WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use and installation of child
restraints could result in serious injury or
death of a child or other passengers in a
sudden stop or collision:
• Attach LATCH system compatible child
restraints only at the locations shown in
the illustration.
• Do not secure a child restraint in the 2nd
row center position and 2nd row driver’s
side seating position at the same time.
• Inspect the lower anchors by inserting
your fingers into the lower anchor area.
Feel to make sure there are no obstruc-
tions over the anchors such as seat belt
webbing or seat cushion material. The
child restraint will not be secured prop-
erly if the lower anchors are obstructed. •
Child restraint anchorages are designed
to withstand only those loads imposed
by correctly fitted child restraints. Under
no circumstances are they to be used to
attach adult seat belts, or other items or
equipment to the vehicle. Doing so could
damage the child restraint anchorages.
The child restraint will not be properly
installed using the damaged anchorages,
and a child could be seriously injured or
killed in a collision.

LATCH in the center 2nd row
seating position (if so equipped)
A 5th LATCH anchor can be found between
the outboard LATCH anchor pairs. It is spe-
cifically designed to be used together with
the inboard LATCH anchor on the driver’s
side, in order to install a Child Restraint Sys-
tem (CRS) in the 2nd row center seating po-
sition. Do not use the 5th LATCH anchor in
combination with an anchor other than the
driver’s side inboard LATCH anchor.
These anchors utilize standard LATCH an-
chor spacing,
OAof 11.02 in (280 mm).
WARNING
• Never attach two CRS attachments to
the same LATCH anchor. This may over-
load the anchor in a collision, which could
increase the risk of the occupant’s seri-
ous injury or death.
• When installing the CRS in the center
2nd row seating position with the in-
board LATCH anchors, be careful to en-
sure any occupant or CRS in the out-
board seating positions is properly
restrained using the vehicle seat belt and
there is no interference with the center
CRS installation. If the outboard occu-
pants cannot be properly restrained,
consider using the vehicle seat belt to
restrain the CRS in the center seating
position, or moving the CRS to another
position instead.

lision. A child could be seriously injured or
killed in a collision if the top tether strap
is damaged.
• Child restraint anchorages are designed
to withstand only those loads imposed
by correctly fitted child restraints. Under
no circumstances are they to be used to
attach adult seat belts, or other items or
equipment to the vehicle. Doing so could
damage the child restraint anchorages.
The child restraint will not be properly
installed using the damaged anchorages,

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 collision 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 be-
hind 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 labelcertifying that it complies with Federal Mo-
tor Vehicle Safety Standard 213 or Cana-
dian 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. • Make sure the child’s head will be properly
supported 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 recommended
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 vehicle is be-
ing operated.
The instructions in this section apply to
booster seat installation in the rear seats or
the front passenger seat.
Booster seat installation
WARNING
To avoid injury to child, do not use the lap/
shoulder belt in the Automatic Locking Re-
tractor (ALR) mode when using a booster
seat with the seat belts.
For additional information, see “Child safety”
(P. 1-25), “Child restraints” (P. 1-28) and
“Booster seats” (P. 1-51) before installing a
child restraint.
Follow these steps to install a booster seat in
the 2nd or 3rd rows or in the front passenger
seat:

5. Pull the shoulder belt portion of the seatbelt toward the retractor to take up extra
slack. Be sure the shoulder belt is posi-
tioned across the top, middle portion 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. 1-21). 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. 1-65).
