WARNING! (Continued)

• Do not drive your vehicle after the air bags have deployed. If you are involved in

another collision, the air bags will not be in place to protect you.

• After any collision, the vehicle should be taken to an authorized dealer

immediately.

CHILD RESTRAINTS

• Children 12 years and under should ride properly buckled up in a rear seat, if

available. According to crash statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in

the rear seats rather than in the front.

• Every state in the United States and all Canadian provinces require that small

children ride in proper restraint systems. This is the law, and you can be prosecuted

for ignoring it.

Installing The LATCH - Compatible Child Restraint System

• Your vehicle's second row passenger seats are equipped with the child restraint

anchorage system called LATCH, which stands for Lower Anchors and Tether for

CHildren. LATCH child restraint anchorage systems are installed at all three rear

seating positions.

• The rear outboard seating positions have lower anchors, and all three rear seating

positions have top tether anchors.

• Child seats with fixed lower attachments must be installed in the outboard positions

only. Child seats with flexible lower attachments can be used in all three seating

positions.

• NEVER install LATCH-compatible child seats such that two seats share a common

lower anchorage.

• Loosen the child seat adjusters on the

lower straps and tether straps so that

you can attach the hook or connector

to the lower and tether anchorages

more easily.

• Attach the lower hooks or connectors

over the top of the seatcover material.

• The tether strap should be routed under

the center of the head restraint and

attached to the tether anchor on the

rear of the seatback.
