Seats and Restraints

4. Pull the shoulder belt all the way out of

the retractor to set the lock. When the
retractor lock is set, the belt can be
tightened but not pulled out of the
retractor.

5. To tighten the belt, push down on the

child restraint, pull the shoulder portion
of the belt to tighten the lap portion of
the belt, and feed the shoulder belt back
into the retractor. When installing a
forward-facing child restraint, it may be
helpful to use your knee to push down
on the child restraint as you tighten
the belt.
Try to pull the belt out of the retractor
to make sure the retractor is locked.
If the retractor is not locked, repeat
Steps 4 and 5.

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

.

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 seat 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 seat belt and let it return to the
stowed position. If the top tether is attached
to a top tether anchor, disconnect it.

Securing Child Restraints (With
the Seat Belt in the Front Seat)

This vehicle has airbags. A rear seat is a
safer place to secure a forward-facing child
restraint. See

.

In addition, the vehicle has a passenger
sensing system which is designed to turn off
the front outboard passenger frontal airbag
and knee airbag under certain conditions.
