Child Seat Restraint System
A child in a rear-facing child restraint can be seriously injured if the front passenger air bag inflates, because the back of a rear-facing child restraint would be very close to the inflating air bag. NEVER use a rear-facing child restraint in this vehicle. If a forward-facing child restraint is suitable for your child, ALWAYS move the front passenger seat as far back as it will go and then install the child restraint. Be sure the child restraint position does not conflict with any additional requirements provided by the manufacturer. For more information, refer to the vehicle owner's manual and the instructions that came with the child restraint.
All vehicles are equipped with a dual-mode type retractor with emergency and automatic locking features. The automatic locking feature is for the restraint of a child seat. The child seat can be secured by pulling the seat belt all the way out to lock it, then tightening the seat belt around the child seat. If the child seat has a top strap, the child seat should be anchored. This applies to the seats designed with the top strap provision and for the vehicles sold in Canada. To ensure the correct top strap angle, the child seat is only to be used at the seating position for which the top strap anchor is installed. The child seat should be installed and secured according to the manufacturer's directions.
