Immobilizer Operation

(Key Access)

This vehicle has a passive

theft-deterrent system.

The system does not have to be

manually armed or disarmed.

The vehicle is automatically

immobilized when the key is

removed from the ignition.

The system is automatically

disarmed when the vehicle is

started with the correct key. The key

uses a transponder that matches an

immobilizer control unit in the

vehicle and automatically disarms

the system. The vehicle may not

start if the key is damaged.

The security light in the instrument

cluster, comes on if there is a

problem with arming or disarming

the theft-deterrent system.

When trying to start the vehicle, the

security light comes on briefly when

the ignition is turned on.

If the engine does not start and the

security light stays on, there is a

problem with the system. Turn the

ignition off and try again.

If the engine still does not start and

the key appears to be undamaged

or the light continues to stay on, try

another key.

If the engine still does not start with

the other key, the vehicle needs

service. If the vehicle does start,

the first key may be damaged.

4. Insert the key to be programmed

and turn it to ON/RUN within

10 seconds of the ignition being

turned to LOCK/OFF in Step 3.

5. The security light will turn

off once the key has been

programmed. It may not be

apparent that the security light

went on due to how quickly the

key is programmed.

6. Repeat Steps 1 4 if additional–

keys are to be programmed.

Do not leave the key or device that

disarms or deactivates the theft

deterrent system in the vehicle.

Immobilizer Operation

immobilizer control unit. Only a

correctly matched RKE transmitter

will start the vehicle. If the RKE

transmitter is ever damaged, you

may not be able to start your

vehicle.

When trying to start the vehicle, the

security light comes on briefly when

the ignition is turned on.

Safety Belts

This section of the manual

describes how to use safety belts

properly. It also describes some

things not to do with safety belts.

{Warning

Do not let anyone ride where a

safety belt cannot be worn

properly. In a crash, if you or your

passenger(s) are not wearing

safety belts, injuries can be much

worse than if you are wearing

safety belts. You can be seriously

injured or killed by hitting things

inside the vehicle harder or by

being ejected from the vehicle. In

addition, anyone who is not

buckled up can strike other

passengers in the vehicle.

(Continued)

Warning (Continued)

It is extremely dangerous to ride

in a cargo area, inside or outside

of a vehicle. In a collision,

passengers riding in these areas

are more likely to be seriously

injured or killed. Do not allow

passengers to ride in any area of

the vehicle that is not equipped

with seats and safety belts.

Always wear a safety belt, and

check that all passenger(s) are

restrained properly too.

This vehicle has indicators as a

reminder to buckle the safety belts.

Why Safety Belts Work

When riding in a vehicle, you travel

as fast as the vehicle does. If the

vehicle stops suddenly, you keep

going until something stops you.

It could be the windshield, the

instrument panel, or the safety belts!

When you wear a safety belt, you

and the vehicle slow down together.

There is more time to stop because

you stop over a longer distance and,

when worn properly, your strongest

bones take the forces from the

safety belts. That is why wearing

safety belts makes such good

sense.

Questions and Answers About

Safety Belts

Q: Will I be trapped in the vehicle

after a crash if I am wearing a

safety belt?

A: You be whether you arecould —

wearing a safety belt or not.

Your chance of being conscious

during and after a crash, so you

can unbuckle and get out, is

much greater if you are belted.

Q: If my vehicle has airbags, why

should I have to wear safety

belts?

A: Airbags are supplemental

systems only; so they work with

safety belts not instead of—

them. Whether or not an airbag

is provided, all occupants still

have to buckle up to get the

most protection.

Also, in nearly all states and in

all Canadian provinces, the law

requires wearing safety belts.

How to Wear Safety Belts

Properly

This section is only for people of

adult size.

There are special things to know

about safety belts and children. And

there are different rules for smaller

children and infants. If a child will be

riding in the vehicle, see Older

Children on page 3-33 Infantsor

and Young Children on page 3-35.

Follow those rules for everyone's

protection.

It is very important for all occupants

to buckle up. Statistics show that

unbelted people are hurt more often

in crashes than those who are

wearing safety belts.

6014443) 2014 CRC 4/3/13

3-14 Seats and Restraints

There are important things to know

about wearing a safety belt properly.

. Sit up straight and always keep

your feet on the floor in front

of you.

. Always use the correct buckle

for your seating position.

. Wear the lap part of the belt low

and snug on the hips, just

touching the thighs. In a crash,

this applies force to the strong

pelvic bones and you would be

less likely to slide under the lap

belt. If you slid under it, the belt

would apply force on your

abdomen. This could cause

serious or even fatal injuries.

. Wear the shoulder belt over the

shoulder and across the chest.

These parts of the body are best

able to take belt restraining

forces. The shoulder belt locks if

there is a sudden stop or crash.

{Warning

You can be seriously injured,

or even killed, by not wearing

your safety belt properly.

. Never allow the lap or

shoulder belt to become

loose or twisted.

. Never wear the shoulder belt

under both arms or behind

your back.

. Never route the lap or

shoulder belt over an

armrest.

Lap-Shoulder Belt

All seating positions in the vehicle

have a lap-shoulder belt.

The following instructions explain

how to wear a lap-shoulder belt

properly.

1. Adjust the seat, if the seat is

adjustable, so you can sit up

straight. To see how, see Seats“ ”

in the Index.

2. Pick up the latch plate and pull

the belt across you. Do not let it

get twisted.

The lap-shoulder belt may lock if

you pull the belt across you very

quickly. If this happens, let the

belt go back slightly to unlock it.

Then pull the belt across you

more slowly.

If the shoulder portion of a

passenger belt is pulled out all

the way, the child restraint

locking feature may be engaged.

If this happens, let the belt go

back all the way and start again.

6014443) 2014 CRC 4/3/13

Seats and Restraints 3-15

3. Push the latch plate into the

buckle until it clicks.

Pull up on the latch plate to

make sure it is secure. If the belt

is not long enough, see Safety

Belt Extender on page 3-19.

Position the release button on

the buckle so that the safety belt

could be quickly unbuckled if

necessary.

4. If equipped with a shoulder belt

height adjuster, move it to the

height that is right for you. See

“ ”Shoulder Belt Height Adjuster

later in this section for use and

important safety information.

5. To make the lap part tight, pull

up on the shoulder belt.

It may be necessary to pull

stitching on the safety belt

through the latch plate to fully

tighten the lap belt on smaller

occupants.

To unlatch the belt, push the button

on the buckle. The belt should

return to its stowed position.

Before a door is closed, be sure the

safety belt is out of the way. If a

door is slammed against a safety

belt, damage can occur to both the

safety belt and the vehicle.

