Child Restraint: Description and Operation

CAUTION: A child in a rear-facing child restraint can be seriously injured if the right-front passengers air bag inflates. This is because the back of a rear-facing child restraint would be very close to the inflating air bag. NEVER use a rear-facing child restraint in this vehicle. If a forward-facing child restraint is suitable for your child, ALWAYS move the front passenger seat as far back as it will go and then install the child restraint. Be sure the child restraint position does not conflict with any additional requirements provided by the manufacture. For more information, refer to the vehicle owners manual and the instruction that came with the child restraint.

The child seat may only be used in a forward facing seating location. The child seat should be installed and secured according to the manufacturer's directions.




The vehicle is equipped with a upper child seat anchor bracket (2) for each rear seat position. The upper brackets (2) are located behind the rear seat back cushion, on the filler panel (3) under the tether anchor covers (1).




The vehicle is also equipped with a lower child seat anchor bracket (3) for each rear seat position. The lower brackets (3) are located below the rear seat back cushion (1), behind the rear seat cushion (2).

IMPORTANT: It will be necessary to raise the rear head restraint and install the child seat top strap beneath it, when utilizing either the left, center or right upper anchor bracket.




If the child seat has a top strap (2) it must be anchored to one of the upper anchor brackets (1). If the child seat has a bottom strap it must be anchored to one of the lower anchor brackets.

Passengers should not be allowed to sit at locations where the seat belts are being used to secure the child seat.

All vehicles are equipped with a dual-mode type retractor with emergency and automatic locking features. The automatic locking feature is for restraint of a child seat. The child seat can be secured by pulling the seat belt all the way out to lock it. Then, tighten the seat belt around the child seat.
