70 Seats and Restraints
Child Restraints
Older Children
Older children who have outgrown booster
seats should wear the vehicle’s seat belts.
Refer toHow to Wear Seat Belts Properly
0 53.
The manufacturer instructions that come
with the booster seat state the weight and
height limitations for that booster. Use a
booster seat with a lap-shoulder belt until
the child passes the fit test below:
.Sit all the way back on the seat. Do the
knees bend at the seat edge? If yes,
continue. If no, return to the booster seat.
.Buckle the lap-shoulder belt. Does the
shoulder belt rest on the shoulder? If yes,
continue. If no, try using the rear seat
belt comfort guide, if available. See “Rear
Seat Belt Comfort Guides” under
Lap-Shoulder Belt 055. If a comfort guide
is not available, or if the shoulder belt
still does not rest on the shoulder, then
return to the booster seat.
.Does the lap belt fit low and snug on the
hips, touching the thighs? If yes, continue.
If no, return to the booster seat.
.Can proper seat belt fit be maintained for
the length of the trip? If yes, continue.
If no, return to the booster seat.
Q: What is the proper way to wear seat belts?
A: An older child should wear a lap-shoulder
belt and get the additional restraint a
shoulder belt can provide. The shoulder
belt should not cross the face or neck.
The lap belt should fit snugly below the
hips, just touching the top of the thighs.
This applies belt force to the child's
pelvic bones in a crash. It should never
be worn over the abdomen, which could
cause severe or even fatal internal
injuries in a crash. Also see
“Rear Seat Belt Comfort Guides”
under Lap-Shoulder Belt 055.
According to accident statistics, children are
safer when properly restrained in a rear
seating position.
In a crash, children who are not buckled up
can strike other people who are buckled up,
or can be thrown out of the vehicle. Older
children need to use seat belts properly.
{Warning
Never allow more than one child to wear
the same seat belt. The seat belt cannot
properly spread the impact forces. In a
crash, they can be crushed together and
seriously injured. A seat belt must be
used by only one person at a time.

If the child restraint manufacturer
recommends that the top tether be
attached, adjust the top tether to its full
length and attach it to the anchor. Refer
to the child restraint instructions and the
following steps:
1.1. Find the top tether anchor.
1.2. Route, attach, and tighten the top tether according to your child
restraint instructions and the
following instructions: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.
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 single tether, route the
tether in between the headrest or
head restraint posts.
2. Make sure the child restraint top tether hook is completely closed and secured to
the top tether anchor.
3. Secure the child restraint in the right front seating position with the vehicle
belts. See Securing Child Restraints (With
the Seat Belt in the Center Front Seat)
0 92 or
Securing Child Restraints (With the Seat
Belt in the Rear Seat) 086 or
Securing Child Restraints (With the Seat
Belt in the Front Passenger Seat) 090.
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 belt 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.
Double and Crew Cab Models 1. 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

ESBZA Detection Zones
1. SBZA Detection Zone
2. ESBZA Detection Zone
3. LCA Detection Zone
The Side Blind Zone Alert (SBZA) warning
area starts at approximately the middle of
the vehicle and goes back 5 m (16 ft). The
Extended Side Blind Zone Alert (ESBZA)
warning area starts at approximately 3 m
(10 ft) to the trailing edge of the vehicle and
goes back up to 21 m (69 ft) behind the
vehicle. The maximum trailer length is
12 m (39 ft).
How the System Works
The LCA/ESBZA symbol lights up in the side
mirrors when the system detects a moving
vehicle in the next lane over that is in the
extended side blind zone. This indicates it
may be unsafe to change lanes. Beforemaking a lane change, check the SBZA
display, check mirrors, glance over your
shoulder, and use the turn signals.
Left Side Mirror
DisplayRight Side Mirror Display
When the vehicle is started, both outside
mirror LCA/ESBZA displays will briefly come
on to indicate the system is operating.
When the vehicle is in a forward gear, the
left- or right-side mirror display will light up
if a moving vehicle is detected in that blind
zone. If the turn signal is activated in the
same direction as a detected vehicle, this
display will flash as an extra warning not to
change lanes.
LCA/ESBZA displays may not come on when
passing a vehicle quickly, or when passing a
stopped vehicle. LCA/ESBZA may alert to
objects attached to the vehicle, such as a
bicycle, or object extending out to either side of the vehicle or trailer. This is normal
system operation; the vehicle does not need
service.
LCA/ESBZA can be disabled through vehicle
settings. To view available settings from the
infotainment screen, touch Settings >
Vehicle > Collision/Detection Systems.
If SBZA is disabled by the driver, the ESBZA
mirror displays will not light up.When the System Does Not Seem to
Work Properly
LCA/ESBZA displays may not come on when
passing a vehicle quickly, or when passing a
stopped vehicle. The LCA/ESBZA detection
zones that extend back from the side of the
vehicle do not move further back when a
trailer is towed. Use caution while changing
lanes when towing a trailer. LCA/ESBZA may
alert to objects attached to the vehicle, such
as a trailer, bicycle, or object extending out
to either side of the vehicle or trailer. This is
normal system operation; the vehicle does
not need service.
LCA/ESBZA may not always alert the driver
to vehicles in the side blind zone, especially
in wet conditions. The system does not need
to be serviced. The system may light up due

learning process must be repeated when the
trailer tires are rotated or replaced.
Tool Method: A TTPMS activation tool can
be purchased separately to learn the sensor
locations.
Manual Method: Without the tool, the air
pressure can be increased or decreased in
each tire for 10 seconds. Do not exceed the
