OIt is extremely dangerous to ride in a
cargo area inside of a vehicle. In a
collision, people riding in these ar-
eas are more likely to be seriously
injured or killed.
ODo not allow people to ride in any
area of your vehicle that is not
equipped with seats and seat belts.
Be sure everyone in your vehicle is
in a seat and using a seat belt prop-
erly. Never ride in the rear seat un-
less the seat bottom cushions are in
place and latched.
OProperly secure all cargo to help
prevent it from sliding or shifting. Do
not place cargo higher than the seat-
backs. In a sudden stop or collision,
unsecured cargo could cause per-
sonal injury.
OWhen returning the seatbacks to the
upright position, be certain they are
completely secured in the latched
position. If they are not completely
secured in the latched position, pas-
sengers may be injured in an acci-
dent or sudden stop.

PRECAUTIONS ON SUPPLE-
MENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM
This supplemental restraint system section
contains important information concerning
the driver and passenger supplemental air
bags. The supplemental restraint system air
bags can help reduce impact force to the
driver and front passenger in certain frontal
collisions. The supplemental air bags are
designed tosupplementthe crash protec-
tion provided by the driver and front passen-
ger seat belts and arenot a substitutefor
them. Seat belts should always be correctly
worn and the driver and front passenger
seated a suitable distance away from the
steering wheel and instrument panel. See
``Seat belts'' for instructions and precautions
on seat belt usage later in this section.
The supplemental air bags operate only
when the ignition switch is in the ON or
START position.
After turning the ignition key to the ON
position, the supplemental air bag warn-
ing light illuminates. The supplemental
air bag warning light will turn off after
about 7 seconds if the system is opera-
tional.

WARNING
OAttach LATCH system compatible
child restraints only at the locations
shown. If a child restraint is not se-
cured properly, your child could be
seriously injured or killed in an acci-
dent.
ODo not secure a child restraint in the
center rear seating position using
the LATCH system anchors. The
child restraint will not be secured
properly.OThe LATCH system anchors are de-
signed to withstand only those loads
imposed by correctly fitted child re-
straints. Under no circumstance are
they to be used for adult seat belts or
harnesses.
Some child restraints include two rigid or
webbing-mounted attachments that can be
connected to two anchors located at certain
seating positions in your vehicle. This sys-
tem is known as the LATCH (Lower Anchors
and Tether for Children) system. This sys-
tem may also be referred to as the ISOFIX
or ISOFIX compatible system. With this
system, you do not have to use a vehicle
seat belt to secure the child restraint. Your
vehicle is equipped with special anchor
points that are used with LATCH system
compatible child restraints. Check your child
restraint for a label stating that it is compat-
ible with the LATCH system. This informa-
tion may also be in the child restraint own-
er's manual. If you have such a child
restraint, refer to the illustration for the rear
seating positions equipped with LATCH sys-
tem anchors which can be used to secure
the child restraint.

TOP TETHER STRAP CHILD RE-
STRAINT
This vehicle is equipped with 3 anchor
brackets in the rear cargo area for attaching
child restraint top tether straps.
If your child restraint has a top tether strap,
secure the child restraint with the two-point
(center) or three-point seat belt and latch
the top strap hook onto the appropriate
anchor bracket. Make sure the shoulder belt
is placed between the seat back and child
restraint.
For the rear outboard seating positions,
place the top tether strap over the seat back
as shown in the illustration.For the rear center seating position, place
the top tether strap through the split be-
tween the rear seat back cushion as shown
in the illustration. Position the tether as low
as possible in the split before tightening the
top tether strap. Do not place the top tether
strap over the seat back to the side of the
split when installing a child restraint in the
center rear position. In that position the top
tether strap may not stay in place and not
keep the child restraint secure in a crash.
WARNING
In the center position the top tether
strap must be correctly placed betweenthe split in the rear seat back cushions.
If the child restraint top tether strap is
not secured properly, your child could
be seriously injured or killed in an ac-
cident.
Secure the top strap to the attaching
bracket that provides the straightest instal-
lation of the strap. Tighten the strap accord-
ing to manufacturer instructions to remove
any slack.
WARNING
Child restraint anchor points are de-
signed to withstand only those loads
imposed by correctly fitted child re-
straints. Under no circumstances is it
to be used for adult seat belts or har-
nesses.WRS0102WRS0115
