moving.
WARNING
. Before installing a child restraint
system, be sure to confirm that the
seatback is securely locked into
place. Otherwise, in an accident,
serious injury or death could result.
. Do not leave children in the car
unattended. High interior tempera-
tures may cause heat stroke and
dehydration that result in serious
injury or death.
WARNING
S_103088-MW
Never let a passenger hold a child on
their lap or in their arms while the
vehicle is moving. The passenger
cannot protect the child (or infant) from
injury in a collision, because the child
will be caught between the passenger
and objects inside the vehicle. Addi-
tionally, if a passenger holds a child on
their lap or in their arms in the front
seat, they expose the child to another
serious danger. Since the SRS airbag
deploys with considerable speed and
force, the child could be injured or
even killed.
WARNING
S_103089-MW
Children should be properly restrained
at all times when in the vehicle. Never
allow a child to stand or kneel on any
seat. An unrestrained child will be
thrown forward during a sudden stop
or in an accident and can be injured
seriously. Additionally, a child who
stands or kneels on or in front of the
front seat is exposed to another
serious danger. Since the SRS airbag
deploys with considerable speed and
force, the child could be injured or
even killed.
SAFETY TIPS FOR INSTALLING
CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEMS
s01ag16
WARNING
. Child restraint systems and seat-
belts can become hot in a vehicle
that has been closed up in sunny
weather; they could burn a small
child. Check the child restraint
system before you place a child in
it.
. Do not use a seatbelt extender. If a
seatbelt extender is used when
installing a child restraint system,
the seatbelt will not securely hold
the child restraint system. Use of a
seatbelt extender could cause
death or serious injury to children
or other passengers in sudden
braking, swerving, or accidents.

. Attach the child restraint system to
the anchors properly. When using
the LATCH anchors, be sure that
there are no foreign objects around
the anchors. Make sure the child
restraint system is securely at-
tached. Otherwise, it may cause
death or serious injury to children
or other passengers in sudden
braking, swerving, or accidents.
. Do not leave an unsecured child
restraint system in your vehicle.
Unsecured child restraint systems
can be thrown around inside of the
vehicle in a sudden stop, turn or
accident; they can strike and injure
vehicle occupants as well as result
in serious injuries or death to the
child.
. Several types of child restraint
systems may conceal the buckle of
the neighboring seat. If the occu-
pant of the neighboring seat cannot
correctly fasten the seatbelt, that
person must move to a different
seat. If the seatbelt cannot be
correctly fastened, there is the risk
of serious injury or death in the
event of sudden braking or a
collision.
. If the child restraint system cannot
be correctly installed because it
contacts the driver’s seat, move
the child restraint system to a
different seat. If it cannot be
installed in a different seat (other
than the driver’s seat), adjust the
front seat so that contact does not
occur.
. Even with advanced airbags, in-
fants and children can be seriously
injured by the airbag. Seat children
in the rear seat properly restrained.
The SRS airbag deploys with
considerable speed and force and
can injure or even kill children,
especially if they are not restrained
or improperly restrained. Because
children are lighter and weaker
than adults, their risk of being
injured from deployment is greater.
For that reason, be sure to secure
ALL types of child restraint sys-
tems on the REAR seats. You
should choose a restraint system
which is appropriate for the child’s
age, height and weight. According
to accident statistics, children are
safer when properly restrained in
the rear seating positions than in
the front seating positions.
. Do not use lower anchors for a seat
in the center seating position un-
less a child restraint system man-
ufacturer’s instructions permit and
specify using anchors spaced as
far apart as those in this vehicle.
. Do not connect two or more lower
anchor attachments onto the same
lower anchor.
. NEVER INSTALL A REARWARD
FACING CHILD RESTRAINT
SYSTEM ON THE FRONT PAS-
SENGER’S SEAT. DOING SO
RISKS SERIOUS INJURY OR
DEATH TO THE CHILD BY PLA-
CING THE CHILD’S HEAD TOO
CLOSE TO THE SRS AIRBAG.
. Do not allow children to lean their
heads or any other parts of their
bodies against the door or the area
of the seat, front and rear pillars or
roof side rails. The SRS side air-
bags and SRS curtain airbags
deploy even if children are seated
in the child restraint system, and
the impact could cause death or
serious injury to the child.
. To secure the child restraint sys-
tem, be sure to comply with all
installation instructions provided
by the child restraint system man-
ufacturer. Not doing so could result
in death or serious injury to children
in a sudden stop or accident.
. When installing a child restraint
system (except when using

LATCH), always ensure the seat
belt is threaded through the belt
guide to secure the child restraint
system.
CAUTION
When you install a child restraint
system, follow the manufacturer’s in-
structions supplied with it. After in-
stalling the child restraint system,
check to ensure that it is held securely
in position. If it is not held tight and
secure, the danger of your child
suffering personal injury in the event of
an accident may be increased.
CHOOSING A CHILD RE-
STRAINT SYSTEM
s01ag02
S_103090-MW
Choose a child restraint system that is
appropriate for the child’s age and size
(weight and height) in order to provide the
child with proper protection. The child
restraint system should meet all applic-
able requirements of Federal Motor Ve-
hicle Safety Standards for the United
States or of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards for Canada. It can be identified
by looking for the label on the child
restraint system or the manufacturer’s
statement of compliance in the document
attached to the system. Also it is impor-
tant for you to make sure that the child
restraint system is compatible with the
vehicle in which it will be used.
NOTE
Some sizes of child restraint systems
may not fit the vehicle seat. Before
purchasing a child restraint system,
check whether it fits on the vehicle seat.

do not install it on the front
