Rear Center Seat Child-Restraint 
System Installation

Follow these instructions when using a 
child-restraint system.

1. Secure the child-restraint system with a 

lap belt. Adjust for a snug fit by pulling 
on the loose end of the belt webbing.

2. If your child-restraint system requires 

the use of a tether strap, hook the tether 
strap by following the child-restraint 
system manufacturer’s instructions.

If You Must Use the Front Seat 
for Children

If you cannot put all children in the rear 
seat, at least put the smallest in the rear 
and be sure the largest child up front uses 
the shoulder belt over the shoulder.
Do not put rear-facing child-restraint 
systems on the front passenger’s seat.
This seat is also not set up for tethered 
child-restraint systems, put them in one of 
the three rear seat positions set up with 
tether anchors.
Don’t allow anyone to sleep against the 
right front door if you have an optional 
side air bag, it could cause serious injuries 
to an out of position occupant. As 
children more often sleep in cars, it is 
better to put them in the rear seat. If 
installing the child-restraint system on the 
front seat is unavoidable, follow these 
instructions when using a front-facing 
child-restraint system in the front 
passenger’s seat.

Child-Restraint Tether Usage:
Using the tether to secure anything 
but a child-restraint system is 
dangerous. This could weaken or 
damage the tether or tether anchor 
and result in injury. Use the tether 
and tether anchor only for a child-
restraint system.