Shoulder Belt Height Adjuster

(Sedan and Wagon)

The vehicle has a shoulder belt

height adjuster for the driver and

right front passenger seating

positions.

6014443) 2014 CRC 4/3/13

3-16 Seats and Restraints

Adjust the guide so the shoulder

portion of the belt is on the shoulder

and not falling off of it. The belt

should be close to, but not

contacting, the neck. Improper

shoulder belt height adjustment

could reduce the effectiveness of

the safety belt in a crash. See How

to Wear Safety Belts Properly on

page 3-13.

Push down on the release button

and move the height adjuster to the

desired position. The adjuster can

be moved up by pushing up on the

shoulder belt guide.

After the height adjuster is set to the

desired position, try to move it down

without pressing the release button

to make sure it has locked into

position.

Safety Belt Pretensioners

This vehicle has safety belt

pretensioners for front outboard

occupants. Although the safety belt

pretensioners cannot be seen, they

are part of the safety belt assembly.

They can help tighten the safety

belts during the early stages of a

moderate to severe frontal or near

frontal crash if the threshold

conditions for pretensioner

activation are met. And, if the

vehicle has side impact airbags,

safety belt pretensioners can help

tighten the safety belts in a side or

rear crash or rollover event.

Pretensioners work only once. If the

pretensioners activate in a crash,

the pretensioners and possibly other

parts of the safety belt system will

need to be replaced. See Replacing

Safety Belt System Parts after a

Crash on page 3-19.

Rear Safety Belt Comfort

Guides

This vehicle may have rear shoulder

belt comfort guides. If not, they are

available through your dealer. The

guides may provide added safety

belt comfort for older children who

have outgrown booster seats and

for some adults. When installed and

properly adjusted, the comfort guide

positions the shoulder belt away

from the neck and head.

6014443) 2014 CRC 4/3/13

Seats and Restraints 3-17

Here is how to install a comfort

guide to the safety belt:

1. Pull the elastic cord out from

between the edge of the

seatback and the interior body to

remove the guide from its

storage clip.

2. Place the guide over the belt

and insert the two edges of the

belt into the slots of the guide.

3. Be sure that the belt is not

twisted and it lies flat. The

elastic cord must be under the

belt and the guide on top.

6014443) 2014 CRC 4/3/13

3-18 Seats and Restraints

{Warning

A safety belt that is not properly

worn may not provide the

protection needed in a crash. The

person wearing the belt could be

seriously injured. The shoulder

belt should go over the shoulder

and across the chest. These parts

of the body are best able to take

belt restraining forces.

4. Buckle, position, and release

the safety belt as described

previously in this section. Make

sure the shoulder portion of the

belt is on the shoulder and not

falling off of it. The belt should

be close to, but not contacting,

the neck.

To remove and store the comfort

guide, squeeze the belt edges

together so that the safety belt can

be removed from the guide. Pull the

guide upward to expose its storage

clip, and then slide the guide onto

the clip. Turn the guide and clip

inward and slide them in between

the seatback and the interior body,

leaving only the loop of the elastic

cord exposed.

Safety Belt Use During

Pregnancy

Safety belts work for everyone,

including pregnant women. Like all

occupants, they are more likely to

be seriously injured if they do not

wear safety belts.

A pregnant woman should wear a

lap-shoulder belt, and the lap

portion should be worn as low as

possible, below the rounding,

throughout the pregnancy.

The best way to protect the fetus is

to protect the mother. When a safety

belt is worn properly, it is more likely

that the fetus will not be hurt in a

crash. For pregnant women, as for

anyone, the key to making safety

belts effective is wearing them

properly.

6014443) 2014 CRC 4/3/13

Seats and Restraints 3-19

Safety Belt Extender

If the vehicle's safety belt will fasten

around you, you should use it.

But if a safety belt is not long

enough, your dealer will order you

an extender. When you go in to

order it, take the heaviest coat you

will wear, so the extender will be

long enough for you. To help avoid

personal injury, do not let someone

else use it, and use it only for the

seat it is made to fit. The extender

has been designed for adults. Never

use it for securing child seats. To

wear it, attach it to the regular safety

belt. See the instruction sheet that

comes with the extender.

Safety System Check

Now and then, check that the safety

belt reminder light, safety belts,

buckles, latch plates, retractors, and

anchorages are all working properly.

Look for any other loose or

damaged safety belt system parts

that might keep a safety belt system

from doing its job. See your dealer

to have it repaired. Torn or frayed

safety belts may not protect you in a

crash. They can rip apart under

impact forces. If a belt is torn or

frayed, get a new one right away.

Make sure the safety belt reminder

light is working. See Safety Belt

Reminders on page 5-16.

Keep safety belts clean and dry.

See .Safety Belt Care on page 3-19

Safety Belt Care

Keep belts clean and dry.

{Warning

Do not bleach or dye safety belts.

It may severely weaken them. In

a crash, they might not be able to

provide adequate protection.

Clean safety belts only with mild

soap and lukewarm water.

Replacing Safety Belt

System Parts after a

Crash

{Warning

A crash can damage the safety

belt system in the vehicle.

A damaged safety belt system

may not properly protect the

person using it, resulting in

serious injury or even death in a

crash. To help make sure the

safety belt systems are working

properly after a crash, have them

inspected and any necessary

replacements made as soon as

possible.

After a minor crash, replacement of

safety belts may not be necessary.

But the safety belt assemblies that

were used during any crash may

have been stressed or damaged.

6014443) 2014 CRC 4/3/13

3-20 Seats and Restraints

See your dealer to have the safety

belt assemblies inspected or

replaced.

New parts and repairs may be

necessary even if the safety belt

system was not being used at the

time of the crash.

Have the safety belt pretensioners

checked if the vehicle has been in a

crash, or if the airbag readiness light

stays on after you start the vehicle

or while you are driving. See Airbag

Readiness Light on page 5-17.

Airbag System

The vehicle has the following

airbags:

. A frontal airbag for the driver.

. A frontal airbag for the outboard

front passenger.

. A seat-mounted side impact

airbag for the driver.

. A seat-mounted side impact

airbag for the outboard front

passenger.

. A roof-rail airbag for the driver

and the passenger seated

directly behind the driver.

. A roof-rail airbag for the

outboard front passenger and

the passenger seated directly

behind the outboard front

passenger.

All vehicle airbags have the word

AIRBAG on the trim or on a label

near the deployment opening.

For frontal airbags, the word

AIRBAG is on the center of the

steering wheel for the driver and on

the instrument panel for the front

outboard passenger.

For seat-mounted side impact

airbags, the word AIRBAG is on the

side of the seatback closest to

the door.

For roof-rail airbags, the word

AIRBAG is on the ceiling or trim.

