have pulled all the seat belt webbing
out of the retractor. Then, allow the webbing to retract
back into the retractor. As the webbing retracts, you will
hear a clicking sound. This means the seat belt is now in
the Automatic Locking mode.
6. Try to pull the webbing out of the retractor. If it is locked,
you should not be able to pull out any webbing. If the
retractor isnotlocked, repeat step 5.
7.
Finally, pull up on any excess webbing to tighten the lap
portion around the child restraint while you push the child
restraint rearward and downward into the vehicle seat.
8. If the child restraint has a top tether strap and the seating
position has a top tether anchorage, connect the tether
strap to the anchorage and tighten the tether strap. See
the section “LATCH and Tethers in Your Vehicle” for
directions to attach a tether anchor.
9. Test that the child restraint is installed tightly by pulling
back and forth on the child seat at the belt path. It should
not move more than 1 inch (25.4 mm) in any direction.
Any seat belt system will loosen with time, so check the belt
occasionally, and pull it tight if necessary.
WARNING!
Do not use the Automatic Locking Mode to restrain
occupants who are wearing the seat belt or children who
are using booster seats. The locked mode is only used to
install rear-facing or forward-facing child restraints that
have a harness for restraining the child.
Installing A Child Restraint With A Cinching Latch
Plate (CINCH) — If Equipped
1. Place the child seat in the center of the seating position.
For some second row seats, you may need to recline the
seat and/or raise the head restraint to get a better fit. If
the rear seat can be moved forward and rearward in the
vehicle, you may wish to move it to its rear-most position
to make room for the child seat. You may also move the
front seat forward to allow more room for the child seat.
2. Next, pull enough of the seat belt webbing from the
retractor to pass it through the belt path of the child
restraint. Do not twist the belt webbing in the belt path.
3. Slide the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a
“click.”
6 INSTALLING CHILD RESTRAINTS

Operating Instructions For Built-In (Integrated) Child
Restraint — If Equipped
Refer to the picture below to become familiar with the parts
of the child seat and five-point seat belts. This child restraint
system conforms to U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard 213 and Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard
No. 213.4.
It is important to use an approved rear-facing infant re-
straint for a full year to allow the neck and spine to develop
enough to support the weight of the child’s head in the
event of a collision.
WARNING!
Failure to follow these instructions can result in your
child striking the vehicle’s interior during a sudden
stop or crash. Snugly adjust the belts provided with the
child restraint around your child.
Who Should Use This Child Seat:
Children 10-23 kg (22-50 pounds).
This integrated child seat is designed for use only by
children who weigh between 10 and 23 kg (22 and 50
pounds) and whose shoulders are not above the shoulder
belt slot position and who are capable of sitting upright
alone (Figure 2).
Who Should Use Adult Seat And Belts:
Children over 23 kg (50 pounds) and adults.
Children over 23 kg (50 pounds) should find that the adult
seat when used with the adult belts equipped with adjust-
able upper anchorages provide a safe and comfortable fit
(Figure 3).
To Open The Child Restraint:
Grasp the upper portion (leg rest pad) (Figure 4) and lower
the child seat cushion.
WARNING!
Do not use this cushion as a booster chair with adult
seat belts. Serious or fatal injury to the child could
result in the event of an accident.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR BUILT-IN (INTEGRATED) CHILD RESTRAINT — IF EQUIPPED 9

