WARNING:
Riding with a reclined seatback in-
creases your chance of serious or fatal
injuries in the event of a collision or
sudden stop. The protection of your
restraint system (seat belts and airbags)
is greatly reduced by reclining your seat.
Seat belts must be snug against your
hips and chest to work properly. The
more the seatback is reclined, the greater
the chance that an occupant's hips will
slide under the lap belt or the occupant's
neck will strike the shoulder belt. Drivers
and passengers should always sit well
back in their seats, properly belted, and
with the seatbacks upright.
B080E01CM-AATHeadrestThe driver's and front passenger's seats
are equipped with a headrest for the
occupant's safety and comfort.
The headrest not only provides comfort for
the driver and front passenger, but also
helps protect the head and neck in the
event of a collision.

WARNING:
The purpose of the folding rear
seatbacks is to allow you to carry longer
objects than could otherwise be
accommodated. Do not allow
passengers to sit on top of the folded
down seatback, while the car is moving
as this is not a proper seating position
and no seat belts are available for use.
This could result in serious injury or
death in case of an accident or sudden
stop. Objects carried on the folded down
seatback should not extend higher than
the top of the front seats. This could allow
cargo to slide forward and cause injury
or damage during sudden stops.
B110A01NF-GATFOLDING REAR SEATBACKSo To unlock the seatback, pull the
seatback release lever, then pull for-
ward on the seatback panel.
o When you return the seatback to its
upright position, always be sure it has
locked into position by pulling and
pushing on the top of the seatback.

WARNING:
B080D02TG-1
o For maximum effectiveness in case
of an accident, the headrest should be
adjusted so the middle of the head-
rest is at the same height of the center
of gravity of an occupant's head. Gen-
erally, the center of gravity of most
people's head is similar with the height
of the top of their eyes. Also, adjust
the headrest as close to your head as
possible. For this reason, the use of a
cushion that holds the body away from
the seatback is not recommended.
o Do not operate vehicle with the head-
rests removed as injury to the occu-
pants may occur in the event of an
accident. Headrests may provide pro-
tection against neck injuries when
properly adjusted.

SEAT BELTSB150B04Y-AATInfant or Small ChildAll 50 states have child restraint laws. You
should be aware of the specific
requirements in your state. Child and/or
infant safety seats must be properly placed
and installed in the rear seat. Information
about the use of these restraints begins on
page 1-27.
!
B150A02S-AATSEAT BELT PRECAUTIONS
WARNING:All occupants of the vehicle must wear
their seat belts at all times. Seat belts
and child restraints reduce the risk of
serious or fatal injuries for all occupants
in the event of a collision or sudden stop.
Without a seat belt, occupants could be
shifted too close to a deploying airbag,
strike the interior structure or be thrown
from the vehicle. Properly worn seat
belts greatly reduce these hazards. Even
with advanced airbags, unbelted
occupants can be severely injured by a
deploying airbag. Always follow the
precautions about seat belts, airbags
and occupant safety contained in this
manual.
!
WARNING:
Every person in your vehicle needs to be
properly restrained at all times, including
infants and children. Never hold a child
in your arms or lap when riding in a
vehicle. The violent forces created
during a crash will tear the child from
your arms and throw the child against
the interior. Always use a child restraint
appropriate for your child's height and
weight, see page 1-27.NOTE:Small children are best protected from
injury in an accident when properly re-
strained in the rear seat by a child
restraint system that meets the
requirements of the Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standards. Before buying
any child restraint system, make sure
that it has a label certifying that it meets
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard
213. The restraint must be appropriate
for your child's height and weight. Check
the label on the child restraint for this
information. See information beginning
on page 1-29.
!
B140A01S-AATREAR SEAT WARNINGFor the safety of all passengers, luggage
or other cargo should not be piled higher
than the top of the seatback. In addition,
do not place objects on the rear shelf as
they may move forward during braking
or in an accident and may strike and
injure vehicle passengers.

is greatly reduced by reclining your seat.
Seat belts must be snug against your

the chance that an occupant's hips will
slide under the lap belt causing serious
internal injuries or the occupant's neck
could strike the shoulder belt. Drivers
and passengers should always sit well
back in their seats, properly belted (see
page 1-25), and with the seatbacks up-
right.

B150E01A-AATInjured PersonA seat belt should be used when an injured
person is being transported. When this is
necessary, you should consult a physician
for recommendations.B150F01A-AATOne Person Per BeltTwo people (including children) should
never attempt to use a single seat belt. This
could increase the severity of injuries in
case of an accident.B150G02A-AATDo Not Lie DownTo reduce the chance of injuries in the
event of an accident and to achieve
maximum effectiveness of the restraint
system, all passengers should be sitting
up and the front seats should be in an
upright position when the car is moving. A
seat belt cannot provide proper protection
if the person is lying down in the rear seat
or if the front seat is in a reclined position.
B150D01A-AATPregnant WomenThe use of a seat belt is recommended for
pregnant women to lessen the chance of
injury in an accident. When a seat belt is
used, the lap belt portion should be placed
as low and snugly as possible on the hips,
not across the abdomen. For specific
recommendations, consult a physician.B150C02A-AATLarger ChildrenChildren who are too large for child restraint
systems should always occupy the rear
seat and use the available lap/shoulder
belts. The lap portion should be fastened
snug on the hips and as low as possible.
Check belt fit periodically. A child's
squirming could put the belt out of position.
Children are afforded the most safety in the
event of an accident when they are
restrained by a proper restraint system in
the rear seat. If a larger child (over age 13)
must be seated in the front seat, the child
should be securely restrained by the
available lap/shoulder belt and the seat
should be placed in the rearmost position.
Children under the age of 13 should be
restrained securely in the rear seat. NEVER
place a child under the age of 13 in the front
seat. NEVER place a rear facing child seat
in the front seat of a vehicle.

CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEMB230A01NF-AATChildren riding in the car should sit in the
rear seat and must always be properly
restrained to minimize the risk of injury in
an accident, sudden stop or sudden
maneuver. According to accident statistics
provided by the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration (NHTSA), children
are safer when properly restrained in the
rear seats than in the front seat. Larger
children not in a child restraint should use
one of the seat belts provided.
All 50 states have child restraint laws. You
should be aware of the specific
requirements in your state. Child and/or
infant safety seats must be properly placed
and installed in the rear seat. You must use
a commercially available child restraint
system that meets the requirements of the
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards
(FMVSS). Child restraint systems are
designed to be secured in vehicle seats by
lap belts or the lap belt portion of a lap/
shoulder belt, or by a tether anchor and/or
LATCH anchors (if installed).
Children could be injured or killed in a
crash if their restraints are not properly
secured. For small children and babies, a
child seat or infant seat must be used.
Before buying a particular child restraint
system, make sure it fits your car seat and
seat belts, and fits your child. Follow all the
instructions provided by the manufacturer
when installing the child restraint system. The seat belt is released by pressing the
release button in the locking buckle. When
it is released, the belt should automatically
draw back into the retractor.
If this does not happen, check the belt to be
sure it is not twisted, then try again.

WARNING:
You should place the lap belt portion as
low as possible and snugly across your
hips, not on your waist. If the lap belt is
located too high on your waist, it may
increase the chance of injury in the event
of a collision. Both arms should not be
under or over the belt. Rather, one should
be over and the other under, as shown in
the illustration.
Never wear the seat belt under the arm
nearest the door.

!For vehicles with adjustable headrests,
route the tether strap under the head-
rest and between the headrest posts,
otherwise route the tether strap over the
top of the seatback.
3. Connect the tether strap hook to the
child restraint hook holder and tighten
to secure the seat.
WARNING:
o A child can be seriously injured or
killed in a collision if the child restraint
is not properly anchored. Always
follow the child seat manufacturer’s
instructions for installation and use.
o Never mount more than one child re-
straint to a single tether or to a single
lower anchorage point. The increased
load caused by multiple seats may
cause the tethers or anchorage points
to break, causing serious injury or
death.
B230D06E-AATSecuring the Child Restraint Seat
with the "Child Seat Lower Anchor"
systemSome child seat manufacturers make safety
seats that are labeled as LATCH or LATCH-
compatible child seats. LATCH stands for
"Lower anchors and Tethers for Children".
These seats include two rigid or webbing
mounted attachments that connect to two
LATCH anchors at specific seating posi-
tions in your vehicle. This type of child seat
eliminates the need to use seat belts to
attach the child seat. LATCH anchors have
been provided in your vehicle. The LATCH
anchors are located in the left and right
outboard rear seating positions. Their loca-
tions are shown in the illustration. There is
no LATCH anchor provided for the center
rear seating position.
B230D01NF
!
WARNING:
o A child can be seriously injured or
killed in a collision if the child restraint
is not properly anchored. Always
follow the child seat manufacturer’s
instructions for installation and use.
o Never install a child restraint using
the LATCH lower anchors at the cen-
ter position of the rear seat. In a
crash, the LATCH lower anchors may
break if a car seat is improperly placed
in the center position resulting in se-
rious or fatal injuries. Only place a
LATCH or LATCH-compatible child
seat in the left or right out-board rear
seating positions (as shown) to the
appropriate LATCH anchors pro-
vided.
o Never mount more than one child
restraint to a single tether or to a
single lower anchorage point. The
increased load caused by multiple
seats may cause the tethers or
anchorage points to break, causing
serious injury or death.

Follow the child seat manufacturer's in-
structions to properly install safety seats
with LATCH or LATCH-compatible attach-
ments.
Once you have installed the LATCH child
restraint seat, assure that the seat is
properly attached to the LATCH and tether
anchors. Also, test the safety seat before
you place the child in it. Tilt the seat from
side to side. Also try to tug the seat forward.
Check to see if the anchors hold the seat
in place.
!
o When using the vehicle’s “LATCH”
system to install a child restraint sys-
tem in the rear seat, all unused ve-
hicle rear seat belt metal latch plates
or tabs must be latched securely in
their seat belt buckles and the seat
belt webbing must be retracted be-
hind the child restraint to prevent the
child from reaching and taking hold of
unretracted seat belts. Unlatched
metal latch plates or tabs may allow
the child to reach the unretracted
seat belts which may result in stran-
gulation and a serious injury or death
to the child in the child restraint.
WARNING:
WARNING:
A child can be seriously injured or killed
in a collision if the child restraint is not
properly anchored to the car and the
child is not properly restrained in the
child restraint. Always follow the child
seat manufacturer’s instructions for
installation and use.
!
CAUTION:
Do not allow the rear seat belt webbing to
get scratched or pinched by the child-
seat latch and LATCH anchor during the
installation.
