Airbags can kill or injure a child in a child seat. NEVER place a

rear-facing child seat in front of an active airbag. If you must use a

forward-facing child seat in the front seat, move the vehicle seat all the

way back.
Children 12 and under should be properly restrained in a rear seating

position whenever possible. If all children cannot be seated and

restrained properly in a rear seating position, properly restrain the

largest child in the front seat.

Installing child safety seats with combination lap and shoulder

belts

The rear seat head restraints must be removed when using a child

seat that utilizes the top tether anchor.

Check to make sure the child seat is properly secured before each use.

Children 12 and under should be properly restrained in a rear seating

position whenever possible. If all children cannot be seated and

restrained properly in a rear seating position, properly restrain the

largest child in the front seat.
When installing a child safety seat with combination lap/shoulder belts:

Use the correct seat belt buckle for that seating position.

Insert the belt tongue into the proper buckle until you hear a snap

and feel it latch. Make sure the tongue is securely fastened in the

buckle.

Keep the buckle release button pointing up and away from the safety

seat, with the tongue between the child seat and the release button,

to prevent accidental unbuckling.

Place vehicle seat back in upright position.

Put the seat belt in the automatic locking mode. Refer to step 5 below.

This vehicle does not require the use of a locking clip.

WARNING:

Depending on where you secure a child restraint,

and depending on the child restraint design, you may block

access to certain seat belt buckle assemblies and/or LATCH lower

anchors, rendering those features potentially unusable. To avoid risk of

injury, occupants should only use seating positions where they are able

to be properly restrained.
