REAR-FACING CHILD RESTRAINT
INSTALLATION USING THE SEAT
BELTS

WARNING

. The three-point seat belt with

Automatic Locking Retractor
(ALR) must be used when instal-
ling a child restraint. Failure to
use the ALR mode will result in
the child restraint not being prop-
erly secured. The restraint could
tip over or be loose and cause
injury to a child in a sudden stop
or collision. Also, it can change
the operation of the front pas-
senger air bag. See “Front pas-
senger air bag and status light”
(P.1-63).

. When installing a child restraint

system in the 3rd center seat
position, both the center seat belt
connector tongue and buckle
tongue must be secured. See

“3rd row center seat belt” (P.1-26).

Rear-facing — step 1

Refer to all Warnings and Cautions in the
“Child safety” (P.1-30) and “Child restraints”
(P.1-32) before installing a child restraint.

Do not use the lower anchors if the
combined weight of the child and the
child restraint exceeds 65 lbs (29.5 kg). If
the combined weight of the child and the
child restraint is greater than 65 lbs (29.5
kg), use the vehicle’s seat belt (not the
lower anchors) to install the child re-
straint. Be sure to follow the child re-
straint manufacturer’s instructions for
installation.

Follow these steps to install a rear-facing
child restraint using the vehicle seat belts
in the rear seats:

Child restraints for infants must be
used in the rear-facing direction and
therefore must not be used in the
front seat. Position the child restraint
on the seat. Always follow the re-
straint manufacturer’s instructions.

BOOSTER SEATS

Precautions on booster seats

WARNING

If a booster seat and seat belt are not
used properly, the risk of a child
being injured in a sudden stop or
collision greatly increases:
. Make sure the shoulder portion of

the belt is away from the child’s
face and neck and the lap portion
of the belt does not cross the
stomach.

. Make sure the shoulder belt is not

behind the child or under the
child’s arm.

. A booster seat must only be

installed in a seating position that
has a lap/shoulder belt.

LRS0455

Booster seats of various sizes are offered
by several manufacturers. When selecting
any booster seat, keep the following
points in mind:
. Choose only a booster seat with a

label certifying that it complies with
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard
213 or Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard 213.

. Check the booster seat in your vehicle

to be sure it is compatible with the
vehicle’s seat and seat belt system.

LRS0453

. Make sure the child’s head will be

properly supported by the booster
seat or vehicle seat. The seatback
must be at or above the center of
the child’s ears. For example, if a low
back booster seat

is chosen, the

vehicle seatback must be at or above
the center of the child’s ears. If the
seatback is lower than the center of
the child’s ears, a high back booster
seat

should be used.

. If the booster seat is compatible with

your vehicle, place your child in the
booster seat and check the various
adjustments to be sure the booster
seat is compatible with your child.
Always follow all recommended pro-

cedures.

LRS0464

All U.S. states and Canadian provinces
or territories require that infants and
small children be restrained in an ap-
proved child restraint at all times while
the vehicle is being operated.

The instructions in this section apply to
booster seat installation in the rear seats
or the front passenger seat.

CAUTION

Do not use the lap/shoulder belt
Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)
mode when using a booster seat
with the seat belts.

Refer to all Warnings and Cautions in the
“Child safety”, “Child restraints” and “Boos-
ter seats” sections earlier in this section
before installing a child restraint.
