Essential Safety Equipment

Child Restraint

Always install the head restraint and 

adjust it to the appropriate position 

after removing the child-restraint 

system:

Driving with the head restraint 

removed is dangerous as impact to the 

occupant's head cannot be prevented 

during emergency braking or in a 

collision, which could result in a serious 

accident, injury or death.

Refer to Head Restraints on page 

2-16.

Front Passenger's Seat Child-Restraint 

System Installation (With Front 

Passenger Occupant Classification 

System)

1.  Make sure the ignition is switched off.

2.  Slide the seat as far back as possible.

3.  Remove the head restraint.

4.  Place the child-restraint system on the 

seat without putting your weight on 

the seat and fasten the seat belt. See 

the manufacturer's instructions on the 

child-restraint system for belt routing 

instructions.

5.  To get the retractor into the automatic 

locking mode, pull the shoulder belt 

portion of the seat belt until the entire 

length of the belt is out of the retractor.

6.  Push the child-restraint system firmly 

into the vehicle seat. Be sure the 

belt retracts as snugly as possible. A 

clicking noise from the retractor will 

be heard during retraction if the system 

is in automatic locking mode. If the 

belt does not lock the seat down tight, 

repeat the previous step and also this 

one.
