6. If the 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
System) 0 96.
7. Before placing a child in the
child restraint, make sure it is
securely held in place. Refer to
your child restraint manufacturer
instructions.
To remove the child restraint,
unbuckle the vehicle seat belt and let
it return to the stowed position. If the
top tether is attached to a top tether
anchor, disconnect it.
If the head restraint was removed,
reinstall it before the seating position
is used. See "Head Restraint Removal
and Reinstallation" under Lower
Anchors and Tethers for Children
(LATCH System) 0 96 for additional
information on installing the head
restraint properly.
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 95.
In addition, the vehicle has a
passenger sensing system which is
designed to turn off the front
outboard passenger frontal and knee
airbag under certain conditions.
See Passenger Sensing System 0 83 and
Passenger Airbag Status Indicator 0 130
for more information, including
important safety information.
Never put a rear-facing child seat in
the front. 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 injured or
killed if the front outboard
passenger frontal airbag inflates
and the passenger seat is in a
forward position.
Even if the passenger sensing
system has turned off the front
outboard passenger airbag(s), no
system is fail-safe. No one can
guarantee that an airbag will not
deploy under some unusual
circumstance, even though the
airbag(s) are off.
Secure rear-facing child restraints
in a rear seat, even if the airbag(s)
are off. If you secure a
forward-facing child restraint in the
front outboard passenger seat,
