Make sure to read and fully understand the following warnings before using any of the features in this section. Failure to observe warnings and cautions may result in vehicle damage, injury, or DEATH in the event of an accident.
Always follow the child seat manufacturer’s instructions that accompany the child seat carefully.
Always use a child restraint or booster seat appropriate to the age and size of a child.
Always wear seat belts or use suitable child restraints, for every trip, no matter how short.
Always securely store a head restraint, if removing it in order to fit a child restraint.
Always refit a removed head restraint after a child restraint is removed.
Always make sure the child restraint is correctly anchored.
Never use a forward-facing child restraint until the child using it is above 20 lb (9 kg), and able to sit up unaided. Up to the age of two, a child’s spine and neck are not sufficiently developed to avoid injury in a frontal impact.
Never allow a baby or infant to be held or carried on the lap. The force of a crash can increase effective body weight by as much as thirty times, making it impossible to hold onto the child.
Never use a child seat that only hooks over the seatback. A child seat of this type cannot be satisfactorily secured and is unlikely to be safe for a child.
Even with advanced airbags, children can be killed or seriously injured. Never place a child in any type of child restraint or booster seat in the front passenger seat. All children under the age of 13 should ride in the outboard second-row seats.
It may not be possible to fit three child seats at the same time to the rear seats. If larger child seats are used, it may only be possible to fit two child seats to the rear seats.
Make sure to read and fully understand the relevant warnings before using any of the features in this section. See CHILD SEAT SAFETY.
All infants and children should be restrained in a suitable child safety seat. The child safety seat should be appropriate to the age and size of the infant or child.
Make sure to read and fully understand the relevant warnings before using any of the features in this section. See CHILD SEAT SAFETY.
Crash statistics show that children are safest when properly secured in a child restraint system appropriate for the age and weight of the child, in a rear seating position. Failure to use an appropriate restraint system greatly increases the risk of serious injury or death in the event of an accident.
The legislation which governs how and where children should be carried when traveling in a vehicle is subject to change. The driver is responsible for making sure that all regulations in force are complied with.
Make sure to read and fully understand the relevant warnings before using any of the features in this section. See CHILD SEAT SAFETY.
A child may be too large to fit into a child safety seat, but too small to safely fit the vehicle’s seat belt. In these circumstances it is recommended that a booster seat is used. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the fitting and use of the booster seat. Adjust the vehicle’s seat belt accordingly.
If the booster seat is fitted with LATCH connectors, these should be used to secure the seat in conjunction with the rear seat belt.
Make sure to read and fully understand the relevant warnings before using any of the features in this section. See CHILD SEAT SAFETY.
Every time a child travels in the vehicle, observe the following:
Make sure to read and fully understand the relevant warnings before using any of the features in this section. See CHILD SEAT SAFETY.
Children should travel in the rear of the vehicle at all times. Front passenger seat travel is not recommended. Failure to observe this may result in serious injury, or death in the event of an accident.
Extreme hazard! Never place a rearward-facing child restraint on the front passenger seat. The infant could be seriously injured or killed if the air bag deploys.
Child restraint systems are designed to be secured in vehicle seats by use of the lap belts or the lap belt portion of a lap-shoulder belt. Children could be endangered in a crash if their child restraints are not properly secured.
Foldable seats must be in a secure upright position before fitting a child restraint. See FOLDING AND RAISING THE REAR SEATS.
A child should only travel in the front passenger seat if it is essential and national or state legislation permits it. If this is the case, it is recommended that the following preparations are made before fitting the child restraint:
Make sure to read and fully understand the relevant warnings before using any of the features in this section. See CHILD SEAT SAFETY.
It is recommended that the rear door interior handles are disabled if children are to be carried in the rear seat positions.
Press the button located on the driver’s door to activate the child door locks and inhibit the rear windows. The LED indicator illuminates when active, and the instrument panel displays a message.
To switch off, press the button again. The LED extinguishes and the instrument panel displays a message.
Make sure to read and fully understand the relevant warnings before using any of the features in this section. See CHILD SEAT SAFETY.
Extreme hazard! Never place a rearward facing child restraint on the front seat. The infant could be seriously injured or killed if the air bag deploys.
The above label is affixed to the passenger’s side sun-visor. The label warns against the use of a rear-facing child seat in the front passenger’s seat, when a front passenger air bag is fitted and operational.
Never let a child’s head rest near to a front seat side air bag, as an inflating air bag can cause serious or fatal injury.
The above label is affixed to both B pillars. The label warns against a child sitting too close to the front seat side air bag.
Make sure to read and fully understand the relevant warnings before using any of the features in this section. See CHILD SEAT SAFETY.
Extreme hazard! Never place a rearward facing child restraint on the front passenger seat. The infant could be seriously injured or killed if the air bag deploys.
Always follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the child restraint system.
Make sure the child seat fits the child properly. Always check the child restraint system manufacturer’s instructions and labels for height and weight limits.
Before fitting a child seat to a second row adjustable seat, adjust the second row seatback to the upright position to support the child seat.
Make sure to read and fully understand the relevant warnings before using any of the features in this section. See CHILD SEAT SAFETY.
Never attempt to fit LATCH child restraints to the center rear seating position. The anchor bars are not designed to hold a LATCH child restraint in this position. The child could be endangered in a crash if the child restraint is not properly secured in the vehicle.
If the child restraint is not correctly anchored, there is a significant risk of injury to the child in the event of a collision or emergency braking.
child restraint anchorages are designed to withstand only those loads imposed by correctly fitted child restraints. Under no circumstances are they to be used for adult seat belts, harnesses, or for attaching other items or equipment to the vehicle.
To fit LATCH child restraint:
Both of the outer rear seat positions are equipped to accept LATCH child restraints. Test the security of the child restraint. To do this, attempt to pull the restraint away from the vehicle’s seat and twist the restraint from side to side. Even if the restraint appears secure, the anchor points should be checked visually to make sure they are correctly attached.
Always make sure that if an upper tether is provided, it is fitted and tightened correctly.
For child restraints fitted with a support leg, adjust the leg so that it rests firmly on the floor.
Make sure to read and fully understand the relevant warnings before using any of the features in this section. See CHILD SEAT SAFETY.
Always follow the instructions that accompany the child seat carefully.
Always pass the tether strap over the seatback and underneath the head restraint when fitting a child restraint.
Always move the armrest to the stored position in the seat backrest before a child restraint is fitted to the center rear seat.
The center seat upper tether anchor is not for use with LATCH tethers.
If a child restraint is fitted to the center rear seat, the center armrest must be moved to the stored position, in the seat’s backrest.
The vehicle is equipped with anchorage points on the back of the seat frames as shown. The anchorage points should be used to attach straps from child seats or restraints systems.
To fit a tether strap:
For the center seat position, pass the tether strap over the fixed head restraint.
