{ WarningThe seat belt can be pinched if it
is routed under plastic trim on the
seat, such as trim around the rear
seatback folding handle or side
airbag. In a crash, pinched seat
belts might not be able to provide
adequate protection. Never allow
seat belts to be routed under
plastic trim pieces.
Lap-Shoulder Belt All seating positions in the vehicle
have a lap-shoulder belt.
If you are using a rear seating
position with a detachable seat belt
and the seat belt is not attached,
see Third Row Seats 0 51 for
instructions on reconnecting the
seat belt to the mini-buckle.
The following instructions explain
how to wear a lap-shoulder belt
properly. 1. Adjust the seat, if the seat is
adjustable, so you can sit up
straight. To see how, see
“ Seats ” in the Index.
2. Pick up the latch plate and pull
the belt across you. Do not let
it get twisted.
The lap-shoulder belt may lock
if you pull the belt across you
very quickly. If this happens, let
the belt go back slightly to
unlock it. Then pull the belt
across you more slowly. If the shoulder portion of a
passenger belt is pulled out all
the way, the child restraint
locking feature may be
engaged. See Child Restraint
Systems 0 78 . If this occurs, let
the belt go back all the way
and start again. If the locking
feature stays engaged after
letting the belt go back to
stowed position on the seat,
move the seat rearward or
recline the seat until the
shoulder belt retractor lock
releases.
Engaging the child restraint
locking feature in the front
outboard seating position may
affect the passenger sensing
system. See Passenger
Sensing System 0 68 .

attachments rub against the
vehicle ’ s seat belts. This may
damage these parts. If necessary,
move buckled seat belts to avoid
rubbing the LATCH attachments.
Do not fold the rear seatback
when the seat is occupied. Do not
fold the empty rear seat with a
seat belt buckled. This could
damage the seat belt or the seat.
Unbuckle and return the seat belt
to its stowed position, before
folding the seat.
This vehicle is equipped with a front
center airbag in the inboard side of
the driver seat. Even with a front
center airbag, a child restraint can
be installed in any second row
seating position. If a child restraint is
installed in a second row center
seat, move the second row seat to
the rearward position, whenever
possible, to minimize contact with
the front center airbag. If you need to secure more than one
child restraint in the rear seat, see
Where to Put the Restraint 0 80 .
1. Put the child restraint on the
seat. If the head restraint
interferes with the proper
installation of the child
restraint, the head restraint
may be removed. See "Head
Restraint Removal and
Reinstallation" at the end of
this section.
2. Attach and tighten the lower
attachments to the lower
anchors. If the child restraint
does not have lower
attachments or the desired
seating position does not have
lower anchors, secure the child
restraint with the top tether and
the seat belt. Refer to your
child restraint manufacturer
instructions and the
instructions in this manual.
2.1. Find the lower anchors
for the desired seating
position. 2.2. To access the lower
anchors in the second
row, it may help to recline
the seatback.
Third row seatbacks must
be upright before placing
the child restraint on
the seat.
2.3. Put the child restraint on
the seat.
2.4. Attach and tighten the
lower attachments on the
child restraint to the lower
anchors.
If necessary, adjust the
angle of the second row
seatback to achieve a
tight installation. Make
sure the second row
bench seatbacks are
aligned at the same
angle.
3. If the child restraint
manufacturer recommends that
the top tether be attached,
attach and tighten the top
tether to the top tether anchor,

If the position you are
using has a fixed head
restraint and you are
using a single tether,
route the tether under the
head restraint and in
between the head
restraint posts or around
the outboard side of the
head restraint. If the position you are
using has a fixed head
restraint and you are
using a dual tether, route
the tether around the
head restraint.
4. Before placing a child in the
child restraint, make sure it is
securely held in place. To
check, grasp the child restraint
at the LATCH path and attempt
to move it side to side and
back and forth. There should
be no more than 2.5 cm (1 in) of
movement, for proper
installation. Head Restraint Removal and
Reinstallation The second row outboard head
restraints can be removed if they
interfere with the proper installation
of the child restraint.

things, like suitcases,
inside the vehicle so that
some of them are above
the tops of the seats..
Do not leave an
unsecured child restraint
in the vehicle..
Secure loose items in the
vehicle..
Do not leave a seat

Operating New Vehicle Break-In CautionThe vehicle does not need an
elaborate break-in. But it will
perform better in the long run if
you follow these guidelines:
.
Do not drive at any one
constant speed, fast or slow,
for the first 800 km (500 mi).
Do not make full-throttle
starts. Avoid downshifting to
brake or slow the vehicle.
.
Avoid making hard stops for
the first 300 km (200 mi) or
so. During this time the new
brake linings are not yet
broken in. Hard stops with
new linings can mean
premature wear and earlier
replacement. Follow this
(Continued) Caution (Continued) breaking-in guideline every
time you get new brake
linings.
Following break-in, engine speed
and load can be gradually
increased.