Airbags are designed to supplement

the protection provided by safety

belts. Even though today's airbags

are also designed to help reduce

the risk of injury from the force of an

inflating bag, all airbags must inflate

very quickly to do their job.

6014443) 2014 CRC 4/3/13

Seats and Restraints 3-21

Here are the most important things

to know about the airbag system:

{Warning

You can be severely injured or

killed in a crash if you are not

wearing your safety belt, even

with airbags. Airbags are

designed to work with safety

belts, not replace them. Also,

airbags are not designed to inflate

in every crash. In some crashes

safety belts are the only restraint.

See When Should an Airbag

Inflate? on page 3-23.

Wearing your safety belt during a

crash helps reduce the chance of

hitting things inside the vehicle or

being ejected from it. Airbags are

“ ”supplemental restraints to the

safety belts. Everyone in the

vehicle should wear a safety belt

properly, whether or not there is

an airbag for that person.

{Warning

Because airbags inflate with great

force and faster than the blink of

an eye, anyone who is up

against, or very close to any

airbag when it inflates can be

seriously injured or killed. Do not

sit unnecessarily close to any

airbag, as you would be if sitting

on the edge of the seat or leaning

forward. Safety belts help keep

you in position before and during

a crash. Always wear a safety

belt, even with airbags. The driver

should sit as far back as possible

while still maintaining control of

the vehicle.

Occupants should not lean on or

sleep against the door or side

windows in seating positions with

seat-mounted side impact airbags

and/or roof-rail airbags.

{Warning

Children who are up against,

or very close to, any airbag when

it inflates can be seriously injured

or killed. Always secure children

properly in the vehicle. To read

how, see Older Children on

page 3-33 Infants and Youngor

Children on page 3-35.

There is an airbag readiness light

on the instrument cluster, which

shows the airbag symbol. The

system checks the airbag electrical

system for malfunctions. The light

tells you if there is an electrical

problem. See Airbag Readiness

Light on page 5-17 for more

information.

clear. Do not put anything

between an occupant and an

airbag, and do not attach or put

anything on the steering wheel

hub or on or near any other

airbag covering.

Do not use seat accessories that

block the inflation path of a

seat-mounted side impact airbag.

Never secure anything to the roof

of a vehicle with roof-rail airbags

by routing a rope or tie down‐

through any door or window

opening. If you do, the path of an

inflating roof-rail airbag will be

blocked.

When Should an Airbag

Inflate?

This vehicle is equipped with

airbags. See Airbag System on

page 3-20. Airbags are designed to

inflate if the impact exceeds the

specific airbag system's deployment

threshold. Deployment thresholds

are used to predict how severe a

crash is likely to be in time for the

airbags to inflate and help restrain

the occupants. The vehicle has

electronic sensors that help the

airbag system determine the

severity of the impact. Deployment

thresholds can vary with specific

vehicle design.

Frontal airbags are designed to

inflate in moderate to severe frontal

or near frontal crashes to help

reduce the potential for severe

injuries, mainly to the driver's or

front outboard passenger's head

and chest.

Whether the frontal airbags will or

should inflate is not based primarily

on how fast the vehicle is traveling.

6014443) 2014 CRC 4/3/13

3-24 Seats and Restraints

It depends on what is hit, the

direction of the impact, and how

quickly the vehicle slows down.

Frontal airbags may inflate at

different crash speeds depending on

whether the vehicle hits an object

straight on or at an angle, and

whether the object is fixed or

moving, rigid or deformable, narrow

or wide.

Frontal airbags are not intended to

inflate during vehicle rollovers, rear

impacts, or in many side impacts.

In addition, the vehicle has

advanced technology frontal

airbags. Advanced technology

frontal airbags adjust the restraint

according to crash severity.

Seat-mounted side impact airbags

are designed to inflate in moderate

to severe side crashes depending

on the location of the impact.

Seat-mounted side impact airbags

are not designed to inflate in frontal

impacts, near frontal impacts,

rollovers, or rear impacts.

A seat-mounted side impact airbag

is designed to inflate on the side of

the vehicle that is struck.

Roof-rail airbags are designed to

inflate in moderate to severe side

crashes depending on the location

of the impact. In addition, these

roof-rail airbags are designed to

inflate during a rollover or in a

severe frontal impact. Roof-rail

airbags are not designed to inflate in

rear impacts. Both roof-rail airbags

will inflate when either side of the

vehicle is struck, if the sensing

system predicts that the vehicle is

about to roll over on its side, or in a

severe frontal impact.

In any particular crash, no one can

say whether an airbag should have

inflated simply because of the

vehicle damage or repair costs.

What Makes an Airbag

Inflate?

In a deployment event, the sensing

system sends an electrical signal

triggering a release of gas from the

inflator. Gas from the inflator fills the

airbag causing the bag to break out

of the cover. The inflator, the airbag,

and related hardware are all part of

the airbag module.

For airbag locations, see Where Are

the Airbags? on page 3-22.

How Does an Airbag

Restrain?

In moderate to severe frontal or

near frontal collisions, even belted

occupants can contact the steering

wheel or the instrument panel. In

moderate to severe side collisions,

even belted occupants can contact

the inside of the vehicle.

6014443) 2014 CRC 4/3/13

Seats and Restraints 3-25

Airbags supplement the protection

provided by safety belts by

distributing the force of the

impact more evenly over the

occupant's body.

Rollover capable roof-rail airbags

are designed to help contain the

head and chest of occupants in the

outboard seating positions in the

first and second rows. The rollover

capable roof-rail airbags are

designed to help reduce the risk of

full or partial ejection in rollover

events, although no system can

prevent all such ejections.

But airbags would not help in many

types of collisions, primarily

because the occupant's motion is

not toward those airbags. See When

Should an Airbag Inflate? on

page 3-23.

Airbags should never be regarded

as anything more than a supplement

to safety belts.

What Will You See after

an Airbag Inflates?

After the frontal airbags and

seat-mounted side impact airbags

inflate, they quickly deflate, so

quickly that some people may not

even realize an airbag inflated.

Roof-rail airbags may still be at least

partially inflated for some time after

they inflate. Some components of

the airbag module may be hot for

several minutes. For location of the

airbags, see Where Are the

Airbags? on page 3-22.

The parts of the airbag that come

into contact with you may be warm,

but not too hot to touch. There may

be some smoke and dust coming

from the vents in the deflated

airbags. Airbag inflation does not

prevent the driver from seeing out of

the windshield or being able to steer

the vehicle, nor does it prevent

people from leaving the vehicle.

{Warning

When an airbag inflates, there

may be dust in the air. This dust

could cause breathing problems

for people with a history of

asthma or other breathing trouble.

