proper fitment. If you
are using a single
tether, route the tether
in between the
headrest or head
restraint posts.
If the position you are
using has a fixed
headrest or head
restraint and you are
using a single tether,
route the tether
around the inboard or
outboard side of the
headrest or head
restraint.
If the position you are
using has an adjustable
headrest or head
restraint, adjust it
accordingly to allow
proper fitment. If you
are using a dual tether,
route the tether
around the headrest or
head restraint posts.
If the child restraint is
installed next to a
center seat, make sure
the top tether does not
interfere with the
center seating position
shoulder belt/retractor.
If it does, find another
suitable seating
position to install the
child 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.
Replacing LATCH
System Parts After a
Crash
{Warning
A crash can damage the
LATCH system in the
vehicle. A damaged LATCH
system may not properly
secure the child restraint,
resulting in serious injury or
even death in a crash. To
help make sure the LATCH
system is working properly
after a crash, see your

dealer to have the system
inspected and any
necessary replacements
made as soon as possible.
If the vehicle has the LATCH
system and it was being used
during a crash, new LATCH
system parts may be needed.
New parts and repairs may be
necessary even if the LATCH
system was not being used at
the time of the crash.
Securing Child
Restraints (With the
Seat Belt in the
Rear Seat)
When securing a child
restraint with the seat belts in
a rear seat position, study the
instructions that came with
the child restraint to make
sure it is compatible with this
vehicle. If the child restraint has the
LATCH system, see Lower
Anchors and Tethers for
Children (LATCH System)
092
for how and where to install
the child restraint using
LATCH. If a child restraint is
secured in the vehicle using a
seat belt and it uses a top
tether, see Lower Anchors
and Tethers for Children
(LATCH System) 092 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. If the child restraint or vehicle
seat position does not have
the LATCH system, you will be
using the seat belt to secure
the child restraint. Be sure to
follow the instructions that
came with the child restraint.
If more than one child restraint
needs to be installed in the
rear seat, be sure to read

1. Put the child restraint on the seat.
2. Pick up the latch plate and run the lap and shoulder
portions of the vehicle
seat belt through or
around the child restraint.
Ensure the seat belt
webbing is routed as
directly as possible and is
not caught on seat handles
or plastic trim. The child
restraint instructions will
show you how.

3. 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.
There must not be direct
contact of the child
restraint to the push
button.4. 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.5. To tighten the belt, pushdown 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.
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 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) 092.
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 091.
In addition, the vehicle has a
passenger sensing system
which is designed to turn off
the front outboard passenger
frontal airbag under certain
conditions. See Passenger
Sensing System 078 and
Passenger Airbag Status
Indicator 0133 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 frontal airbag, no
system is fail-safe. No one
can guarantee that an
airbag will not deploy under
some unusual circumstance,
even though it is turned off.

Warning (Continued)
Secure rear-facing child
restraints in a rear seat,
even if the airbag is 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
System078 for additional
information.
If the child restraint uses a top
tether, see Lower Anchors
and Tethers for Children
(LATCH System) 092 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,
the OFF indicator on the
passenger airbag status
indicator should light and
stay lit when you start the
vehicle. See Passenger
Airbag Status Indicator

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.

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.

place. To check, grasp the
child restraint at the seat
belt path and attempt to

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 78.
To remove the child restraint,
unbuckle the vehicle seat belt
and let it return to the stowed
position.
