Replacing LATCH System
Parts After a Crash
{Warning
A crash can damage the LATCH
system in the vehicle. A damaged
LATCH system may not properly
secure the child restraint,
resulting in serious injury or even
death in a crash. To help make
sure the LATCH system is
working properly after a crash,
see your dealer to have the
system inspected and any
necessary replacements made as
soon as possible.
If the vehicle has the LATCH system
and it was being used during a
crash, new LATCH system parts
may be needed.
New parts and repairs may be
necessary even if the LATCH
system was not being used at the
time of the crash.
Securing Child Restraints
(Rear Seat)
When securing a child restraint in a
rear seating position, study the
instructions that came with your
child restraint to make sure it is
compatible with this vehicle.
If your child restraint has the LATCH
system, see Lower Anchors and
Tethers for Children (LATCH
System) on page 3-38 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, see Lower
Anchors and Tethers for Children
(LATCH System) on page 3-38 for
top tether anchor locations.
Do not secure a child restraint 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.

front outboard passenger seat.
The passenger could be seriously
injured or killed in a sudden stop
or crash.
A booster seat may be used in the
left rear seating position if the base
of the booster seat fits on the seat
cushion and does not extend past
the front edge of the seat cushion.
If the booster seat extends past the
front of the seat cushion, it should
be used in the right rear seating
position with the seat cushion
extension.
When using the lap-shoulder belt to
secure the child restraint in this
position, follow the instructions that
came with the child restraint and the
following instructions:
1. Always install the seat cushion extension in the right rear seat
position when installing a
forward-facing or rear-facing child restraint. Also use the seat
cushion extension for booster
seats that extend past the front
edge of the seat cushion.
2. Press the button on the
passenger side headrest and
pull up.
3. Insert the headrest posts intothe holes on the front of the
passenger side seat cushion to
install the seat cushion
extension. The notch on the post
should face the passenger side
of the vehicle. Try to move the
headrest to make sure it is
locked in place.
4. Put the child restraint on the seat.
When installing a rear-facing
child restraint, move the front
seat all the way forward and tilt
the seatback forward to properly

installed, there should be no
more than 2.5 cm (1 in) of

Securing Child Restraints
(Front Passenger Seat)
This vehicle has airbags. A rear
seat is a safer place to secure a
forward-facing child restraint. See
Where to Put the Restraint on
page 3-36.
In addition, the vehicle has a
passenger sensing system which is
designed to turn off the front
outboard passenger's frontal airbag
under certain conditions. See
Passenger Sensing System on
page 3-23 andPassenger Airbag
Status Indicator on page 5-17 for
more information, including
important safety information.
Never put a rear-facing child seat in
the front. This is because the risk to
the rear-facing child is so great,
if the airbag deploys.

manufacturer recommends using
a top tether anchor, attach the
top tether to the top tether
anchor. Refer to the instructions
that came with the child restraint
and to Lower Anchors and
Tethers for Children (LATCH
System) on page 3-38.