To avoid this, everyone in the

vehicle should get out as soon as

it is safe to do so. If you have

breathing problems but cannot

get out of the vehicle after an

airbag inflates, then get fresh air

by opening a window or a door.

If you experience breathing

problems following an airbag

deployment, you should seek

medical attention.

The vehicle has a feature that

may automatically unlock the

doors, turn on the interior lamps,

turn on the hazard warning

flashers, and shut off the fuel

system after the airbags inflate.

6014443) 2014 CRC 4/3/13

3-26 Seats and Restraints

You can lock the doors, turn off the

interior lamps, and turn off the

hazard warning flashers by using

the controls for those features.

{Warning

A crash severe enough to inflate

the airbags may have also

damaged important functions in

the vehicle, such as the fuel

system, brake and steering

systems, etc. Even if the vehicle

appears to be drivable after a

moderate crash, there may be

concealed damage that could

make it difficult to safely operate

the vehicle.

Use caution if you should attempt

to restart the engine after a crash

has occurred.

In many crashes severe enough to

inflate the airbag, windshields are

broken by vehicle deformation.

Additional windshield breakage may

also occur from the front outboard

passenger airbag.

. Airbags are designed to inflate

only once. After an airbag

inflates, you will need some new

parts for the airbag system.

If you do not get them, the

airbag system will not be there

to help protect you in another

crash. A new system will include

airbag modules and possibly

other parts. The service manual

for the vehicle covers the need

to replace other parts.

. The vehicle has a crash sensing

and diagnostic module which

records information after a

crash. See Vehicle Data

Recording and Privacy on

page 13-14 Event Dataand

Recorders on page 13-14.

. Let only qualified technicians

Passenger Sensing

System

The vehicle has a passenger

sensing system for the front

outboard passenger position. The

passenger airbag status indicator

will be visible on the instrument

panel when the vehicle is started.

United States

6014443) 2014 CRC 4/3/13

Seats and Restraints 3-27

Canada and Mexico

The words ON and OFF, or the

symbol for on and off, are visible

during the system check. When the

system check is complete, either the

word ON or OFF, or the symbol for

on or off, will be visible. See

Passenger Airbag Status Indicator

on page 5-18.

The passenger sensing system

turns off the front outboard

passenger frontal airbag under

certain conditions. No other airbag

is affected by the passenger

sensing system.

The passenger sensing system

works with sensors that are part of

the front outboard passenger seat.

The sensors are designed to detect

the presence of a properly-seated

occupant and determine if the front

outboard passenger frontal airbag

should be allowed to inflate or not.

According to accident statistics,

children are safer when properly

secured in a rear seat in the correct

child restraint for their weight

and size.

Whenever possible, children age

12 and under should be secured in

a rear seating position.

Never put a rear-facing child seat in

the front. This is because the risk to

the rear-facing child is so great,

if the airbag inflates.

{Warning

A child in a rear-facing child

restraint can be seriously injured

or killed if the passenger frontal

airbag inflates. This is because

the back of the rear-facing child

restraint would be very close to

the inflating airbag. A child in a

system is fail-safe. No one can

guarantee that an airbag will not

inflate under some unusual

circumstance, even though the

airbag is off.

Secure rear-facing child restraints

in a rear seat, even if the airbag

is off. If you secure a

forward-facing child restraint in

the front outboard passenger

seat, always move the seat as far

back as it will go. It is better to

secure the child restraint in a

rear seat.

6014443) 2014 CRC 4/3/13

3-28 Seats and Restraints

The passenger sensing system is

designed to turn off the front

outboard passenger frontal airbag if:

. The front outboard passenger

seat is unoccupied.

. The system determines that an

infant is present in a child

restraint.

. A front outboard passenger

takes his/her weight off of the

seat for a period of time.

. There is a critical problem with

the airbag system or the

passenger sensing system.

When the passenger sensing

system has turned off the front

outboard passenger frontal airbag,

the off indicator will light and stay lit

to remind you that the airbag is off.

See Passenger Airbag Status

Indicator on page 5-18.

The passenger sensing system is

designed to turn on the front

outboard passenger frontal airbag

anytime the system senses that a

person of adult size is sitting

properly in the front outboard

passenger seat.

When the passenger sensing

system has allowed the airbag to be

enabled, the on indicator will light

and stay lit to remind you that the

airbag is active.

For some children, including

children in child restraints, and for

very small adults, the passenger

sensing system may or may not turn

off the front outboard passenger

frontal airbag, depending upon the

person s seating posture and body’

build. Everyone in the vehicle who

has outgrown child restraints should

wear a safety belt properly —

whether or not there is an airbag for

that person.

{Warning

If the airbag readiness light ever

comes on and stays on, it means

that something may be wrong

with the airbag system. To help

avoid injury to yourself or others,

have the vehicle serviced right

away. See Airbag Readiness

Light on page 5-17 for more

information, including important

safety information.

If the On Indicator is Lit for a

Child Restraint

The passenger sensing system is

designed to turn off the front

outboard passenger frontal airbag if

the system determines that an infant

is present in a child restraint. If a

child restraint has been installed

and the on indicator is lit:

1. Turn the vehicle off.

2. Remove the child restraint from

the vehicle.

6014443) 2014 CRC 4/3/13

Seats and Restraints 3-29

3. Remove any additional items

from the seat such as blankets,

cushions, seat covers, seat

heaters, or seat massagers.

4. Reinstall the child restraint

following the directions provided

by the child restraint

manufacturer and refer to

Securing Child Restraints (Front

Passenger Seat) on page 3-49

or Securing Child Restraints

(Rear Seat) on page 3-47.

5. If, after reinstalling the child

restraint and restarting the

vehicle, the on indicator is still lit,

turn the vehicle off. Then slightly

recline the vehicle seatback and

adjust the seat cushion,

if adjustable, to make sure that

the vehicle seatback is not

pushing the child restraint into

the seat cushion.

Also make sure the child

restraint is not trapped under the

vehicle head restraint. If this

happens, adjust the head

restraint. See Head Restraints

on page 3-2.

6. Restart the vehicle.

The passenger sensing system

may or may not turn off the

airbag for a child in a child

restraint depending upon the

child s size. It is better to secure’

the child restraint in a rear seat.

If the Off Indicator is Lit for an

Adult-Sized Occupant

If a person of adult size is sitting in

the front outboard passenger seat,

but the off indicator is lit, it could be

because that person is not sitting

properly in the seat. If this happens,

use the following steps to allow the

system to detect that person and

enable the front outboard passenger

frontal airbag:

1. Turn the vehicle off.

6014443) 2014 CRC 4/3/13

3-30 Seats and Restraints

2. Remove any additional items

from the seat such as blankets,

cushions, seat covers, seat

heaters, or seat massagers.

