Seats and Restraints

6. If the child restraint has a top

tether, follow the child restraint
manufacturer's instructions
regarding the use of the top
tether. See Lower Anchors and
Tethers for Children (LATCH
System) on page 3‑45
for more
information.

7. Before placing a child in the

child restraint, make sure it is
securely held in place. To check,
grasp the child restraint at the
safety belt path and attempt to
move it side to side and back
and forth. When the child
restraint is properly installed,
there should be no more than
2.5 cm (1 in) of movement.

To remove the child restraint,
unbuckle the vehicle safety
belt and let it return to the
stowed position. If the top tether
is attached to a top tether anchor,
disconnect it. If the head restraint
was removed, reinstall it before
the seating position is used.
See “Head Restraint Removal and
Reinstallation” under Lower Anchors
and Tethers for Children (LATCH
System) on page 3‑45
for additional
information on installing the head
restraint properly.

Securing Child Restraints
(Front Passenger Seat)

This vehicle has airbags. A rear
seat is a safer place to secure
a forward-facing child restraint.
See Where to Put the Restraint on
page 3‑44
.

In addition, the vehicle has a
passenger sensing system which
is designed to turn off the right
front passenger frontal airbag under
certain conditions. See Passenger
Sensing System on page 3‑30
and
Passenger Airbag Status Indicator
on page 5‑17
for more information,
including important safety
information.
