A child seat with a tether can be
installed in any seating position in
the back seat, using one of the
anchorage points shown above.
Since a tether can provide additional
security to the lap/shoulder belt
installation, we recommend using a
tether whenever one is required or
available.Unlock the seat-back from inside
the trunk by pulling the release
(see page ), then f old it
f orward slightly to make a space
between the rear window and the
head restraint.
Remove the head restraint (see
page ). Make sure the removed
head restraint is stored in the
trunk. Reinstall the head restraint
when the child seat is removed.Lock the seat-back upright by
pushing it f irmly against the trunk
panel.
Af ter properly securing the child
seat (see page ), route the
tether strap over the seat-back.

If you decide that a child can saf ely
ride up f ront, be sure to:Caref ully read the owner’s manual,
and make sure you understand all
seat belt instructions and all saf ety
inf ormation.
Move the vehicle seat to the rear-
most position.
Have the child sit up straight, back
against the seat, and feet on or
near the f loor.
Check that the child’s seat belt is
properly and securely positioned.
Supervise the child. Even mature
children sometimes need to be
reminded to f asten the seat belts
or sit properly. This could result
in serious neck injuries during a
crash.
This could
cause very serious injuries during
a crash. It also increases the
chance that the child will slide
under the belt in a crash and be
injured.
If they do, they
could be very seriously injured in a
crash. Devices intended to
improve a child’s comf ort or
reposition the shoulder part of a
seat belt can make the belt less
ef f ective and increase the chance
of serious injury in a crash.
Additional Saf ety Precautions
Do not let a child wear a seat belt
across t he neck.
Do not let a child put the shoulderpart of a seat belt behind t he backor under t he arm.
T wo children should never use t hesame seat belt . Do not put any accessories on a
seat belt .
