2-44 Seats and Restraints
5. If the child restraint has a top tether,
follow the child restraint manufac-
turer's instructions regarding the
use of the top tether. See Lower
Anchors and Tethers for Children
(LATCH System) on page 2-37 for
more information.
6. Before placing a child in the child
restraint, make sure it is securely
held in place. To check, push and
pull the child restraint in different
directions to be sure it is secure.
To remove the child restraint, unbuckle
the vehicle safety belt and let it return to
the stowed position. If the top tether is
attached to a top tether anchor,
disconnect it.
This vehicle has airbags. A rear seat is a
safer place to secure a forward-facing
child restraint. See Where to Put the
Restraint on page 2-36.
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 passenger airbag inflates. This is
because the back of the rear-facing
child restraint would be very close to
the inflating airbag. Secure rear-
facing child restraints in a rear seat.
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
A child in a forward-facing child
restraint can be seriously injured or
killed if the outboard front passenger
airbag inflates and the passenger seat
is in a forward position. If you secure
a forward-facing child restraint in
the outboard front passenger seat,
always move the passenger seat as
far back as it will go. It is better to
secure the child restraint in a rear
seat.
If the vehicle does not have a rear seat
that will accommodate a child restraint,
a child restraint should not be installed
in the vehicle, even if the airbag is off.