3. Place the seatback in the fully

upright position.

4. Have the person sit upright in

the seat, centered on the seat

cushion, with legs comfortably

extended.

5. Restart the vehicle and have the

person remain in this position for

two to three minutes after the on

indicator is lit.

{Warning

If the front outboard passenger

airbag is turned off for an

adult-sized occupant, the airbag

will not be able to inflate and help

protect that person in a crash,

resulting in an increased risk of

serious injury or even death. An

adult-sized occupant should not

(Continued)

Warning (Continued)

ride in the front outboard

passenger seat, if the passenger

airbag off indicator is lit.

Additional Factors Affecting

System Operation

Safety belts help keep the

passenger in position on the

seat during vehicle maneuvers

and braking, which helps the

passenger sensing system maintain

the passenger airbag status.

See Safety Belts and Child“ ” “

Restraints in the Index for”

additional information about the

importance of proper restraint use.

A thick layer of additional material,

such as a blanket or cushion,

or aftermarket equipment such as

seat covers, seat heaters, and

seat massagers can affect how well

the passenger sensing system

operates. We recommend that

you not use seat covers or other

aftermarket equipment except when

approved by GM for your specific

vehicle. See Adding Equipment to

the Airbag-Equipped Vehicle on

page 3-31 for more information

about modifications that can affect

how the system operates.

A wet seat can affect the

performance of the passenger

sensing system. Here is how:

. The passenger sensing system

may turn off the passenger

airbag when liquid is soaked into

the seat. If this happens, the off

indicator will be lit, and the

airbag readiness light on the

instrument panel will also be lit.

. Liquid pooled on the seat that

has not soaked in may make it

more likely that the passenger

sensing system will turn on the

passenger airbag while a child

restraint or child occupant is on

the seat. If the passenger airbag

is turned on, the on indicator will

be lit.

6014443) 2014 CRC 4/3/13

Seats and Restraints 3-31

If the passenger seat gets wet, dry

the seat immediately. If the airbag

readiness light is lit, do not install a

child restraint or allow anyone to

occupy the seat. See Airbag

Readiness Light on page 5-17 for

important safety information.

The on indicator may be lit if an

object, such as a briefcase,

handbag, grocery bag, laptop or

other electronic device, is put on an

unoccupied seat. If this is not

desired remove the object from

the seat.

{Warning

Stowing of articles under the

passenger seat or between the

passenger seat cushion and

seatback may interfere with the

proper operation of the passenger

sensing system.

Servicing the

Airbag-Equipped Vehicle

Airbags affect how the vehicle

should be serviced. There are parts

of the airbag system in several

places around the vehicle. Your

dealer and the service manual have

information about servicing the

vehicle and the airbag system. To

purchase a service manual, see

Service Publications Ordering

Information on page 13-11.

{Warning

For up to 10 seconds after the

vehicle is turned off and the

battery is disconnected, an airbag

can still inflate during improper

service. You can be injured if you

are close to an airbag when it

inflates. Avoid yellow connectors.

They are probably part of the

airbag system. Be sure to follow

(Continued)

Warning (Continued)

proper service procedures, and

make sure the person performing

work for you is qualified to do so.

Adding Equipment to the

Airbag-Equipped Vehicle

Adding accessories that change the

vehicle's frame, bumper system,

height, front end, or side sheet

metal, may keep the airbag system

from working properly. The

operation of the airbag system can

also be affected by changing or

moving any parts of the front seats,

safety belts, the airbag sensing and

diagnostic module, steering wheel,

instrument panel, roof-rail airbag

modules, ceiling headliner or pillar

garnish trim, front sensors, side

impact sensors, or airbag wiring.

6014443) 2014 CRC 4/3/13

3-32 Seats and Restraints

Your dealer and the service manual

have information about the location

of the airbag sensors, sensing and

diagnostic module, and airbag

wiring.

In addition, the vehicle has a

passenger sensing system for the

front outboard passenger position,

which includes sensors that are

part of the passenger seat. The

passenger sensing system may not

operate properly if the original seat

trim is replaced with non-GM

covers, upholstery, or trim; or with

GM covers, upholstery, or trim

designed for a different vehicle. Any

object, such as an aftermarket seat

heater or a comfort-enhancing pad

or device, installed under or on top

of the seat fabric, could also

interfere with the operation of the

passenger sensing system. This

could either prevent proper

deployment of the passenger

airbag(s) or prevent the passenger

sensing system from properly

turning off the passenger airbag(s).

See Passenger Sensing System on

page 3-26.

If the vehicle has rollover roof-rail

airbags, see Different Size Tires

and Wheels on page 10-81 for

additional important information.

If you have to modify your vehicle

because you have a disability and

you have questions about whether

the modifications will affect the

vehicle's airbag system, or if you

have questions about whether the

airbag system will be affected if the

vehicle is modified for any other

reason, call Customer Assistance.

See Customer Assistance Offices

on page 13-3.

Airbag System Check

The airbag system does not need

regularly scheduled maintenance or

replacement. Make sure the airbag

readiness light is working. See

Airbag Readiness Light on

page 5-17.

{Caution

If an airbag covering is damaged,

opened, or broken, the airbag

may not work properly. Do not

open or break the airbag

coverings. If there are any

opened or broken airbag

coverings, have the airbag

covering and/or airbag module

replaced. For the location of the

airbags, see Where Are the

Airbags? on page 3-22. See your

dealer for service.

possible.

If an airbag inflates, you will need to

replace airbag system parts. See

your dealer for service.

If the airbag readiness light stays on

after the vehicle is started or comes

on when you are driving, the airbag

system may not work properly. Have

the vehicle serviced right away. See

Airbag Readiness Light on

page 5-17.

Child Restraints

Older Children

Older children who have outgrown

booster seats should wear the

vehicle safety belts.

The manufacturer instructions that

come with the booster seat state the

weight and height limitations for that

booster. Use a booster seat with a

lap-shoulder belt until the child

passes the fit test below:

. Sit all the way back on the seat.

Do the knees bend at the seat

edge? If yes, continue. If no,

return to the booster seat.

. Buckle the lap-shoulder belt.

Does the shoulder belt rest on

the shoulder? If yes, continue.

If no, try using the rear safety

belt comfort guide. See Rear“

Safety Belt Comfort Guides”

under Lap-Shoulder Belt on

page 3-14. If the shoulder belt

still does not rest on the

shoulder, then return to the

booster seat.

. Does the lap belt fit low and

snug on the hips, touching the

thighs? If yes, continue. If no,

return to the booster seat.

