86 Seats and Restraints
Route the top tether (1) through
the loop (2) at the top of the
seatback directly behind the
child restraint and attach the
top tether hook to the top tether
loop at the top of the seatback
for the opposite rear seating
position (3).
5. Attach and tighten the lower
attachments to the lower
anchors. If the child restraint
does not have lower
attachments, secure the child
restraint with the seat belts and
the top tether (if appropriate).
See Securing Child Restraints
(With the Seat Belt in the Front
Seat) 0 95 or Securing Child
Restraints (With the Seat Belt
in the Rear Seat) 0 90.
6. Tighten the top tether. The
child restraint instructions will
show you how.
7. Before placing a child in the
child restraint, make sure it is
securely held in place. To
check, grasp the child restraint
at the LATCH path and attempt
to move it side to side and
back and forth. There should
be no more than 2.5 cm (1 in) of
movement for proper
installation.
8. Always reinstall the headrest
before the seating position is
used by another occupant. See

passenger seat is in a forward
position.
Even if the passenger sensing
system has turned off the right
front passenger frontal airbag, no
system is fail-safe. No one can
guarantee that an airbag will not
deploy under some unusual
circumstance, even though it is

Since this vehicle does not have

a rear-facing child restraint, a
rear-facing child restraint should
not be installed in your vehicle,
even if the airbag is off.
See Passenger Sensing System

The vehicle has a front outboard
passenger frontal airbag and a
passenger sensing system. The
