If the child restraint has a top tether 
strap, follow the child restraint man-
ufacturer’s operation manual 
regarding the installation, using the 
top tether strap to latch onto the 
top tether strap anchor. (

P.57)

After installing the child restraint 
system, rock it back and forth to 
ensure that it is installed securely. 
(

P.54)

When installing in the rear center 
seat

There are no LATCH anchors behind 
the rear center seat. However, the 
inboard LATCH anchors of the out-
board seats, which are 18.1 in. (460 
mm) apart, can be used if the child 
restraint system manufacturer’s 
instructions permit use of those 

anchors with the anchor spacing 
stated.
Child restraint systems with rigid lower 
attachments cannot be installed in the 
center seat. This type of child restraint 
system can only be installed in the out-
board seat.

Laws and regulations pertaining to 

anchors

The LATCH system conforms to 

FMVSS225 or CMVSS210.2.

Child restraint systems conforming to 

FMVSS213 or CMVSS213 specifications 

can be used.

This vehicle is designed to conform to SAE 

J1819.

WARNING

When installing a child restraint sys-

tem

Observe the following precautions.

Failure to do so may result in death or 

serious injury.

When using the LATCH anchors, be 

sure that there are no foreign objects 

around the anchors and that the seat 

belt is not caught behind the child 

restraint system.

Follow all installation instructions pro-

vided by the child restraint system 

manufacturer.

Never attach two child restraint system 

attachments to the same anchor. In a 

collision, one anchor may not be 

strong enough to hold two child 

restraint system attachments and may 

break.

If the LATCH anchors are already in 

use, use the seat belt to install a child 

restraint system in the center seat.

WARNING

When securing some types of child 

restraint systems in rear seats, it may 

not be possible to properly use the 

seat belts in positions next to the child 

restraint without interfering with it or 

affecting seat belt effectiveness. Be 

sure your seat belt fits snugly across 

your shoulder and low on your hips. If it 

does not, or if it interferes with the 

child restraint, move to a different posi-

tion. Failure to do so may result in 

death or serious injury.

When installing a child restraint system 

in the rear center seat, adjust both seat 

cushions to the same position and 

align both seatbacks at the same 

angle. The seatbacks must be adjusted 

to the same angle. Otherwise, the 

child restraint system cannot be 

securely restrained and this may cause 

death or serious injuries in the event of 

sudden braking, sudden swerving or 

an accident.

If the seat is adjusted, reconfirm the 

security of the child restraint system.

Automatic Collision Notification

In case of either airbag deployment or 
severe rear-end collision, the system is 
designed to automatically call the 
response center. The responding agent 
receives the vehicle’s location and 
attempts to speak with the vehicle 
occupants to assess the level of emer-
gency. If the occupants are unable to 
communicate, the agent automatically 
treats the call as an emergency, con-
tacts the nearest emergency services 
provider to describe the situation, and 
requests that assistance be sent to the 

Safety Connect LED light Indi-
cators

Important! Read this information about 
exposure to radio frequency signals 
before using Safety Connect;
The Safety Connect system installed in 
your vehicle is a low-power radio trans-
mitter and receiver. It receives and also 
sends out radio frequency (RF) signals.
In August 1996, the Federal Commu-
nications Commission (FCC) adopted 
RF exposure guidelines with safety lev-
els for mobile wireless phones. Those 
guidelines are consistent with the 
safety standards previously set by the 
following U.S. and international stan-
dards bodies.

ANSI (American National Stan-
dards Institute) C95.1 [1992]

NCRP (National Council on Radia-
tion Protection and Measurement) 
Report 86 [1986]

ICNIRP (International Commission 
on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protec-
tion) [1996]

Those standards were based on com-
prehensive and periodic evaluations of 
the relevant scientific literature. Over

For safety and security

120 scientists, engineers, and physi-
cians from universities, and govern-
ment health agencies and industries 
reviewed the available body of 
research to develop the ANSI Stan-
dard (C95.1).
The design of Safety Connect com-
plies with the FCC guidelines in addi-
tion to those standards.

System maintenance

The vehicle has a maintenance-free type 

engine immobilizer system.

Conditions that may cause the system to 

malfunction

If the grip portion of the key is in contact 

with a metallic object

If the key is in close proximity to or touch-

ing a key registered to the security sys-

tem (key with a built-in transponder chip)

sponder chips that prevent the 
engine from starting if a key has not 
been previously registered in the 
vehicle’s on-board computer.

Never leave the keys inside the 
vehicle when you leave the vehicle.

This system is designed to help pre-
vent vehicle theft but does not 
guarantee absolute security 
against all vehicle thefts.
