Specifications

If your vehicle does not have a rear seat that
will accommodate a rear-facing child restraint,
we recommend that rear-facing child restraints
not be transported in your vehicle, even if the
airbag is off.
If your child restraint has the LATCH system,
see Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children
(LATCH) on page 60.
If your vehicle has a rear seat, 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 60 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.
Your vehicle has a right front passenger’s frontal
airbag. See Passenger Sensing System on
page 103. We recommend that rear-facing child
restraints be secured in a rear seat, even if
the airbag is off.
1. Move the seat as far back as it will go before
securing the forward-facing child restraint.
See Manual Seats on page 9 or Power Seats
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 start the vehicle. See Passenger
Airbag Status Indicator on page 258.
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.