To Secure The Child:
1. Before placing the child in the seat, add slack to the
shoulder belts. Release the seat belts by pulling up on the
shoulder belt adjustment strap located at the top of the
seat, then pull on the seat belts (Figure 5).
WARNING!
Whenever a child is using the integrated child seat, be
sure that the head restraint is installed in the fully
lowered position or personal injury may result in the
event of an accident.
2. Place the child into the child seat and put a shoulder belt
over each shoulder. Insert both seat belt latch plates into
the buckle and pull up on them to make sure they are
firmly latched (Figure 6).
NOTE:Be sure that the seat belt buckle is free of foreign
objects that may prevent you from properly latching the
latch plates. If an object is in the opening, and cannot be
removed, see your dealer for service immediately.
3. Fasten the two halves of the shoulder belt clip together
and put it 5-8 cm (2-3 inches) below the child’s chin. The
purpose of the clip is to keep the shoulder belts posi-
tioned correctly on the shoulders (Figure 7).4. Pull the shoulder belt adjustment strap firmly until the
shoulder belts are tight against the child’s shoulders. You
should not be able to put more than two fingers between
the shoulder belts and the child’s chest (Figure 8).
A ratcheting sound should be heard as the excess belt
material returns to the retractor and belts become secure
around the child.
NOTE:Once properly adjusted there is no need to release
the seat belts until a change in clothing or height or weight
occurs.
WARNING!
•A frayed or torn child restraint belt could rip apart in
a collision and leave your child with no protection.
Inspect the belt system periodically, checking for cuts,
frays, or loose parts. Damaged parts must be replaced
immediately.
•Do not disassemble or modify the system.
•Child restraint belt systems must be replaced after a
collision if they have been damaged (bent buckle or
5-point connector, torn webbing, etc.). Similarly, the
child restraint-equipped bench or bucket seat must be
replaced after a collision if it is damaged (bent or
broken seat frame, etc.).

Frequently Asked Questions About LATCH
What is the weight limit (child’s weight + weight of
the child restraint) for using the LATCH anchorage
system to attach the child restraint?65
poundsUse the LATCH anchorage system until the com-
bined weight of the child and the child restraint is
65 lbs (29.5 kg). Use the seat belt and tether anchor
instead of the LATCH system once the combined
weight is more than 65 lbs (29.5 kg).
Can the LATCH anchorages and the seat belt be
used together to attach a rear-facing or forward-
facing child restraint?No Do not use the seat belt when you use the LATCH
anchorage system to attach a rear-facing or forward-
facing child restraint.
Can two child restraints be attached using a common
lower LATCH anchorage?No Never “share” a LATCH anchorage with two or
more child restraints. If the center position does not
have dedicated LATCH lower anchorages, use the
seat belt to install a child seat in the center position
next to a child seat using the LATCH anchorages in
an outboard position.
Can the rear-facing child restraint touch the back of
the front passenger seat?Yes The child seat may touch the back of the front pas-
senger seat if the child restraint manufacturer also
allows contact. See your child restraint Owner ’s
Manual for more information.
Can the head restraints be removed? Yes All adjustable head restraints may be removed.
Center Seat LATCH
To install a child restraint in the center position using the
LATCH anchorages, attach the lower hooks or connectors
on the child restraint to the two inner bars in the row. If
LATCH is used for the center seating position, do not use
the lower anchorages in the outboard positions.
If a child restraint installed in the center position blocks the
seat belt webbing or buckle for the outboard position, do not
use that outboard position. If a child seat in the center
position blocks the outboard LATCH anchors or seat belt, do
not install a child seat in that outboard position.
WARNING!
Never use the same lower anchorage to attach more than
one child restraint. Please refer to “Installing The
LATCH-Compatible Child Restraint System” for typical
installation instructions.
Connecting The Top Tether Strap (With Either Lower
Anchors Or Vehicle Seat Belt)
When installing a forward-facing child restraint, always
secure the top tether strap, up to the tether anchor weight
limit, whether the child restraint is installed with the lower
anchors or the vehicle seat belt.
1. Look behind the seating position where you plan to
install the child restraint to find the tether anchorage. You
may need to move the seat forward to provide better
access to the tether anchorage. If there is no top tether
anchorage for that seating position, move the child
restraint to another position in the vehicle if one is
available.
2. Route the tether strap to provide the most direct path for
the strap between the anchor and the child seat. If your
vehicle is equipped with adjustable rear head restraints,
raise the head restraint, and where possible, route the
tether strap under the head restraint and between the two
posts. If not possible, lower the head restraint and pass
the tether strap around the outboard side of the head
restraint.
