6. If the child restraint has a top
tether, follow the child restraint
manufacturer's instructions
regarding the use of the top
tether. See Lower Anchors and
Tethers for Children (LATCH
System) on page 3‑52 for
more information.
7. 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
and let it return to the stowed
position. If the top tether is
attached to a top tether anchor,
disconnect it. If the head restraint
was removed, reinstall it before
the seating position is used.
See “Head Restraint Removal and
Reinstallation” under Lower Anchors
and Tethers for Children (LATCH
System) on page 3‑52 for additional
information on installing the head
restraint properly. Securing Child Restraints
(Front Passenger Seat)
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 3‑51.
In addition, the vehicle has a
passenger sensing system which
is designed to turn off the right
front passenger frontal airbag
and seat‐mounted side impact
airbag under certain conditions.
See Passenger Sensing System on
page 3‑37 and Passenger Airbag
Status Indicator on page 5‑15
for more information, including
important safety information.
