while driving, remove and store the comfort guide in its pocket when it is
not in use.

CAUTION
nWhen installing a child restraint system
lSplit rear seats: When installing a child restraint system in the rear center
seat, adjust both seat cushions to the same position and align seatbacks
at the same angle. The seatbacks must be adjusted to the same angle.
Otherwise, the child restraint system cannot be securely restrained and
this may cause death or serious injuries in a collision.
l Split rear seats: When using the LATCH anchors for a child restraint sys-
tem, move the seat as far back as possible and adjust the seatback as
upright as possible.
l When a booster seat is installed, always ensure that the shoulder belt is
positioned across the center of the child's shoulder. The belt should be
kept away from the child's neck, but not so that it could fall off the child's
shoulder. Failing to do so may result in death or serious injury in the event
of an accident or sudden braking.
l Ensure that the belt and tab are securely locked and the seat belt is not
twisted.
l Push and pull the child restraint system from side to side and forward to be
sure it is secure.
l After securing a child restraint system, never adjust the seat.
l Follow all installation instructions provided by the child restraint system
manufacturer.
l Split rear seats: When a child restraint system with a top tether strap is
installed, do not install the head restraint. The head restraint may interfere
with the top tether strap preventing secure installation of the child restraint
system.
l Split rear seats: Make sure to properly store the removed head restraint in
a secure place when you use the child restraint system on the rear seats.
