TABLE OF CONTENTS

CHILD RESTRAINTS
• Children 12 years and under should ride properly buckled up in a rear seat, ifavailable. According to crash statistics, children are safer when properly restrained
in the rear seats rather than in the front.
• Every state in the United States and all Canadian provinces require that small children ride in proper restraint systems. This is the law, and you can be
prosecuted for ignoring it.
Integrated Child Booster Seat
• The Integrated Child Booster Seat is located in each outboard second-rowpassenger seat, is designed for children weighing between 48 and 85 lbs (22 and
39 kg) and between 47 in (119 cm) and 57 in (145 cm) tall.
• To position a child into the Integrated Child Booster Seat follow these steps: • Slide the second row seat to the full rear position to use the Integrated ChildBooster Seat.
NOTE: The second row bench with Integrated Child Booster Seat must remain in the
full rear position during use.
• Pull the release loop forward to release the latch and seat cushion. • Grasp the latch plate and pull outthe seat belt.
• Lift the seat cushion up and push back to lock it in the booster seat
position.
• Place the child upright in the seat with their back firmly against the
seatback.
• Grasp the latch plate and pull out the seat belt.
• Slide the latch plate up the webbing as far as necessary to allow the seat
belt to go around the child’s lap.
NOTE: The lap portion of the seat belt
should be low on the hips and as snug as
possible.
• Once the seat belt is long enough tofit properly, insert the latch plate
into the buckle until you hear a
“click.”
• To remove the slack from the lap belt, pull upward on the shoulder portion of the seat belt.

Installing The LATCH - Compatible Child Restraint System
• Your vehicle’s second row passenger seats are equipped with the child restraintanchorage system called LATCH, which stands for Lower Anchors and Tether for
CHildren.
• All three second-row passenger seating positions have lower anchors that are capable of accommodating LATCH-compatible child seats.
• Rigid fixed lower attachments can only be used in the outboard seating positions. Flexible lower attachments can be used in all seating positions.
• When installing a child seat in the center seating position use one lower anchorage from the outboard seating position and the center seat dedicated lower anchorage.
If two child seats are installed in adjacent seating positions you must use the
vehicle seat belt in the center seating position.
• You should NEVERinstall LATCH-compatible child seats so that two seats share a
common lower anchorage.
Installing The Lower Attachments:
• The vehicle lower anchorages are round bars located at the rear of the seat cushion where it meets the seatback.
• Loosen the child seat adjusters on thelower straps and on the tether strap so
that you can more easily attach the
hooks or connectors to the vehicle
anchors.
• Attach the lower hooks or connectors over the top of the seatcover material.
• Tighten all three straps as you push the child restraint rearward and downward
into the seat, removing slack in the
straps according to the child restraint
manufacturer’s instructions.
Installing The Top Tether Strap (With Either Lower Anchors Or Vehicle Seat Belt):
• Attach the tether strap to the anchor directly behind the seat where you are placing the child restraint, being careful to route the tether strap to provide the most direct
path between the anchor and the child restraint, preferably between the head
restraint posts underneath the head restraint.
• Remove all slack and tighten tetherstrap according to child restraint
manufacturer’s instructions.
NOTE: Ensure that the tether strap does
not slip into the opening between the
seatbacks as you remove slack in the strap.

Installing The Child Restraint Using The Vehicle Seat Belts
• To install a child restraint, first, pull enough of the seat belt webbing from theretractor 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.
• Route the tether strap to provide the most direct path for the strap between the anchor and the child seat, preferably between the head restraint posts underneath
the head restraint.
• Attach the tether strap hook of the child restraint to the tether anchor and remove slack in the tether strap according to the child restraint manufacturer's
instructions.
NOTE: Ensure that the tether strap does not slip into the opening between the
seatbacks as you remove slack in the strap.
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 severely injured or killed.
Any child riding in your vehicle should be in a proper restraint for the child's
size.
• Rearward-facing child seats must never be used in the front seat of a vehicle with a front passenger air bag. An air bag deployment could cause severe
injury or death to infants in this position.
• Improper installation of a child restraint to the LATCH anchorages can lead to failure of an infant or child restraint. The child could be severely 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.

WARNING!
• Be certain that the seatback is locked securely into position. Otherwise, theseat will not provide the proper stability for child seats and/or passengers. An
improperly latched seat could cause you and others to be severely injured or
killed.
• Do not allow a passenger to sit in a third row seat without having the head restraint unfolded and locked in place or seatback(s) folded flat. Failure to
follow this warning may result in the passengers being severely injured or
killed in the event of a collision.
• Do not drive the vehicle with the seat in the Tip 'n Slide™ position, as it is only intended for entering and exiting the third row seats. Failure to follow
this warning may result in you and others being severely injured or killed.
• Be certain that the seatback and seat are locked securely into position. Otherwise, the seat will not provide the proper stability for child seats and/or
passengers. An improperly latched seat could cause you or others to be
severely injured or killed.
HEATED SEATS
Front Heated Seats
• The heated seats are operated using the Uconnect Touch™ System.
Uconnect Touch™ 4.3 • Press the Climate hard-key (located onthe left side of the Uconnect Touch™
screen) to enter the climate control
screen.
• Press the Driver or Passenger seat soft-key once to select HI-level
heating. Press the soft-key a second
time to select LO-level heating. Press
the soft-key a third time to shut the
heating elements OFF.
• If the High-level setting is selected, the system will automatically switch to Low-level after approximately 60 minutes. The Low-level setting will turn Off
automatically after approximately 45 minutes.
