Adjust the tether strap according to the 
child-restraint manufacturer's instructions.
Before installing any child-restraint 
system or child seat, please read the 
following: 
Never install a rearward-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 
rearward-facing child-restraint system – of 
the kind designed for infants under 1 year 
and 20 Ibs. (9 kg) – would be within the 
airbag's deployment range, you should 
never mount such a system 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 instrument panel 
as possible. This important precaution is 
intended to maximize the distance 
between the airbag and the child. Older 
children should be tightly secured with a 
safety belt, after they have outgrown a 
booster seat that is appropriate for their 
age, height and weight. Younger children 
should be secured in an appropriate for-
ward-facing child-restraint system that has 
first been properly secured with a safety 
belt. Never install a rearward-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 whenever you use such a 
system. 
Be sure that all occupants – of all ages – 
remain properly and securely restrained at 
all times. If your vehicle is equipped with 
electric power seats at the rear, these will 
need to be returned to their standard 
adjustment setting position before a child-
restraint system is used, refer to page 
Always press the safety switch for the 
power windows before transporting chil-
dren in the rear seats, refer to page 
. This 
switch also disables the power rear seat 
adjustment. Incorrect or unsupervised 
adjustment of the electric power seats 
could lead to injuries or damage to the 
child-restraint system(s) installed in the 
rear.
All rear seating positions in your vehicle 
meet the recommendations of SAE J1819, 
an industry-recommended practice for 
securing child-restraint systems in motor 
vehicles. 
Child seat security 
All of the rear belt retractors and the front 
passenger's safety belt can be locked for 
mounting and securing child-restraint sys-
tems.
Information regarding this is located near 
the buckle latch of each safety belt.
Lock the safety belt 
Pull the entire length of the belt from the 
belt retractor. Allow the reel to retract the 
belt somewhat and engage the buckle, 
then tighten the belt against the child-
restraint system. The retraction mechanism 
is now locked. 
Unlock the safety belt 
Release the buckle, remove the child-
restraint system and allow the belt retractor 
to reel the belt completely in.
