Seats and Restraints

Do not secure a child seat in a
position without a top tether anchor
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
strap must be anchored.

In Canada, the law requires that
forward-facing child restraints have
a top tether, and that the tether be
attached.

You will be using the lap-shoulder
belt to secure the child restraint in
this position. Follow the instructions
that came with the child restraint.

1. Move the seat as far back as

it will go before securing the
forward-facing child restraint.

When the passenger sensing
system has turned off the
right front passenger frontal
airbag, the off indicator on
the passenger airbag status
indicator should light and stay
lit when the vehicle is started.
See Passenger Airbag Status
Indicator on page 5‑16
.

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.

4. Push the latch plate into the

buckle until it clicks.

Position the release button on
the buckle so that the safety belt
could be quickly unbuckled if
necessary.

5. Pull the shoulder belt all the way

out of the retractor to set the
lock. When the retractor lock is
set, the belt can be tightened but
not pulled out of the retractor.
