7. 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) on
page 1-34 for more information.
For H3T models, if the headrest
interferes with the installation of
the child restraint, remove the
headrest by pressing the button
on the headrest post, at the top of
the seatback and lift to remove.
Store the headrest under the
outboard side of the rear seat.
8. 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. If the
headrest has been removed, reinsert
in onto the seatback.
Securing a Child
Restraint in the Center
Rear Seat Position
Many child restraints are too wide to
be correctly secured in the center
rear seat, although some of
them will fit there. If the center seat
position is too narrow for the
child restraint, secure it in a rear
outside seat position.
If a child restraint is secured in the
center seat position, follow the
instructions in Securing a Child
Restraint in a Rear Outside Seat
Position on page 1-41.
Securing a Child
Restraint in the Right
Front Seat Position
The 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 1-32.
In addition, the vehicle has a
passenger sensing system which is
designed to turn off the right
front passenger frontal airbag under
certain conditions. See Passenger
Sensing System on page 1-54
and Passenger Airbag Status
Indicator on page 3-26 for more
information, including important
safety information.
