Overview
Transporting children safely
Commercially available child seats 
complying with the legal standard are 
designed to be secured with a lap belt 
or with the lap belt portion of a combi-
nation lap/shoulder belt. 
Improperly or inadequately installed 
restraint systems can increase the risk 
of injury to children. Always read and 
follow the instructions that come with 
the system.
If you use a child restraint system with a 
tether strap, three additional tether 
anchorage points (refer to the arrows in 
the illustration) have been provided. 
Depending on the location selected for 
seating in the rear passenger area, 
attach the tether strap to the corre-
sponding anchorage point to secure the 
child restraint system. Remove the 
cover first on the middle location.

If the respective seating position is 
fitted with a headrest, lift the headrest 
and pass the tether strap between the 
headrest and the seat back.
Adjust the tether strap according to the 
child restraint manufacturer's instruc-
tions.
Before installing any child restraint 
device or child seat, please read 
the following:
Never install a rear-facing child restraint 
system in the front passenger seat of 
this vehicle.
Your vehicle is equipped with an airbag 
supplemental restraint system for the 
front passenger. Because the backrest 
on any rear-facing child restraint system 
(of the kind designed for infants under 
1 year and 20 lbs./9 kg) would be within 
the airbag's deployment range, you 
should never mount such a device in 
the front passenger seat, since the 
impact of the airbag against the child 
restraint's backrest could lead to 
serious or fatal injuries.
If it is necessary for a child (not an 
infant) to ride in the front seat, certain 
precautions should be taken. First, 
move the passenger seat as far away 
from the dashboard as possible. This 
important precaution is intended to 
maximize the distance between the 
airbag and the child. Older children 
should be tightly secured with the 
safety belt. Younger children should be 
secured in an appropriate forward-
facing child restraint system that has 
first been properly secured with a safety 
belt.
Never install a rear-facing child restraint 
system in the front passenger seat.
We strongly urge you to carefully read 
and comply with the instructions for 
installation and use provided by the 
child restraint's manufacturer when-
ever you use such a device.
Be sure that all occupants (of all ages) 
remain properly and securely restrained 
at all times.
c
All rear seating positions in your vehicle 
meet the recommendations of SAE 
J1819, an industry recommended prac-
tice for securing child restraint systems 
in motor vehicles.
