Seats and Restraints
109
Caution (Continued)
Do not fold the rear seatback
when the seat is occupied. Do not
fold the empty rear seat with a
seat belt buckled. This could
damage the seat belt or the seat.
Unbuckle and return the seat belt
to its stowed position, before
folding the seat.
The vehicle is equipped with a front
center airbag in the inboard side of
the driver seat. Even with a front
center airbag, a child restraint can
be installed in any second row
seating position. If a child restraint is
installed in a second row center
seat, move the second row seat to
the rearward position, whenever
possible, to minimize contact with
the front center airbag.
If you need to secure more than one
child restraint in the rear seat, see
.
This system is designed to make
installation of child restraints easier.
When using lower anchors, do not
use the vehicle's seat belts. Instead,
use the vehicle's anchors and child
restraint attachments to secure the
restraints. Some restraints also use
another vehicle anchor to secure a
top tether.
1. Put the child restraint on the
seat. If the head restraint
interferes with the proper
installation of the child
restraint, the head restraint
may be removed. See "Head
Restraint Removal and
Reinstallation" at the end of
this section.
2. Attach and tighten the lower
attachments to the lower
anchors. If the child restraint
does not have lower
attachments or the desired
seating position does not have
lower anchors, secure the child
restraint with the top tether and
the seat belts. Refer to your
child restraint manufacturer
instructions and the
instructions in this manual.
2.1. Find the lower anchors
for the desired seating
position.
2.2. To access the lower
anchors in the second
row, it may help to recline
the seatback.
Third row seatbacks must
be upright before placing
the child restraint on
the seat.
2.3. Put the child restraint on
the seat.
2.4. Attach and tighten the
lower attachments on the
child restraint to the lower
anchors.
If necessary, adjust the
angle of the second row
seatback to achieve a
tight installation. Make
sure the second row
bench seatbacks are
aligned at the same
angle.
