Installation of infant and child restraint 
systems

This vehicle is equipped with tether an-
chorages for a top tether strap at each of 
the rear seating positions.

 from anchorage ring.

Store cover

 in a convenient place 

(e.g. glove box).

Guide tether strap between head re-
straint and top of the seat back.

Head restraint must be positioned such 
that the top tether strap can pass freely 
between the head restraint and the top 
of the seat back.

Make sure the tether strap is not 
twisted.

Warning!

G

Infants and small children should never 

share a seat belt with another occupant. 

During an accident, they could be crushed 

between the occupant and seat belt.

A child’s risk of serious or fatal injuries is 

significantly increased if the child restraints 

are not properly secured in the vehicle 

and/or the child is not properly secured in 

the child restraint.

Children too big for a toddler restraint must 

ride in seats using regular seat belts. Posi-

tion shoulder belt across chest and shoul-

der, not face or neck. A booster seat may be 

necessary to achieve proper belt positioning 

for children over 41 lb until they reach a 

height where a lap/shoulder belt fits 

properly without a booster.

When the child restraint is not in use, 

remove it from the vehicle or secure it with 

the seat belt to prevent the child restraint 

from becoming a projectile in the event of 

an accident.

Do not leave children unattended in the 

vehicle, even if the children are secured in a 

child restraint system. Unsupervised chil-

dren in a child restraint system may use 

vehicle equipment and may cause an acci-

dent and/or serious personal injury.
