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

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.

(Front Passenger Seat)

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

front passenger frontal airbag
and seat

mounted side impact

airbag under certain conditions.