6014443) 2014 CRC 4/3/13

3-34 Seats and Restraints

. Can proper safety belt fit be

maintained for the length of the

trip? If yes, continue. If no,

return to the booster seat.

Q: What is the proper way to

wear safety belts?

A: An older child should wear a

lap-shoulder belt and get the

additional restraint a shoulder

belt can provide. The shoulder

belt should not cross the face or

neck. The lap belt should fit

snugly below the hips, just

touching the top of the thighs.

This applies belt force to the

child's pelvic bones in a crash.

It should never be worn over the

abdomen, which could cause

severe or even fatal internal

injuries in a crash.

Also see Rear Safety Belt Comfort“

Guides under”Lap-Shoulder Belt on

page 3-14.

According to accident statistics,

children are safer when properly

restrained in a rear seating position.

In a crash, children who are not

buckled up can strike other people

who are buckled up, or can be

thrown out of the vehicle. Older

children need to use safety belts

properly.

{Warning

Never allow more than one child

to wear the same safety belt. The

safety belt cannot properly spread

the impact forces. In a crash, they

can be crushed together and

seriously injured. A safety belt

must be used by only one person

at a time.

{Warning

Never allow a child to wear the

safety belt with the shoulder belt

behind their back. A child can be

seriously injured by not wearing

the lap-shoulder belt properly. In a

crash, the child would not be

restrained by the shoulder belt.

The child could move too far

forward increasing the chance of

head and neck injury. The child

might also slide under the lap

(Continued)

6014443) 2014 CRC 4/3/13

Seats and Restraints 3-35

Warning (Continued)

belt. The belt force would then be

applied right on the abdomen.

That could cause serious or fatal

injuries. The shoulder belt should

go over the shoulder and across

the chest.

Infants and Young

Children

Everyone in a vehicle needs

protection! This includes infants and

all other children. Neither the

distance traveled nor the age and

size of the traveler changes the

need, for everyone, to use safety

restraints. In fact, the law in every

state in the United States and in

every Canadian province says

children up to some age must be

restrained while in a vehicle.

{Warning

Children can be seriously injured

or strangled if a shoulder belt is

wrapped around their neck and

the safety belt continues to

tighten. Never leave children

unattended in a vehicle and never

allow children to play with the

safety belts.

Every time infants and young

children ride in vehicles, they should

have the protection provided by

appropriate child restraints. Neither

the vehicle's safety belt system nor

its airbag system is designed

for them.

Children who are not restrained

properly can strike other people,

or can be thrown out of the vehicle.

6014443) 2014 CRC 4/3/13

3-36 Seats and Restraints

{Warning

Never hold an infant or a child

while riding in a vehicle. Due to

crash forces, an infant or a child

will become so heavy it is not

possible to hold it during a crash.

For example, in a crash at only

40 km/h (25 mph), a 5.5 kg (12 lb)

infant will suddenly become a

110 kg (240 lb) force on a person's

arms. An infant should be

secured in an appropriate

restraint.

{Warning

Children who are up against,

or very close to, any airbag when

it inflates can be seriously injured

or killed. Never put a rear-facing

child restraint in the right front

seat. Secure a rear-facing child

restraint in a rear seat. It is also

better to secure a forward-facing

child restraint in a rear seat. If you

must secure a forward-facing

child restraint in the right front

(Continued)

Warning (Continued)

seat, always move the front

passenger seat as far back as it

will go.

Q: What are the different types of

add-on child restraints?

A: Add-on child restraints, which

are purchased by the vehicle

owner, are available in four basic

types. Selection of a particular

restraint should take into

consideration not only the child's

6014443) 2014 CRC 4/3/13

Seats and Restraints 3-37

weight, height, and age but also

whether or not the restraint will

be compatible with the motor

vehicle in which it will be used.

For most basic types of child

restraints, there are many

different models available. When

purchasing a child restraint, be

sure it is designed to be used in

a motor vehicle. If it is, the

restraint will have a label saying

that it meets federal motor

vehicle safety standards.

The restraint manufacturer

instructions that come with the

restraint state the weight and

height limitations for a particular

child restraint. In addition, there

are many kinds of restraints

available for children with

special needs.

{Warning

To reduce the risk of neck and

head injury during a crash, infants

need complete support. In a

crash, if an infant is in a

rear-facing child restraint, the

crash forces can be distributed

across the strongest part of an

infant's body, the back and

shoulders. Infants should always

be secured in rear-facing child

restraints.

{Warning

A young child's hip bones are still

so small that the vehicle's regular

safety belt may not remain low on

the hip bones, as it should.

Instead, it may settle up around

the child's abdomen. In a crash,

the belt would apply force on a

body area that is unprotected by

any bony structure. This alone

could cause serious or fatal

injuries. To reduce the risk of

serious or fatal injuries during a

crash, young children should

always be secured in appropriate

child restraints.

3-38 Seats and Restraints

Child Restraint Systems

Rear-Facing Infant Seat

A rear-facing infant seat provides

restraint with the seating surface

against the back of the infant.

The harness system holds the infant

in place and, in a crash, acts to

keep the infant positioned in the

restraint.

Forward-Facing Child Seat

A forward-facing child seat provides

restraint for the child's body with the

harness.

Booster Seats

A booster seat is a child restraint

designed to improve the fit of the

vehicle's safety belt system.

A booster seat can also help a child

to see out the window.

Securing an Add-On Child

Restraint in the Vehicle

{Warning

A child can be seriously injured or

killed in a crash if the child

restraint is not properly secured in

the vehicle. Secure the child

restraint properly in the vehicle

using the vehicle safety belt or

LATCH system, following the

instructions that came with that

child restraint and the instructions

in this manual.

To help reduce the chance of injury,

the child restraint must be secured

in the vehicle. Child restraint

systems must be secured in vehicle

seats by lap belts or the lap belt

portion of a lap-shoulder belt, or by

the LATCH system. See Lower

Anchors and Tethers for Children

(LATCH System) on page 3-41.

Children can be endangered in a

crash if the child restraint is not

properly secured in the vehicle.

When securing an add-on child

restraint, refer to the instructions

that come with the restraint which

may be on the restraint itself or in a

booklet, or both, and to this manual.

The child restraint instructions are

important, so if they are not

available, obtain a replacement

copy from the manufacturer.

Keep in mind that an unsecured

child restraint can move around in a

collision or sudden stop and injure

people in the vehicle. Be sure to

properly secure any child restraint in

the vehicle even when no child is—

in it.

In some areas of the United States

and Canada, Certified Child

Passenger Safety Technicians

(CPSTs) are available to inspect

and demonstrate how to correctly

use and install child restraints. In

the U.S., refer to the National

Highway Traffic Safety

Administration (NHTSA) website to

locate the nearest child safety seat

inspection station. For CPST

availability in Canada, check with

Transport Canada or the Provincial

Ministry of Transportation office.

