Child restraints

If you use a child restraint system with a

tether strap, three additional tether an-

chorage points (refer to the arrows in

the illustration) have been provided.

Depending on the location selected for

seating in the rear passenger area, at-

tach the tether strap to the correspond-

ing anchorage point to secure the child

restraint system. Remove the cover first

on the middle location.

If the respective seating position is fit-

ted with a headrest lift the headrest and

pass the tether strap between the

headrest and the seat back.

Adjust the tether strap according to the

child restraint manufacturer's instruc-

tions.

Before installing any child-restraint

device or child seat, please read

the following:

Never install a rear-facing child restraint

system in the front passenger seat of

this car.

Your car is equipped with an airbag

supplemental restraint system for the

front passenger. Because the backrest

on any rear-facing child restraint sys-

tem (of the kind designed for infants un-

der 1 year and 20 lbs./9 kg) would be

within the airbag's deployment range,

you should never mount such a device

in the front passenger seat, as the im-

pact of the airbag against the child re-

straint's backrest could lead to serious

or fatal injuries.

If it is necessary for a child (not an in-

fant) to ride in the front seat, certain

precautions should be taken. First,

move the passenger seat as far away

from the dashboard as possible. This

important precaution is intended to

maximize the distance between the air-

bag and the child. Older children

should be tightly secured with the

safety belt. Younger children should be

secured in an appropriate forward-fac-

ing child restraint system that has first

been properly secured with a safety

belt.

Never install a rear-facing child restraint

system in the front passenger seat.

We strongly urge you to carefully read

and observe the instructions for instal-

lation and use provided by the child re-

straint's manufacturer whenever you

use such a device.

Be sure that all occupants (of all ages)

remain properly and securely restrained

at all times.<

All rear seating positions in your

vehicle meet the recommendations

of SAE J1819, an industry recom-

mended practice for securing child

restraint systems in motor vehicles.
