SAFETY

To Install A LATCH-Compatible Child

Restraint

If the selected seating position has a Switchable

Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) seat belt, stow

the seat belt, following the instructions below. See

page 185 to check what type of seat belt each

seating position has.
1. Loosen the adjusters on the lower straps and

on the tether strap of the child seat so that

you can more easily attach the hooks or

connectors to the vehicle anchorages.

2. Place the child seat between the lower

anchorages for that seating position. If the

second row seat can be reclined, you may

recline the seat and/or raise the head restraint

(if adjustable) to get a better fit. If the rear seat

can be moved forward and rearward in the

vehicle, you may wish to move it to its

rear-most position to make room for the child

seat. You may also move the front seat forward

to allow more room for the child seat.

3. Attach the lower hooks or connectors of the

child restraint to the lower anchorages in the

selected seating position.

4. If the child restraint has a tether strap, connect

it to the top tether anchorage. See

page 188 for directions to attach a tether

anchor.

5. Tighten all of the straps as you push the child

restraint rearward and downward into the

seat. Remove slack in the straps according to

the child restraint manufacturer’s instructions.

6. Test that the child restraint is installed tightly

by pulling back and forth on the child seat at

the belt path. It should not move more than

1 inch (25.4 mm) in any direction.

How To Stow An Unused Switchable-ALR

(ALR) Seat Belt:

When using the LATCH attaching system to install

a child restraint, stow all ALR seat belts that are not

being used by other occupants or being used to

secure child restraints. An unused belt could injure

a child if they play with it and accidentally lock the

seat belt retractor. Before installing a child

restraint using the LATCH system, buckle the seat

belt behind the child restraint and out of the child’s

reach. If the buckled seat belt interferes with the

child restraint installation, instead of buckling it

behind the child restraint, route the seat belt

through the child restraint belt path and then

buckle it. Do not lock the seat belt. Remind all

children in the vehicle that the seat belts are not

toys and that they should not play with them.

SAFETY

185

Installing Child Restraints Using The

Vehicle Seat Belt

Child restraint systems are designed to be secured

in vehicle seats by lap belts or the lap belt portion

of a lap/shoulder belt.

The seat belts in the passenger seating positions

are equipped with a Switchable Automatic Locking

Retractor (ALR) that is designed to keep the lap

portion of the seat belt tight around the child

restraint so that it is not necessary to use a locking

clip. The ALR retractor can be “switched” into a

locked mode by pulling all of the webbing out of the

retractor and then letting the webbing retract back

into the retractor. If it is locked, the ALR will make

a clicking noise while the webbing is pulled back

into the retractor.
See the “Automatic Locking Mode” description

page 166 for additional information on ALR.

Please see the table below and the following

sections for more information.

SAFETY

187

Installing A Child Restraint With A

Switchable Automatic Locking Retractor

(ALR):

Child restraint systems are designed to be secured

in vehicle seats by lap belts or the lap belt portion

of a lap/shoulder belt.

1. Place the child seat in the center of the

seating position. If the second row seat can

be reclined, you may recline the seat and/or

raise the head restraint (if adjustable) to get a

better fit. If the rear seat can be moved

forward and rearward in the vehicle, you may

wish to move it to its rear-most position to

make room for the child seat. You may also

move the front seat forward to allow more

room for the child seat.

2. Pull enough of the seat belt webbing from the

retractor to pass it through the belt path of the

child restraint. Do not twist the belt webbing in

the belt path.

3. Slide the latch plate into the buckle until you

hear a “click.”

4. Pull on the webbing to make the lap portion

tight against the child seat.

5. To lock the seat belt, pull down on the shoulder

part of the belt until you have pulled all the

seat belt webbing out of the retractor. Then,

allow the webbing to retract back into the

retractor. As the webbing retracts, you will hear

a clicking sound. This means the seat belt is

now in the Automatic Locking mode.

6. Try to pull the webbing out of the retractor. If it

is locked, you should not be able to pull out any

webbing. If the retractor is not locked, repeat

step 5.

7. Finally, pull up on any excess webbing to

tighten the lap portion around the child

restraint while you push the child restraint

rearward and downward into the vehicle seat.

8. If the child restraint has a top tether strap and

the seating position has a top tether

anchorage, connect the tether strap to the

anchorage and tighten the tether strap. See

page 188 for directions to attach a tether

anchor.

9. Test that the child restraint is installed tightly

by pulling back and forth on the child seat at

the belt path. It should not move more than

1 inch (25.4 mm) in any direction.

Any seat belt system will loosen with time, so check

the belt occasionally, and pull it tight if necessary.

WARNING!



Improper installation or failure to properly

secure a child restraint can lead to failure of

the restraint. The child could be badly injured

or killed.



