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 2-17.

Using Automatic Locking Mode

(Except Mexico)

Follow these instructions when using a

child-restraint system, unless you are

attaching a LATCH

-

equipped

child-restraint system to the rear

LATCH lower anchors. Refer to “Using

LATCH Lower Anchor” (page 2-50).

NOTE

Follow the child-restraint system

manufacturer's instructions carefully. If

you are not sure whether you have a

LATCH system or tether, check in the

child-restraint system manufacturer's

instructions and follow them

accordingly. Depending on the type of

child-restraint system, it may use

LATCH system instead of seat belts or if

the belt goes across the child's chest,

may recommend against using

automatic locking mode.
1. Make sure the seatback is securely

latched by pushing it back until it is

fully locked.

2. Remove the head restraint.

However, when installing a backless

booster seat, always install the

vehicle head restraint to the seat

where the backless booster seat is

installed.

Refer to Head Restraints on page

2-17.

3. Secure the child-restraint system

with the lap portion of the lap/

shoulder belt. See the

manufacturer's instructions on the

child-restraint system for belt

routing instructions.
