7. If your 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) on page 1-45
for more information.
8. Push and pull the child restraint in different
directions to be sure it is secure.
To remove the child restraint, unbuckle the vehicle

top tether is attached to a top tether anchor, disconnect it.

Airbag System

Your vehicle has the following airbags:
•
A frontal airbag for the driver.
•
A frontal airbag for the right front passenger.
Your vehicle may have the following airbags:
•
A roof-rail airbag for the driver and the passenger
seated directly behind the driver.
•
A roof-rail airbag for the right front passenger and
the person seated directly behind the right front
passenger.
All of the airbags in your vehicle will have the word
AIRBAG embossed in the trim or on an attached label
near the deployment opening.
For frontal airbags, the word AIRBAG will appear on
the middle part of the steering wheel for the driver and
on the instrument panel for the right front passenger.
With roof-rail airbags, the word AIRBAG will appear
along the headliner or trim.
Airbags are designed to supplement the protection
provided by safety belts. Even though today's airbags
are also designed to help reduce the risk of injury
from the force of an inflating bag, all airbags must
inflate very quickly to do their job.