Securing the Child Within the

Child Restraint

{Warning

A child can be seriously injured or

killed in a crash if the child is not

properly secured in the child

restraint. Secure the child

properly following the instructions

that came with that child restraint.

Where to Put the

Restraint

According to accident statistics,

children and infants are safer when

properly restrained in a child

restraint system or infant restraint

system secured in a rear seating

position.

6014443) 2014 CRC 4/3/13

3-40 Seats and Restraints

Whenever possible, children aged

12 and under should be secured in

a rear seating position.

Never put a rear-facing child seat in

the front. This is because the risk to

the rear-facing child is so great if the

airbag deploys.

{Warning

A child in a rear-facing child

restraint can be seriously injured

or killed if the front passenger

airbag inflates. This is because

the back of the rear-facing child

restraint would be very close to

the inflating airbag. A child in a

forward-facing child restraint can

be seriously injured or killed if the

front passenger airbag inflates

and the passenger seat is in a

forward position.

Even if the passenger sensing

system has turned off the front

passenger frontal airbag, no

(Continued)

Warning (Continued)

system is fail-safe. No one can

guarantee that an airbag will not

deploy under some unusual

circumstance, even though it is

turned off.

Secure rear-facing child restraints

in a rear seat, even if the airbag

is off. If you secure a

forward-facing child restraint in

the front seat, always move the

front passenger seat as far back

as it will go. It is better to secure

the child restraint in a rear seat.

See Passenger Sensing System

on page 3-26 for additional

information.

When securing a child restraint in a

rear seating position, study the

instructions that came with the child

restraint to make sure it is

compatible with this vehicle.

Child restraints and booster seats

vary considerably in size, and some

may fit in certain seating positions

better than others. Always make

sure the child restraint is properly

secured.

Depending on where you place the

child restraint and the size of the

child restraint, you may not be able

to access adjacent safety belt

assemblies or LATCH anchors for

additional passengers or child

restraints. Adjacent seating

positions should not be used if the

child restraint prevents access to or

interferes with the routing of the

safety belt.

Wherever a child restraint is

installed, be sure to secure the child

restraint properly.

Keep in mind that an unsecured

child restraint can move around in a

collision or sudden stop and injure

people in the vehicle. Be sure to

properly secure any child restraint in

the vehicle even when no child is—

in it.

6014443) 2014 CRC 4/3/13

Seats and Restraints 3-41

Lower Anchors and

Tethers for Children

(LATCH System)

The LATCH system secures a child

restraint during driving or in a crash.

LATCH attachments on the child

restraint are used to attach the child

restraint to the anchors in the

vehicle. This system is designed to

make installation of a child restraint

easier.

In order to use the LATCH system in

your vehicle, you need a child

restraint that has LATCH

attachments. LATCH-compatible

rear-facing and forward-facing child

seats can be properly installed

using either the LATCH anchors or

the vehicle s safety belts. Do not’

use both the safety belts and the

LATCH anchorage system to secure

a rear-facing or forward-facing

child seat.

Booster seats use the vehicle s’

safety belts to secure the child in

the booster seat. If the manufacturer

recommends that the booster seat

be secured with the LATCH system,

this can be done as long as the

booster seat can be positioned

properly and there is no interference

with the proper positioning of the

lap-shoulder belt on the child.

Make sure to follow the instructions

that came with the child restraint,

and also the instructions in this

manual.

When installing a child restraint with

a top tether, you must also use

either the lower anchors or the

safety belts to properly secure the

child restraint. A child restraint must

never be installed using only the top

tether and anchor.

The LATCH anchorage system can

be used until the combined weight

of the child plus the child restraint is

29.5 kg (65 lbs). Use the safety belt

alone instead of the LATCH

anchorage system once the

combined weight is more than

29.5 kg (65 lbs).

The following explains how to

attach a child restraint with these

attachments in the vehicle.

Not all vehicle seating positions or

child restraints have lower anchors

and attachments or top tether

anchors and attachments.

Lower Anchors

Lower anchors (1) are metal bars

built into the vehicle. There are

two lower anchors for each

LATCH seating position that will

accommodate a child restraint with

lower attachments (2).

6014443) 2014 CRC 4/3/13

3-42 Seats and Restraints

Top Tether Anchor

A top tether (3, 4) anchors the top of

the child restraint to the vehicle.

A top tether anchor is built into

the vehicle. The top tether

attachment (2) on the child restraint

connects to the top tether anchor in

the vehicle in order to reduce the

forward movement and rotation of

the child restraint during driving or in

a crash.

The child restraint may have a

single tether (3) or a dual tether (4).

Either will have a single

attachment (2) to secure the top

tether to the anchor.

Some child restraints with top

tethers are designed for use with or

without the top tether being

attached. Others require the top

tether always to be attached. In

Canada, the law requires that

forward-facing child restraints have

a top tether, and that the tether be

attached. Be sure to read and follow

the instructions for your child

restraint.

vehicle as the seating position

where the child restraint will be

placed.

Do not secure a child restraint in a

position without a top tether anchor

if a national or local law requires

that the top tether be attached, or if

the instructions that come with the

child restraint say that the top tether

must be attached.

According to accident statistics,

children and infants are safer when

properly restrained in a child

the instructions in this manual.

{Warning

Do not attach more than one child

restraint to a single anchor.

Attaching more than one child

restraint to a single anchor could

cause the anchor or attachment

to come loose or even break

during a crash. A child or others

could be injured. To reduce the

risk of serious or fatal injuries

during a crash, attach only one

child restraint per anchor.

child restraint in the rear seat, see

Where to Put the Restraint on

page 3-39.

This system is designed to make

installation of child restraints easier.

When using lower anchors, do not

use the vehicle s safety belts.’

Instead, use the vehicle s anchors’

and child restraint attachments to

secure the restraints. Some

restraints also use another vehicle

anchor to secure the top tether.

1. Attach and tighten the lower

attachments to the lower

anchors. If the child restraint

does not have lower

attachments or the desired

seating position does not have

lower anchors, secure the child

restraint with the top tether and

the safety belts. Refer to your

child restraint manufacturer

instructions and the instructions

in this manual.

1.1. Find the lower anchors for

the desired seating

position.

1.2. Put the child restraint on

the seat.

1.3. Attach and tighten the lower

attachments on the child

restraint to the lower

anchors.

2. If the child restraint manufacturer

recommends that the top tether

be attached, attach and tighten

the top tether to the top tether

anchor, if equipped. Refer to the

child restraint instructions and

the following steps:

2.1. Find the top tether anchor.

3-46 Seats and Restraints

2.2. Open the top tether anchor

cover to expose the anchor.

