INSTALLING CHILD
RESTRAINTS
Child Restraints
Use a child restraint, sometimes called aninfant carrier, convertible seat, or toddlerseat, for infants, toddlers, or childrenweighing 40 lb (18 kg) or less (generallyage four or younger).
Using Seatbelts
WARNING: Do not place arearward facing child restraint in front ofan active airbag. Failure to follow thisinstruction could result in personal injuryor death.
WARNING: Properly securechildren 12 years old and under in a rearseating position whenever possible. Ifyou are unable to properly secure allchildren in a rear seating position,properly secure the largest child on thefront seat. If you must use a forwardfacing child restraint on the front seat,move the seat as far back as possible.Failure to follow these instructions couldresult in personal injury or death.
WARNING: Depending on whereyou secure a child restraint, anddepending on the child restraint design,you may block access to certain seatbeltbuckle assemblies and LATCH loweranchors, rendering those featurespotentially unusable. To avoid risk ofinjury, make sure occupants only useseating positions where they are able tobe properly restrained.
When installing a child restraint withseatbelts:
•Use the correct seatbelt buckle for thatseating position.
•Insert the belt tongue into the properbuckle until the latch engages. Makesure the tongue is securely fastened inthe buckle.
•Keep the buckle release buttonpointing up and away from the childrestraint, with the tongue between thechild restraint and the release button,to prevent accidental unbuckling.
•Place the vehicle seat in the uprightposition before you install the childrestraint.
•This vehicle does not require the useof a locking clip.
Perform the following steps wheninstalling the child restraint with seatbelts:
Note:Although the child restraintillustrated is a forward facing child restraint,the steps are the same for installing a rearfacing child restraint.

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 exists once you add the extraweight of the child to the child restraint.It also helps to achieve the propersnugness of the child restraint to yourvehicle. Sometimes, a slight leantoward the buckle helps to removeremaining slack from the belt.
9.If the child restraint has a tether strap,attach it.
10.Before placing the child in the seat,forcibly move the seat forward andback to make sure the seat is securelyheld in place.

•Two lower anchors where the vehicleseat backrest and seat cushion meet,called the seat bight.
•One top tether anchor behind thatseating position.
Your vehicle does not have the loweranchor points in the seat bight. For thisvehicle, use the vehicle seatbelt and uppertether to secure a child restraint.

FASTENING THE SEATBELTS
The front outboard and rear safetyrestraints in the vehicle are combinationlap and shoulder belts.

2.To unfasten, press the release buttonand remove the tongue from thebuckle.
Using the Seatbelt with CinchTongue (Front Center and RearCenter Seats Only)
The cinch tongue slides up and down thebelt webbing when the belt is stowed orwhile putting seatbelts on. When the lapand shoulder seatbelt is buckled, the cinchtongue allows the lap portion to beshortened, but pinches the webbing tokeep the lap portion from getting longer.The cinch tongue is designed to slip duringa crash, so always wear the shoulder beltproperly and do not allow any slack ineither the lap or shoulder portions.
Before you can reach and latch a lap andshoulder belt having a cinch tongue intothe buckle, you may have to lengthen thelap belt portion of it.
1.To lengthen the lap belt, pull somewebbing out of the shoulder beltretractor.
2.While holding the webbing below thetongue, grasp the tip (metal portion)of the tongue so that it is parallel to thewebbing and slide the tongue upward.
3.Provide enough lap belt length so thatthe tongue can reach the buckle.
