3-46 Seats and Restraints
6. If the child restraint has a top
tether, follow the child restraint
manufacturer's instructions
regarding the use of the top
tether. See Lower Anchors and
Tethers for Children (LATCH
System) on page 3-38 for more
information.
7. Before placing a child in the
child restraint, make sure it is
securely held in place. Refer to
your child restraint manufacturer
instructions.
To remove the child restraint,
unbuckle the vehicle safety belt and
let it return to the stowed position.
If the top tether is attached to a top
tether anchor, disconnect it.

Securing Child Restraints

(Front Passenger Seat)

This vehicle has airbags. A rear
seat is a safer place to secure a
forward-facing child restraint. See
Where to Put the Restraint on
page 3-37.
There is a switch on the instrument
panel that you can use to turn off
the right front passenger frontal
airbag. See Airbag On-Off Switch on
page 3-27 for more information,
including important safety
information.
Never put a rear facing child seat in
the front. This is because the risk to
the rear-facing child is so great if the
airbag deploys.

Warning
A child in a rear-facing child
restraint can be seriously injured
or killed if the right front
passenger airbag inflates. This is
because the back of the
rear-facing child restraint would
be very close to the inflating
airbag. A child in a forward-facing
child restraint can be seriously
injured or killed if the right front
passenger airbag inflates and the
passenger seat is in a forward
position.
Even if the airbag switch has
turned off the right front
passenger frontal airbag, no
system is fail-safe. No one can
guarantee that an airbag will not
deploy under some unusual
circumstance, even though it is
turned off.
