TABLE OF CONTENTS

SEAT BELT
• Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat belt properly.
WARNING!
In a collision, you and your passengers can suffer much greater injuries if you are
not properly buckled up. You can strike the interior of your vehicle or other
passengers, or you can be thrown out of the vehicle. Always be sure you and
others in your vehicle are buckled up properly.
CHILD RESTRAINTS
• Every state in the United States and all Canadian provinces require that smallchildren ride in proper restraint systems. This is the law, and you can be prosecuted
for ignoring it.
WARNING!
In a collision, an unrestrained child, even a tiny baby, can become a projectile
inside the vehicle. The force required to hold even an infant on your lap could
become so great that you could not hold the child, no matter how strong you are.
The child and others could be badly injured. Any child riding in your vehicle should
be in a proper restraint for the child’s size.
Installing The LATCH - Compatible Child Restraint System
• Your vehicle’s second row passenger seatsare equipped with the child restraint
anchorage system called LATCH, which
stands for Lower Anchors and Tether for
CHildren. LATCH child restraint anchorage
systems are installed at all three rear
seating positions.
• All three rear seating positions can accommodate LATCH-compatible child
seats having flexible, webbing-mounted
lower attachments.
• Child seats with fixed lower attachments must be installed in the outboard positions only.
• NEVER install LATCH-compatible child seats such that two seats share a common
lower anchorage.
• Loosen the adjusters on the lower straps and tether straps so that you can attach the hook or connector to the lower and tether anchorages more easily.
• Attach the lower hooks or connectors over the top of the seatcover material.

GETTING STARTED

• The tether strap should be routed under the center of the head restraint andattached to the tether anchor on the rear of the seatback.
• Tighten all three straps as you push the child restraint rearward and downward into the seat.
WARNING!
• Improper installation of a child restraint to the LATCH anchorages can lead tofailure of an infant or child restraint. The child could be badly injured or killed.
Follow the manufacturer’s directions exactly when installing an infant or child
restraint.
• An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to increased head motion and possible injury to the child. Use only the anchor positions directly behind the
child seat to secure a child restraint top tether strap.
Installing The Child Restraint Using The Vehicle Seat Belts
• To install a child restraint, first, pull enoughof the seat belt webbing from the retractor
to route it through the belt path of the
child restraint and slide the latch plate into
the buckle.
• Next, extract all the seat belt webbing out of the retractor and then allow the belt to retract into the retractor. Finally, pull on any excess webbing to tighten the lap
portion around the child restraint. Any seat belt system will loosen with time, so
check the belt occasionally and pull it tight if necessary.
• Once you have completed securing the child restraint with the seat belt, secure the top tether strap. The tether strap should be routed under the center of the head
restraint.
WARNING!
Rearward-facing child seats must NEVERbe used in the front seat of a vehicle
with a front passenger airbag. An airbag deployment could cause severe injury or
death to infants in this position.

Six-Way Power Seats
• The power seat switch is located on theoutboard side of the seat near the floor.
Use the switch to move the seat up, down,
forward, rearward, or to tilt the seat.
CAUTION!
DO NOT place any article under a power seat or impede its ability to move as it
may cause damage to the seat controls. Seat travel may become limited if
movement is stopped by an obstruction in the seat’s path.
Heated Seats
• The controls for the front heated seats arelocated on the center instrument panel
area.
• Press the switch once to select High-level heating. Press the switch a second time to
select Low-level heating. Press the switch a
third time to shut the heating elements
Off.
WARNING!
• Persons who are unable to feel pain to the skin because of advanced age,chronic illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury, medication, alcohol use, exhaustion
or other physical conditions must exercise care when using the seat heater. It
may cause burns even at low temperatures, especially if used for long periods of
time.
• Do not place anything on the seat that insulates against heat, such as a blanket or cushion. This may cause the seat heater to overheat. Sitting in a seat that has
been overheated could cause serious burns due to the increased surface
temperature of the seat.
