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)
on page 350
for more
information.
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
safety belt path and attempt
to move it sidetoside and
backandforth. When the child
restraint is properly installed,
there should be no more than
2.5 cm (1 in) of movement.
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. 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)
on page 350
for
additional information on installing
the head restraint properly.
Securing Child Restraints
(Front Passenger 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
on
page 349
.
In addition, the vehicle has a
passenger sensing system which
is designed to turn off the right
front passenger frontal airbag and
seatmounted side impact airbag
under certain conditions. See
Passenger Sensing System
on
page 335
and Passenger Airbag
Status Indicator
on page 513
for
more information, including
important safety information.
