If your vehicle does not have a rear seat that will
accommodate a rear-facing child restraint, we
recommend that rear-facing child restraints not be
transported in your vehicle, even if the airbag is off.
If your child restraint has the LATCH system, seeLower
Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH) on page 1-53
for how to install your child restraint using LATCH. If you
secure a child restraint using a safety belt and it uses a
top tether, seeLower Anchors and Tethers for Children
(LATCH) on page 1-53for 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
strap must be anchored.
In Canada, the law requires that forward-facing child
restraints have a top tether, and that the tether be
attached.You will be using the lap-shoulder belt to secure the
child restraint in this position. Follow the instructions that
came with the child restraint.
1. Move the seat as far back as it will go before
securing the forward-facing child restraint.
When the passenger sensing system has turned
off the right front passenger’s frontal airbag
and seat-mounted side impact airbag (if equipped),
the off indicator on the passenger airbag status
indicator should light and stay lit when you start the
vehicle. SeePassenger Airbag Status Indicator
on page 3-38.
2. Put the child restraint on the seat.
3. Pick up the latch plate, and run the lap and shoulder
portions of the vehicle’s safety belt through or
around the restraint. The child restraint instructions
will show you how.

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. If you are using a
forward-facing child restraint, you may nd it
helpful to use your knee to push down on the
child restraint as you tighten the belt.
7. If your vehicle does not have a rear seat and your
child restraint has a top tether, follow the child
restraint manufacturer’s instructions regarding the
use of the top tether. SeeLower Anchors and
Tethers for Children (LATCH) on page 1-53for
more information.
8. Push and pull the child restraint in different
directions to be sure it is secure.If the airbag or 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 on indicator
is lit, turn the vehicle off. Remove the child restraint
from the vehicle and reinstall the child restraint.
If, after reinstalling the child restraint and restarting the
vehicle, the on indicator is still lit, is still not lit, check
to make sure that the vehicle’s seatback is not pressing
the child restraint into the seat cushion. If this happens,
slightly recline the vehicle’s seatback and adjust the
seat cushion if possible. Also make sure the child
restraint is not trapped under the vehicle head restraint.
If this happens, adjust the head restraint.
Remove any additional material from the seat such
as blankets, cushions, seat covers, seat heaters or
seat massagers before reinstalling or securing the
child restraint.
If the off symbol is still not lit, secure the child in the
child restraint in a rear seat position in the vehicle,
if one is available, and check with your dealer/retailer.
To remove the child restraint, unbuckle the vehicle’s
safety belt and let it go back all the way. If the top
tether is attached to a top tether anchor, disconnect it.

5. Rotate the head restraint forward and push it all
the way down.
Just like the other restraint systems in your vehicle,
your built-in child restraint needs to be periodically
checked and may need to have parts replaced after
a crash. SeeChecking the Restraint Systems on
page 1-91andReplacing Restraint System Parts
After a Crash on page 1-92.
