6. Before placing a child in the
child restraint, make sure it is
securely held in place. Push and
pull the child restraint in
different directions to be sure it
is secure.

top tether is attached to a top tether

Securing Child Restraints

(With the Seat Belt in the

Front Seat)

This vehicle has airbags. A rear seat is
a safer place to secure a
forward-facing child restraint. See
Where to Put the Restraint 0 89.
In addition, the vehicle has a
passenger sensing system which is
designed to turn off the front
outboard passenger frontal airbag and
knee airbag under certain conditions.
See Passenger Sensing System 0 77 and
Passenger Airbag Status
Indicator 0 120.
Warning
NEVER use a rearward-facing child
restraint on a seat protected by an
ACTIVE AIRBAG in front of it;
DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY to the
CHILD can occur.
Danger
When using a child restraint system
on the front passenger seat, the
airbag systems for the front
passenger seat must be deactivated;
if not, the triggering of the airbags
poses a risk of fatal injury to the
child.
This is especially the case if
rear-facing child restraint systems
are used on the front
passenger seat.
If the child restraint uses a top tether,
see ISOFIX Child Restraint Systems
0 92 for top tether anchor locations.
Do not secure a child seat in a
position without a top tether anchor if
a national or local law requires that
the top tether be anchored, or if the
instructions that come with the child
restraint say that the top strap must
be anchored.
When using the lap-shoulder belt to
secure the child restraint in this
position, follow the instructions that
came with the child restraint and the
following instructions:
1. Move the seat rearward as far
back as it will go and raise the
seat upward as far as it will go,
before securing the
forward-facing child restraint.
