Securing an Add-On Child Restraint in
t
h
e Vehicle
{ Warning
A
child can be seriously injured or killed
in
acrash if the child restraint is not
properly secured in the vehicle. Secure
the child restraint properly in the vehicle
using the vehicle seat belt or LATCH system,
following the instructions that came with
that child restraint and the instructions in
this manual.
To help reduce the chance of injury, the child
re
straint must be secured in the vehicle. Child
restraints must be secured in vehicle seats by
the lap belt portion of alap-shoulder belt, or
by the LATCH system. See Lower Anchors and
Tethers for Children (LATCH System) 381 for
more information. Never use aseat belt
extender when installing achild restraint.
Never use non-regulated aftermarket anchors
or attachments to secure achild restraint.
Children can be endangered in acrash if
the child restraint is not properly secured in
the vehicle.
When securing an add-on child restraint, see
th
e following:
•
Instruction labels provided on the
child restraint
•
Instruction manual provided with the
child restraint
•
This vehicle owner's manual
The child restraint instructions are important,
so if they are not available, obtain
areplacement copy from the manufacturer.
Keep in mind that an unsecured child restraint
can move around in acollision or sudden
stop and injure people in the vehicle. Be sure
to properly secure any child restraint in the
vehicle — even when no child is in it.
In some areas Certified Child Passenger
Safety Technicians (CPSTs) are available to
inspect and demonstrate how to correctly
use and install child restraints. In the U.S.,
see the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) website to locate the
nearest child safety seat inspection station.
For CPST availability in Canada, check with
Transport Canada or the Provincial Ministry of
Transportation office.

ild Restraint
{ Warning
A
child can be seriously injured or killed in
a cr
ash if the child is not properly secured in
the child restraint. Secure the child properly
following the instructions that came with
that child restraint.
Where to Put the Restraint
Ac
cording to accident statistics, children and
infants are safer when properly restrained in
an appropriate child restraint secured in arear
seating position.
Whenever possible, children aged 12 and under
should be secured in arear seating position.
The vehicle is equipped with afront center
airbag in the inboard side of the driver seat.
Even with afront center airbag, achild
restraint can be installed in any second row
seating position.
Never put arear-facing child restraint in the
front. This is because the risk to the rear-facing
child is so great if the airbag deploys.
