Essential Safety Equipment

Child Restraint

NOTE

Inspect this function before each use of 

the child-restraint system. You should 

not be able to pull the shoulder belt out 

of the retractor while the system is in the 

automatic locking mode. When you remove 

the child-restraint system, be sure the 

belt fully retracts to return the system to 

emergency locking mode before occupants 

use the seat belts.

7.  If your child-restraint system requires 

the use of a tether strap, refer to the 

manufacturer's instructions to hook and 

tighten the tether strap.

WARNING

Use the tether and tether anchor only 

for a child-restraint system:

Using the tether or tether anchor to 

secure anything but a child-restraint 

system is dangerous. This could 

weaken or damage the tether or tether 

anchor and result in injury.

Always remove the head restraint and 

install child-restraint system (Second-

row seat):

Installing a child-restraint system 

without removing the head restraint is 

dangerous. The child-restraint system 

cannot be installed correctly which 

may result in death or injury to the 

child in a collision.

child-restraint system. If the child-

restraint system moves it could result 

in death or injury to the child.
