This vehicle is equipped with a Supplemental Driver Knee Air Bag mounted in the instrument
panel below the steering column. The Supplemental Driver Knee Air Bag provides enhanced
protection during a frontal impact by working together with the seat belts, pretensioners, and
Advanced Front Air Bags.

CHILD RESTRAINTS
Children 12 years or younger should ride properly buckled up in a rear seat, if available. According
to crash statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seats rather than in the
front.
Every state in the United States and all Canadian provinces require that small children ride in
proper restraint systems. This is the law, and you can be prosecuted for ignoring it.
NOTE:
• For additional information, refer to www.Seatcheck.org or call 1-866-SEATCHECK.
• Canadian residents should refer to Transport Canada’s website for additional information:

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).
Locating The LATCH Lower Anchorages
The lower anchorages are round bars that are found at the rear of the seat cushion where it
meets the seatback. They are just visible when you lean into the rear seat to install the child
restraint. You will easily feel them if you run your finger along the gap between the seatback and
seat cushion.
Lower Anchorages
GETTING STARTED
21

Locating The Tether Anchorages
In addition, there are tether strap anchors located behind each rear seatback, near to the
floor.
Center Seat LATCH
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.
Installing The Child Restraint
Using The LATCH Lower Anchors
NOTE:
Never“share” a LATCH anchorage with two or
more child restraints.
1. Loosen the adjusters on the lower straps and
on the tether strap of the child seat so that you can more easily attach the hooks or connectors
to the vehicle anchorages.
2. Attach the lower hooks or connectors of the child restraint to the lower anchorages in the
selected seating position.
3. If the child restraint has a tether strap, connect it to the top tether anchorage. See below for
directions to attach a tether anchor.
4. Tighten all of the straps as you push the child restraint rearward and downward into the seat.
Remove slack in the straps according to the child restraint manufacturer’s instructions.
5. 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.
Installing The Child Restraint Using The Vehicle Seat Belts
Except for the center position in the third row, all of the seat belts in the passenger seating
positions are equipped with a Switchable Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR). The third row
center position is equipped with a cinching latch plate. Both types of seat belts are designed to
keep the lap portion of the seat belt tight around the child restraint. Any seat belt system will
loosen with time, so check the belt occasionally, and pull it tight if necessary.
Te t h e r A n c h o r a g e W e i g h t L i m i t
Always use the tether anchor when using the seat belt to install a forward facing child restraint, up
to the recommended weight limit of the child restraint.
Tether Anchorages

22

To I n s t a l l A C h i l d S e a t U s i n g A n A L R :
1. 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.
2. Slide the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a “click.”
3. Pull on the webbing to make the lap portion tight against the child seat.
4. 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.
5. 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 is not locked, repeat the last step.
6. Finally, pull up on any extra webbing to tighten the lap portion around the child restraint while
you push the child restraint rearward and downward into the vehicle seat.
7. 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 below for
directions to attach a tether anchor.
8. 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.
To I n s t a l l A C h i l d S e a t U s i n g A C i n c h i n g L a t c h P l a t e :
1. Place the child seat in the center of the seating position.
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.”
4. 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.
5. 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 below for
directions to attach a tether anchor.
6. 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.
Installing 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.

Third Row Seats
Third Row Power Recliner
The power recline feature, located on the side of the seat cushion, adjusts the seatback angle
forward/rearward for occupant comfort.
Third Row Power Seat Switch
NOTE:
Disconnect the center shoulder belt from the
small buckle and lower the head restraints be-
fore attempting to fold/stow the power third
row seats.
A one-touch power folding seat switch is located
in the left rear trim panel as part of a switch bank.
Left and right third row seats can be folded
individually or together. The third row power
folding seats adjust to multiple positions.
The switch is only functional when the liftgate is
open and the vehicle is in PARK.
To abort seat operation while the seat is in
motion, press a different seat position selector
switch to stop the seat. Once the seat stops moving, then the desired position can be selected.
The third row power seat system includes obstacle detection for safe operation. When the system
detects an obstacle, the motors will stop and reverse the motion a short distance to move the seat
away from the obstacle. Should this occur, remove the obstacle and press the button again for the
desired position.
Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for manual third row seat folding instructions.
