There is no top tether anchor at the right front
seating position. Do not secure a child seat in this
position if a national or local law requires that
the top tether be anchored or if the instructions
that come with the child restraint say that the top
tether must be anchored. See Lower Anchors
and Tethers for Children (LATCH)
on page 57 if
the child restraint has a top tether.

You will be using the lap-shoulder belt to secure
the child restraint in this position. Be sure to follow
the instructions that came with the child restraint.
Secure the child in the child restraint when and as
the instructions say.

1. Your vehicle has a right front passenger’s

frontal airbag. See Passenger Sensing
System
on page 82. We recommend that
rear-facing child restraints be secured in a rear
seat, even if the airbag is off. If your child
restraint is forward-facing, move the seat as
far back as it will go before securing the
child restraint in this seat. See Manual Seats
on page 8 or Power Seat on page 10.

When the passenger sensing system has
turned off the right front passenger’s frontal
airbag, the off indicator in the passenger airbag
status indicator should light and stay lit
when you turn the ignition to RUN or START.
See Passenger Airbag Status Indicator on
page 177
.

2. Put the child restraint on the seat.

3. Pick up the latch plate, and run the lap and

shoulder portions of the vehicle’s safety belt
through or around the restraint. The child
restraint instructions will show you how.