Follow the child restraint manufacturer’s

directions exactly when installing an infant or

child restraint.

SAFETY

Installing Child Restraints Using The Top

Tether Anchorage:

1. Look behind the seating position where you

plan to install the child restraint to find the

tether anchorage. You may need to move the

seat forward to provide better access to the

tether anchorage. If there is no top tether

anchorage for that seating position, move the

child restraint to another position in the

vehicle if one is available.

2. Rotate or lift the cover to access the anchor

directly behind the seat where you are placing

the child restraint.

3. Route the tether strap to provide the most

direct path for the strap between the anchor

and the child seat. If your vehicle is equipped

with adjustable rear head restraints, raise the

head restraint, and where possible, route the

tether strap under the head restraint and

between the two posts. If not possible, lower

the head restraint and pass the tether strap

around the outboard side of the head restraint.

Tether Strap Mounting

4. Attach the tether strap hook of the child

restraint to the top tether anchorage as shown

in the diagram.

5. Remove slack in the tether strap according to

the child restraint manufacturer’s instructions.

WARNING!

Do not attach a tether strap for a rear-facing car

seat to any location in front of the car seat,

including the seat frame or a tether anchorage.

Only attach the tether strap of a rear-facing car

seat to the tether anchorage that is approved for

that seating position, located behind the top of

the vehicle seat. See

WARNING!

Exhaust gases can injure or kill. They contain

carbon monoxide (CO), which is colorless and

odorless. Breathing it can make you

unconscious and can eventually poison you. To

avoid breathing (CO), follow these safety tips:



Do not run the engine in a closed garage or in

confined areas any longer than needed to

move your vehicle in or out of the area.



If you are required to drive with the trunk/lift

gate/rear doors open, make sure that all

windows are closed and the climate control

BLOWER switch is set at high speed. DO NOT

use the recirculation mode.



If it is necessary to sit in a parked vehicle with

the engine running, adjust your heating or

cooling controls to force outside air into the

vehicle. Set the blower at high speed.

192

SAFETY

(Continued)

The best protection against carbon monoxide entry

into the vehicle body is a properly maintained

engine exhaust system.
Whenever a change is noticed in the sound of the

exhaust system, when exhaust fumes can be

detected inside the vehicle, or when the underside

or rear of the vehicle is damaged, have an

authorized dealer inspect the complete exhaust

system and adjacent body areas for broken,

damaged, deteriorated, or mispositioned parts.

Open seams or loose connections could permit

exhaust fumes to seep into the passenger

compartment. In addition, inspect the exhaust

system each time the vehicle is raised for

lubrication or oil change. Replace as required.

WARNING!

Carbon monoxide (CO) in exhaust gases is

deadly. Follow the precautions below to prevent

carbon monoxide poisoning:



Do not inhale exhaust gases. They contain

carbon monoxide, a colorless and odorless

gas, which can kill. Never run the engine in a

closed area, such as a garage, and never sit in

a parked vehicle with the engine running for

an extended period. If the vehicle is stopped in

an open area with the engine running for more

than a short period, adjust the ventilation

system to force fresh, outside air into the

vehicle.



Guard against carbon monoxide with proper

maintenance. Have the exhaust system

inspected every time the vehicle is raised.

Have any abnormal conditions repaired

promptly. Until repaired, drive with all side

Jacking Warning Label

Placement for the front and rear jacking locations

are critical. See the following images for proper

jacking locations.

Jacking Locations

1. Remove the spare tire, jack, and lug wrench.
2. If equipped with aluminum wheels where the

center cap covers the lug nuts, use the lug

wrench to pry the center cap off carefully

before raising the vehicle.

3. Before raising the vehicle, use the lug wrench

to loosen, but not remove, the lug nuts on the

wheel with the flat tire. Turn the lug nuts

counterclockwise one turn while the wheel is

still on the ground.

4. Place the jack underneath the lift area that is

closest to the flat tire. Turn the jack screw

clockwise to firmly engage the jack saddle with

the lift area of the sill flange.



Apply the parking brake firmly and set an auto

matic transmission in PARK.



Chock the wheel diagonally opposite the

wheel to be raised.



Never start or run the engine with the vehicle

on a jack.



Do not let anyone sit in the vehicle when it is

on a jack.



Do not get under the vehicle when it is on a

jack. If you need to get under a raised vehicle,

take it to a service center where it can be

raised on a lift.



Only use the jack in the positions indicated for

lifting this vehicle during a tire change.



If working on or near a roadway, be extremely

careful of motor traffic.



To assure that spare tires, flat or inflated, are

securely stowed, spares must be stowed with

the valve stem facing the ground.

WARNING!

CAUTION!

Do not attempt to raise the vehicle by jacking on

locations other than those indicated in the

Jacking Instructions for this vehicle.
