SAFETY INFORMATION
7. Make sure the child restraint system is
firmly secured by rocking it forward and
back, and side to side; less than one inch
of movement should occur near the seat
belt.
To deactivate a lockable retractor, release
the buckle and allow the seat belt to wind
up all the way.
Adding Security with a Tether
n
A tether anchorage point is provided behind
the passenger seat. A child seat with a tether
can be installed, so long as the base of the
child seat is secured using a seat belt.
1. Move the seat forward.
2. Secure the tether strap hook onto the anchor. Make sure the strap is not
twisted.
3. Tighten the tether strap as instructed by the child seat manufacturer.

4. Move the seat to the rearmost position.
Note: Always use a tether for forward facing child seats when using the seat belt
or lower anchors.
Protecting Larger Children
n
Since this vehicle does not have a back seat, we recommend that you do not
carry a child age 12 or under as a passenger. This is because children who have
outgrown child seats are also at risk of being injured or killed by an inflating
passenger's front airbag. If a larger child must ride in this vehicle, the following
information may be useful when deciding when a child may ride in this vehicle,
and how to properly protect the child.
Have the child sit upright and all the way back, then ensure the following:
• The child's knees bend comfortably over
the edge of the seat.
• The shoulder belt crosses between the
child's neck and arm.
• The lap part of the seat belt is as low as
possible, touching the child's thighs.
• The child can stay seated for the whole
trip.
If a lap/shoulder belt cannot be used
properly, position the child in a booster seat
