Child restraint systems specifically designed for infants and small children are offered byseveral manufacturers
. Choose only a child
restraint system with a label certifying that it complies with Federal Motor Vehicle SafetyStandard 213 (FMVSS 213) or Motor Vehicle Restraint Systems and Booster Seats Safety Regulations (RSSR). Look for the manufac-turer’s statement of compliance on the box and child restraint system itself. The child restraint system should be appropri- ate for your child’s we
ight and height, and
should properly fit you
r vehicle’s seat.
For detailed information,
refer to the instruc-
tion manual accompanying the child restraint system. All children should be
properly restrained in
a restraint device that
offers the maximum
protection for their size and age. Be sure to check local, state, or provincial requirements for child size and age that mayvary from the recommendations listed below.
 Children less than 1 year old and who weigh 22 pounds (10 kg) or less MUSTride in a rear-facing ch
ild safety seat that
MUST ONLY be used in the second row seat. Children older than 1 year of age and who weigh less than 40 pounds (18 kg) or who are less than 40 inches (100 cm) tall mustbe in a forward-facing restraint used only in the rear seat.  Children who weigh more than 40 pounds (18 kg) or who are more than 40 inches (100 cm) tall, regardless of age, shoulduse a suitable child seat or a booster seat in the rear seat until the vehicle’s lap-and- shoulder belt fits
them properly.
Guidelines for child restraint system selection
WA R N I N G All children must be seated in the rear seat, and properly restrained. Accident statistics
show that children of
all sizes and ages are safer when properly restrained in the rear seat, rather than in the front seat. Be sure to select a child restraint system that is appropriate not only for the child’ssize and age but also for your vehicle. Some child restraint systems may not fit your vehicle properly.
 Any child who is too large to use a child restraint system should ride in the rearseat and wear the la
p-and-shoulder belt
properly. The shoulder belt must be posi- tioned over the shou
lder and across the
chest, not across their neck, and with thelap belt positioned low on the child’s hips, not across their stomach. If necessary, a booster seat should be used to help achievea proper seat belt fi
t. Follow the booster
seat manufacturer’s instructions. Only use a booster seat that is certified as comply-ing with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards or Motor Vehicle Restraint Sys- tems and Booster Seats Safety Regula-tions. WA R N I N G

The outboard seating pos
itions in the second
row seat of your vehi
cle are equipped with
lower anchors for attaching child restraint systems compatible with the LATCH system.
 When installing a child restraint system, follow the instructions provided by themanufacturer and follow the directions inthis manual. Failure to do so can result in serious injury or deat
h to your child in an
accident or
sudden stop.
After installation, push
and pull the child
restraint system back and forth, and sideto side, to see that it is firmly secured. If the child restraint system is not installed securely, it may cause injury to the childor other occupants in
the event of an acci-
dent or sudden stop. When not in use, keep your child restraint system secured with the seat belt, or remove it from the vehi
cle, in order to pre-
vent it from being
thrown around inside
the vehicle during an accident.WA R N I N G
NOTE
 Before purchasing a child restraint system, try installing it in the rear seat to ensureproper fit. Due to the location of the seat beltbuckles and the shape of the seat cushion, it may be difficult to
securely install some
manufacturer’s child restraint systems.If the child restraint system can be pulled forward or to either side easily on the seat cushion after the seat be
lt has been tightened,
choose another ma
nufacturer’s child restraint
system. Depending on the seating position in thevehicle and the child restraint system that you have, the child restraint system can be attached using one of the following 2 meth-ods: • Attach to the lower anchorage in the second row seat ONLY if the child restraint system is compatible with the LATCH system (See page 4-28). • Attach to the seat
belt (See page 4-30).

With the exception of the driver, the seat belt in all other seating po
sitions can be converted
from normal Emergency Locking Retractor(ELR) mode, to Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) mode. This mean
s that when you pull
the seat belt fully out of the retractor, the retractor will switch to its ALR child restraint installation function.
Always use the ALR
child restraint instal
lation function when you
install a child restraint system using the seat belt.Children 12 years old and under should always be restrained in the rear seat, when- ever possible, although the front passengerseat belt can also be
converted to ALR mode.

NOTE
 In order to secure a child restraint system compatible with the LATCH system, use thelower anchor points in the outboard positions of the second row seat.
It is not necessary to
use the vehicle’s seat
belt. The vehicle’s seat
belt, however, MUST be
used to secure a
child restraint system in the middle seating position of the second row seat.WA R N I N G If there is any foreign material in or around the lower anchors, remove it before installing the child restraint sys- tem. Also, make sure the seat belt is awayfrom, not looped through or otherwise interfering with, the child restraint sys- tem. If foreign matter is not removedand/or the seat belt
interferes with the
child restraint system, the child restraint system will not be secured properly, coulddetach and move forward in the event of sudden braking or an
accident, and could
result in injury to the child or other vehi-cle occupants. When the vehicle is
moving, do not adjust
the seat where the child restraint system isinstalled.
NOTE
 If it is difficult to
latch the tether strap hook,
turn the hook sideways.WA R N I N G Child restraint system tether anchors are designed only to with
stand loads from cor-
rectly fitted child restraint systems. Underno circumstances are they to be used for adult seat belts, harnesses, for attaching other items, or equipment to the vehicle.

1. Place the child restraint system on the seat where you wish to install it. To help assure proper fitting of the child restraint system, alwa
ys remove the head
restraint. When installing the front-facing child restraint system on the second row seat,adjust the angle of the second row seat- back to the most upright position. 2. Route the seat belt through the childrestraint system acco
rding to the instruc-
tions provided by the child restraint sys- tem’s manufacturer. Then insert the seatbelt latch plate into
the buckle. Make sure
you hear a “click” when you insert the latch plate into the buckle.
3. To activate the ALR child restraint instal- lation function, slowly pull the shoulderpart of the belt all the way out of the retractor until it stops. Then let the belt feed back into the retractor. 4. After the belt has retracted, tug on it.
If the belt is in the ALR function, you will not be able to pull it out. If the webbingcan be pulled out from retractor, the ALR function has not been activated and you will need to repeat steps 3 and 4.5. After confirming that the belt is locked, grab the shoulder part of the belt near the buckle and pull up to remove any slackfrom the lap part of the belt allowing the slack to feed into the retractor. Remember, if the lap belt portion is not tight, the child restraint system
will not be secure. It may
help to put your weight on the childrestraint system and/or push on its seat- back while pulling up on the belt (See illustration).
WA R N I N G When you install a child restraint system using the seat belt, al
ways make sure the
retractor has been switched to the ALRchild restraint installation function. The ALR function will keep the child restraint system tightly secured to the seat.Failure to convert the retractor to the ALR function may allow the child restraint system to move forward duringsudden braking
or an accide
nt, resulting
in serious injury or
death to the child or
other occupants.
Installation
If your child restraint system requires the use of a tether strap, fasten the tether strap inaccordance with the following procedures.
