buckle until it clicks. Position the
release button on the buckle so
that the safety belt can be
unbuckled.

use your knee to push down on
the child restraint as you tighten
the belt.

child restraint manufacturer's
instructions.

10. Before placing a child in the

child restraint, make sure it is
securely held in place. To
check, grasp the child restraint
at the safety belt path and
attempt to move it side to side
and back and forth. When the
child restraint is properly
installed, there should be no
more than 2.5 cm (1 in) of
movement.

To remove the child restraint,
unbuckle the vehicle safety belt.
If the top tether is attached to the
top tether anchor, disconnect it and
reinstall the top tether anchor cover.

Securing Child Restraints
(Right Front Seat
Position)

This vehicle has airbags. A rear
seat is a safer place to secure a
forward-facing child restraint. See
Where to Put the Restraint on
page 3‑41
.

In addition, the vehicle may have a
passenger sensing system which is
designed to turn off the right front
passenger's frontal airbag under
certain conditions. See Passenger
Sensing System on page 3‑27
and
Passenger Airbag Status Indicator
on page 5‑11
for more information
on this, including important safety
information.
