Children who have outgrown or no longerproperly fit in a belt-positioning boosterseat (generally children who are at least4 ft. 9 in. (1.45 m) tall or greater than80 lb (36 kg) or 100 lb (45 kg) if recom-mended by child restraint manufacturer).
Larger children

3.While holding the shoulder and lap beltportions together, route the tonguethrough the child seat according to thechild seat manufacturer's instructions.Be sure the belt webbing is not twisted.
4. Insert the belt tongue into the properbuckle (the buckle closest to thedirection the tongue is coming from)for that seating position until you heara snap and feel the latch engage. Makesure the tongue is latched securely bypulling on it.
5. To put the retractor in the automaticlocking mode, grasp the shoulderportion of the belt and pull downwarduntil all of the belt is pulled out.
Note:The automatic locking mode isavailable on the front passenger and rearseats. This vehicle does not require the useof a locking clip.
6. Allow the belt to retract to removeslack. The belt will click as it retractsto indicate it is in the automatic lockingmode.
7. Try to pull the belt out of the retractorto make sure the retractor is in theautomatic locking mode (you shouldnot be able to pull more belt out). If theretractor is not locked, unbuckle thebelt and repeat Steps 5 and 6.

8.Remove remaining slack from the belt.Force the seat down with extra weight,for example, by pressing down orkneeling on the child restraint whilepulling up on the shoulder belt in orderto force slack from the belt. This isnecessary to remove the remainingslack that will exist once the extraweight of the child is added to the childrestraint. It also helps to achieve theproper snugness of the child seat toyour vehicle. Sometimes, a slight leantoward the buckle will help to removeremaining slack from the belt.
9.Attach the tether strap (if the child seatis equipped).
10. Before placing the child in the seat,forcibly move the seat forward andback to make sure the seat is securelyheld in place.
To check this, grab the seat at the belt pathand attempt to move it side to side andforward and back. There should be nomore than 1 in (2.5 cm) of movement forproper installation.
We recommend checking with a NHTSACertified Child Passenger SafetyTechnician to make certain the childrestraint is properly installed. In Canada,check with Transport Canada for referralto a Child Car Seat Clinic.
Using Lower Anchors and Tethersfor CHildren (LATCH)
WARNING
Never attach two child safety seatsto the same anchor. In a crash, oneanchor may not be strong enough tohold two child safety seat attachmentsand may break, causing serious injury ordeath.
The LATCH system is composed of threevehicle anchor points: two lower anchorslocated where the vehicle seatback andseat cushion meet (called the seat bight)and one top tether anchor located behindthat seating position.
LATCH compatible child safety seats havetwo rigid or webbing mountedattachments that connect to the two loweranchors at the LATCH equipped seatingpositions in your vehicle. This type ofattachment method eliminates the needto use seatbelts to attach the child seat,however the seatbelt can still be used toattach the child seat if the lower anchorsare not used. For forward-facing childseats, the top tether strap must also beattached to the proper top tether anchor,if a top tether strap has been provided withyour child seat. We recommend the use ofa child safety seat having a top tetherstrap. See Using Tether Straps in thischapter.
Your vehicle has LATCH lower anchors forchild seat installation at the seatingpositions marked with the child seatsymbol.

The LATCH anchors are at the rear sectionof the rear seat between the cushion andseatback, below the locator symbols onthe seatback. Follow the child seatmanufacturer’s instructions to properlyinstall a child seat with LATCHattachments.
The locator symbols are on round plasticbuttons for the center seat and onrectangular tags for the outboard seats.
Follow the instructions on attaching childsafety seats with tether straps. See UsingTether Straps in this chapter.
Attach LATCH lower attachments of thechild seat only to the anchors shown.
Each time you use the safety seat, checkthat the seat is properly attached to thelower anchors and tether anchor, ifapplicable. Tug the child seat from side toside and forward and back where it issecured to the vehicle. The seat shouldmove less than one inch when you do thisfor a proper installation.
If the safety seat is not anchored properly,the risk of a child being injured in a crashgreatly increases.
Combining Seatbelt and LATCHLower Anchors for Attaching ChildSafety Seats
When used in combination, either theseatbelt or the LATCH lower anchors maybe attached first, provided a properinstallation is achieved. Attach the tetherstrap afterward, if included with the childseat.
Using Tether Straps
Many forward-facing child safety seatsinclude a tether strap which extends fromthe back of the child safety seat and hooksto an anchoring point called the top tetheranchor. Tether straps are available as anaccessory for many older safety seats.Contact the manufacturer of your childseat for information about ordering atether strap, or to obtain a longer tetherstrap if the tether strap on your safety seatdoes not reach the appropriate top tetheranchor in the vehicle.

Some of the rear seats of your vehicle areequipped with built-in tether strap anchorslocated behind the seats as describedbelow.
In the third row center seating position, thetether anchor is a loop at the bottom ofthe seatback.
The tether strap anchors in your vehicleare in the following positions (shown fromtop view).
Second row bench seat
Second row bucket seats
Attach the tether strap only to theappropriate tether anchor as shown. Thetether strap may not work properly ifattached somewhere other than thecorrect tether anchor.
Once the child safety seat has beeninstalled using either the seatbelt, thelower anchors of the LATCH system, orboth, you can attach the top tether strap.
If you install a child seat with rigid LATCHattachments, do not tighten the tetherstrap enough to lift the child seat off thevehicle seat cushion when the child isseated in it. Keep the tether strap just snugwithout lifting the front of the child seat.Keeping the child seat just touching thevehicle seat gives the best protection in asevere crash.
Perform the following steps to install achild safety seat with tether anchors:
Second row outboard seating positions
Second row center seating position (ifequipped)

3.Clip the tether strap through the anchorloop as shown. If the tether strap isclipped incorrectly, the child safetyseat may not be retained properly inthe event of a crash.
4. Tighten the child safety seat tetherstrap according to the manufacturer’sinstructions. If the safety seat is notanchored properly, the risk of a childbeing injured in a crash greatlyincreases.
If your child restraint system is equippedwith a tether strap, and the child restraintmanufacturer recommends its use, we alsorecommend its use.
BOOSTER SEATS
WARNING
Never place, or allow a child to place,the shoulder belt under a child's armor behind the back because itreduces the protection for the upper partof the body and may increase the risk ofinjury or death in a crash.
Note:Some booster seat safety belt guidesmay not accommodate the shoulder portionof the inflatable safety belt.
Use a belt-positioning booster seat forchildren who have outgrown or no longerproperly fit in a child safety seat (generallychildren who are less than 4 feet 9 inches(1.45 meters) tall, are greater than age four(4) and less than age twelve (12), andbetween 40 pounds (18 kilograms) and80 pounds (36 kilograms) and upward to100 pounds (45 kilograms) ifrecommended by your child restraintmanufacturer). Many state and provinciallaws require that children use approvedbooster seats until they reach age eight, aheight of 4 feet 9 inches (1.45 meters) tall,or 80 pounds (36 kilograms).
Booster seats should be used until you cananswer YES to ALL of these questionswhen seated without a booster seat:
