INSTALLING CHILD
RESTRAINTS
Child Restraints
E142594
Use a child restraint, sometimes called an
infant carrier, convertible seat, or toddler
seat, for infants, toddlers, or children
weighing 40 lb (18 kg) or less (generally
age four or younger).
Using Seatbelts
WARNING: Do not place a
rearward facing child restraint in front of
an active airbag. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in personal injury
or death.
WARNING: Properly secure
children 12 years old and under in a rear
seating position whenever possible. If
you are unable to properly secure all
children in a rear seating position,
properly secure the largest child on the
front seat. If you must use a forward
facing child restraint on the front seat,
move the seat as far back as possible.
Failure to follow these instructions could
result in personal injury or death.

Child Safety
WARNING: Depending on where
you secure a child restraint, and
depending on the child restraint design,
you may block access to certain seatbelt
buckle assemblies and LATCH lower
anchors, rendering those features
potentially unusable. To avoid risk of
injury, make sure occupants only use
seating positions where they are able to
be properly restrained.
When installing a child restraint with
seatbelts:
• Use the correct seatbelt buckle for that
seating position.
• Insert the belt tongue into the proper
buckle until the latch engages. Make
sure the tongue is securely fastened in
the buckle.
• Keep the buckle release button
pointing up and away from the child
restraint, with the tongue between the
child restraint and the release button,
to prevent accidental unbuckling.
• Place the vehicle seat in the upright
position before you install the child
restraint.
• This vehicle does not require the use
of a locking clip.
Perform the following steps when
installing the child restraint with seatbelts:
Note: Although the child restraint
illustrated is a forward facing child restraint,
the steps are the same for installing a rear
facing child restraint.
