When possible, put children in the rear seat of your vehicle. Accident
statistics suggest that children are safer when properly restrained in the
rear seating positions than in the front seating positions.
Built-In Child Seat (If equipped)
The second row bench seat may include two optional built-in
child safety seats (one on the driver side and one on the
passenger side). This child restraint is to be used only by
children who are at least one year old, weigh between 9 and
27 kilograms (20 and 60 pounds) and whose shoulders (top) are
below the bottom of the headrest in the full up position.
If your child is less than one year old or weighs less than
9 kilograms (20 pounds), always use a rear facing infant or
convertible seat because a child of that size is not sufficiently
developed to withstand crash forces in a front facing position.
Follow the specific manufacturer's instructions for weight and
height restrictions.
Always latch the vehicle seat to the floor, whether the
seat is occupied or empty. If not latched, the seat may
cause injury during a sudden stop.
Children must be properly buckled before riding in the vehicle.
It is the law in every state and province. This child seat
conforms to all Federal/Canadian motor vehicle safety
standards.
Built-in child seat belt retractors
The belts on the built-in child seat are equipped with a retractor
that locks when both belt tongues are latched into the crotch
safety belt and buckle.
The retractor will switch from the emergency locking mode to
the automatic locking mode when the shoulder belts are pulled
all the way out. The retractor will switch back to emergency
locking mode when the belts are unbuckled and the shoulder
belts retract completely.
