90 Seats and Restraints
If the retractor is not
locked, repeat
Steps 4 and 5.
6. If the child restraint has a top tether, follow the child
restraint manufacturer's
instructions regarding the
use of the top tether. See
Lower Anchors and
Tethers for Children
(LATCH System) 080.
7. Before placing a child in the child restraint, make
sure it is securely held in
place. To check, grasp the
child restraint at the seat
belt path and attempt to
move it side to side and
back and forth. When the
child restraint is properly
installed, there should be
no more than 2.5 cm (1 in)
of movement.
To remove the child restraint,
unbuckle the vehicle seat belt
and let it return to the stowed
position. If the top tether is
attached to a top tether
anchor, disconnect it.Securing Child
Restraints (With the
Seat Belt in the
Front Seat)
This vehicle has airbags.
A rear seat is a safer place to
secure a forward-facing child
restraint. See Where to Put
the Restraint 079.
In addition, the vehicle has a
passenger sensing system
which is designed to turn off
the front outboard passenger
frontal airbag and knee airbag
under certain conditions. See
Passenger Sensing System
0 66 and
Passenger Airbag Status
Indicator 0117 for more
information, including
important safety information.
Never put a rear-facing child
seat in the front. This is
because the risk to the
rear-facing child is so great if
the airbag deploys.
{Warning
A child in a rear-facing child
restraint can be seriously
injured or killed if the front
outboard passenger frontal
airbag inflates. This is
because the back of the
rear-facing child restraint
would be very close to the
inflating airbag. A child in a
forward-facing child
restraint can be seriously
injured or killed if the front
outboard passenger frontal
airbag inflates and the
passenger seat is in a
forward position.
Even if the passenger
sensing system has turned
off the front outboard
passenger airbag(s), no
system is fail-safe. No one
can guarantee that an
airbag will not deploy under

Warning (Continued)
some unusual circumstance,
even though the airbag(s)
are off.
Secure rear-facing child
restraints in a rear seat,
even if the airbag(s) are off.
If you secure a
forward-facing child
restraint in the front
outboard passenger seat,
always move the seat as far
back as it will go. It is better
to secure the child restraint
in a rear seat.
See Passenger Sensing
System066 for additional
information.
If the child restraint uses a top
tether, see Lower Anchors
and Tethers for Children
(LATCH System) 080 for top
tether anchor locations.
Do not secure a child seat in a
position without a top tether
anchor if a national or local law requires that the top tether be
anchored, or if the instructions
that come with the child
restraint say that the top
tether must be anchored.
In Canada, the law requires
that forward-facing child
restraints have a top tether,
and that the tether be
attached.
When using the lap-shoulder
belt to secure the child
restraint in this position, follow
the instructions that came
with the child restraint and the
following instructions:
1. Move the seat as far back as it will go before
securing the
forward-facing child
restraint. Move the seat
upward or the seatback to
an upright position,
if needed, to get a tight
installation of the child
restraint. There must be
finger clearance between
the push button and the
child restraint. When the passenger
sensing system has turned
off the front outboard
passenger frontal airbag
and knee airbag, the OFF
indicator on the passenger
airbag status indicator
should light and stay lit
when you start the vehicle.
See Passenger Airbag
Status Indicator
0117.
2. Put the child restraint on the seat.
3. Pick up the latch plate and run the lap and shoulder
portions of the vehicle
seat belt through or
around the restraint.
Ensure the seat belt
webbing is routed as direct
as possible and is not
caught on seat handles or
plastic trim. The child
restraint instructions will
show you how.

4. Push the latch plate intothe buckle until it clicks.
Position the release button
on the buckle, away from
the child restraint, so that
the seat belt could be
quickly unbuckled if
necessary.5. Pull the shoulder belt allthe way out of the
retractor to set the lock.
When the retractor lock is
set, the belt can be
tightened but not pulled
out of the retractor.
It may be necessary to
slide the adjustable stop
along the webbing toward
the outboard anchor to
fully tighten the seat belt
around the child restraint.
While a child restraint is
installed, the adjustable
stop should be positioned
on the portion of the webbing that does not
interact with the child
restraint.
6. To tighten the belt, push
down on the child restraint,
pull the shoulder portion 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
push button and the child
restraint. If there is not
clearance between the
buckle push button and the
child restraint, move the

seat upward and repeat
prior installation steps.
Otherwise secure the child
restraint in a rear seat.
When installing a
forward-facing child
restraint, it may be helpful
to use your knee to push
down on the child restraint
as you tighten the belt.
Try to pull the belt out of
the retractor to make sure
the retractor is locked.
If the retractor is not
locked, repeat
Steps 5 and 6.
7. Before placing a child in the child restraint, make
sure it is securely held in
place. To check, grasp the
child restraint at the seat
belt path and attempt to
move it side to side and
back and forth. When the
child restraint is properly
installed, there should be
no more than 2.5 cm (1 in)
of movement. If the airbags are off, the OFF
indicator in the passenger
airbag status indicator will
come on and stay on when the
vehicle is started.
If a child restraint has been
installed and the ON indicator
is lit, see
“If the On Indicator Is
Lit for a Child Restraint” under
Passenger Sensing System
0 66.
To remove the child restraint,
unbuckle the vehicle seat belt
and let it return to the stowed
position.
