Child seat lower anchorsSome child seat manufacturers
make child restraint seats that are
labeled as International Standards
Organization Fixed (ISOFIX) or
ISOFIX-compatible child restraint
seats. These seats include two rigid
or webbing mounted attachments
that connect to two ISOFIX anchors
at specific seating positions in your
vehicle. This type of child restraint
seat eliminates the need to use seat
belts to attach the child seat in the
rear seats. There is a symbol located on the
lower portion of each side of the rear
seatbacks. These symbols indicate
the position of the lower anchors for
child restraints so equipped.

WARNING
When using the vehicle's
"ISOFIX" system to install a
child restraint system in the rear
seat, all unused vehicle 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 behind 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 strangula-
tion and a serious injury or
death to the child in the child
restraint.

Knowing your vehicle
ISOFIX anchors have been provided
in your vehicle. The ISOFIX anchors
are located in the left and right out-
board rear seating positions. Their
locations are shown in the illustra-
tion. There is no ISOFIX anchor pro-
vided for the center rear seating
position.
The ISOFIX anchors are located
between the seatback and the seat
cushion of the rear seat left and right
outboard seating positions. Follow
the child seat manufacturer’s instruc-
tions to properly install child restraint
seats with ISOFIX or ISOFIX-com-
patible attachments. Once you have installed the ISOFIX
child restraint, assure that the seat is
properly attached to the ISOFIX and
tether anchors. Also, test the child
restraint 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.
WARNING
If the child restraint is not
anchored properly, the risk of a
child being seriously injured or
killed in a collision greatly
increases.

WARNING
 Do not mount more than one
child restraint to a single teth-
er or to a child restraint lower
anchorage point. The improp-
er increased load may cause
the anchorage points or tether
anchor to break, causing seri-
ous injury or death.
(Continued)
(Continued)
 Do not install a child restraintseat at the rear center seating
position using the vehicle’s
ISOFIX anchors. The ISOFIX
anchors are only provided for
the left and right outboard rear
seating positions. Do not mis-
use the ISOFIX anchors by
attempting to attach a child
restraint seat in the middle
rear seating position to the
ISOFIX anchors. In a crash,
the child restraint seat ISOFIX
attachments may not be
strong enough to secure the
child restraint seat improperly
in the rear center seating posi-
tion and may break, causing
serious injury or death.
 Attach the ISOFIX or ISOFIX- compatible child restraint seat
only to the appropriate loca-
tions shown in the illustration.
 Always follow the installation and use instructions provided
by the manufacturer of the
child restraint.
