Essential Safety Equipment
Child Restraint
Only use a tether anchor designed for the
second-row seats:
Using a third-row seat tether anchor on the
second-row seat is dangerous. The
child-restraint system cannot be installed
correctly which may result in death or
injury to the child in a collision.
Tether strap
Third-row seat
Always route the tether straps to the sides
of the head restraint (Third-row seat):
Routing the tether straps on top of the
head restraint is dangerous. In a collision
the tether straps could slide off the head
restraint and loosen the child-restraint
system. The child-restraint system could
move which may result in death or injury to
the child.

▼ Using Automatic Locking Mode
(Except Mexico)
Follow these instructions when using a
child-restraint system, unless you are
attaching a LATCH-equipped
child-restraint system to the rear LATCH
lower anchors. Refer to "Using LATCH
Lower Anchor" (page 2-57).
NOTE
Follow the child-restraint system
manufacturer's instructions carefully. If
you are not sure whether you have a
LATCH system or tether, check in the
child-restraint system manufacturer's
instructions and follow them accordingly.
Depending on the type of child-restraint
system, it may use LATCH system instead
of seat belts or if the belt goes across the
child's chest, may recommend against
using automatic locking mode.

Fold the second-row seatback

Raise the second-row seatback until
a click sound is heard and it is locked
