ISOFIX Child Restraint

Systems

Some child restraints have an
ISOFIX system. As part of the
ISOFIX system, your child restraint
may have lower attachments and/or
a top tether. The ISOFIX system
can help hold the child restraint in
place during driving or in a crash.
Some vehicles have lower and/or
top tether anchors designed to
secure a child restraint with lower
attachments and/or a top tether.
Some child restraints with a top
tether are designed to be used
whether the top tether is anchored
or not. Other child restraints require
that the top tether be anchored.
A national or local law may require
that the top tether be anchored.
Your vehicle does not have lower
anchors or top tether anchors to
secure a child restraint with the
ISOFIX system. If a national or local
law requires that your top tether be
anchored, do not use a child
restraint in this vehicle because a
top tether cannot be properly
anchored. You must use the safety
belts to secure your child restraint in
this vehicle, unless a national or
local law requires that the top tether
be anchored. Refer to the child
restraint instructions and
instructions in this manual for
securing a child restraint using the
vehicle's safety belts. See Securing
Child Restraints on page 3-36.

Securing Child Restraints

This vehicle has airbags. In
addition, the vehicle has a
passenger sensing system which is
designed to turn off the front
outboard passenger frontal airbag
under certain conditions. See
Passenger Sensing System on
page 3-20 and Passenger Airbag
Status Indicator on page 5-15 for
more information, including
important safety information.
DO NOT place rear-facing child seat
on this seat. DEATH OR SERIOUS
INJURY can occur. 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 front outboard
passenger frontal 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