2.3. Route, attach, and tighten

the top tether according to

your child restraint

instructions and the

following instructions:

If the position you are using

does not have head

restraint and you are using

a single tether, route the

tether over the seatback.

If the position you are using

does not have head

restraint and you are using

a dual tether, route the

tether over the seatback.

If the position you are using

has a fixed head restraint

and you are using a single

tether, route the tether over

the head restraint.

Seats and Restraints 3-47

If the position you are using

has a fixed head restraint

and you are using a dual

tether, route the tether

around the head restraint.

3. Before placing a child in the

child restraint, make sure it is

securely held in place. To check,

grasp the child restraint at the

LATCH path and attempt to

move it side to side and back

and forth. There should be no

more than 2.5 cm (1 in) of

movement for proper installation.

Replacing LATCH System

Parts After a Crash

{Warning

A crash can damage the LATCH

system in the vehicle. A damaged

LATCH system may not properly

secure the child restraint,

resulting in serious injury or even

death in a crash. To help make

sure the LATCH system is

working properly after a crash,

see your dealer to have the

system inspected and any

necessary replacements made as

soon as possible.

If the vehicle has the LATCH system

and it was being used during a

crash, new LATCH system parts

may be needed.

New parts and repairs may be

necessary even if the LATCH

system was not being used at the

time of the crash.

Securing Child Restraints

(Rear Seat)

When securing a child restraint in a

rear seating position, study the

instructions that came with the child

restraint to make sure it is

compatible with this vehicle.

If the child restraint has the LATCH

system, see Lower Anchors and

Tethers for Children (LATCH

System) on page 3-41 for how and

where to install your child restraint

using LATCH. If a child restraint is

secured in the vehicle using a

safety belt and it uses a top tether,

see Lower Anchors and Tethers for

Children (LATCH System) on

page 3-41 for top tether anchor

locations.

Do not secure a child restraint in a

position without a top tether anchor

if a national or local law requires

that the top tether be anchored, or if

the instructions that come with the

child restraint say that the top strap

must be anchored.

6014443) 2014 CRC 4/3/13

3-48 Seats and Restraints

In Canada, the law requires that

forward-facing child restraints have

a top tether, and that the tether be

attached.

If the child restraint does not have

the LATCH system, you will be

using the safety belt to secure the

child restraint in this position. Be

sure to follow the instructions that

came with the child restraint. Secure

the child in the child restraint when

and as the instructions say.

If more than one child restraint

needs to be installed in the rear

seat, be sure to read Where to Put

the Restraint on page 3-39.

1. Put the child restraint on

the seat.

2. Pick up the latch plate, and run

the lap and shoulder portions of

the vehicle's safety belt through

or around the restraint. The child

restraint instructions will show

you how.

3. Push the latch plate into the

buckle until it clicks.

Position the release button on

the buckle so that the safety belt

could be quickly unbuckled if

necessary.

4. Pull the shoulder belt all the way

out of the retractor to set the

lock. When the retractor lock is

set, the belt can be tightened but

not pulled out of the retractor.

6014443) 2014 CRC 4/3/13

Seats and Restraints 3-49

5. To tighten the belt, push down

on the child restraint, pull the

shoulder portion of the belt to

tighten the lap portion of the belt,

and feed the shoulder belt back

into the retractor. When installing

a forward-facing child restraint, it

may be helpful to use your knee

to push down on the child

restraint as you tighten the belt.

Try to pull the belt out of the

retractor to make sure the

retractor is locked. If the

retractor is not locked, repeat

Steps 4 and 5.

6. If the child restraint has a top

tether, follow the child restraint

manufacturer instructions

regarding the use of the top

tether. See Lower Anchors and

Tethers for Children (LATCH

System) on page 3-41.

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 side to side and back

and forth. 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.

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 3-39

In addition, the vehicle has a

passenger sensing system which is

designed to turn off the front

passenger frontal airbag under

certain conditions. See Passenger

Sensing System on page 3-26 and

Passenger Airbag Status Indicator

on page 5-18 for more information,

including important safety

information.

A label on the sun visor says,

“Never put a rear-facing child seat in

the front. This is because the risk to”

the rear-facing child is so great,

if the airbag deploys.

6014443) 2014 CRC 4/3/13

3-50 Seats and Restraints

{Warning

A child in a rear-facing child

restraint can be seriously injured

or killed if the front passenger

airbag inflates. This is because

the back of the rear-facing child

restraint would be very close to

the inflating airbag. A child in a

forward-facing child restraint can

be seriously injured or killed if the

front passenger airbag inflates

and the passenger seat is in a

forward position.

Even if the passenger sensing

system has turned off the front

passenger frontal airbag, no

system is fail-safe. No one can

guarantee that an airbag will not

deploy under some unusual

circumstance, even though it is

turned off.

(Continued)

Warning (Continued)

Secure rear-facing child restraints

in a rear seat, even if the

airbag is off. If you secure a

forward-facing child restraint in

the front seat, always move the

front passenger seat as far back

as it will go. It is better to secure

the child restraint in a rear seat.

See Passenger Sensing System

on page 3-26 for additional

information.

If the child restraint has the LATCH

system, see Lower Anchors and

Tethers for Children (LATCH

System) on page 3-41 for how and

where to install the child restraint

using LATCH. If a child restraint is

secured using a safety belt and it

uses a top tether, see Lower

Anchors and Tethers for Children

(LATCH System) on page 3-41 for

top tether anchor locations.

Do not secure a child seat in a

position without a top tether anchor

if a national or local law requires

that the top tether be anchored, or if

the instructions that come with the

child restraint say that the top strap

must be anchored.

In Canada, the law requires that

forward-facing child restraints have

a top tether, and that the tether be

attached.

You will be using the lap-shoulder

belt to secure the child restraint in

this position. Follow the instructions

that came with the child restraint.

1. Move the seat as far back as it

will go before securing the

forward-facing child restraint.

When the passenger sensing

system has turned off the front

passenger frontal airbag, the off

indicator on the passenger

airbag status indicator should

light and stay lit when the

vehicle is started. See

Passenger Airbag Status

Indicator on page 5-18.

lock. When the retractor lock is

set, the belt can be tightened but

not pulled out of the retractor.

6. To tighten the belt, push down

on the child restraint, pull the

shoulder portion of the belt to

tighten the lap portion of the belt,

and feed the shoulder belt back

into the retractor. When installing

a forward-facing child restraint, it

may be helpful to use your knee

to push down on the child

restraint as you tighten the belt.

Try to pull the belt out of the

retractor to make sure the

retractor is locked. If the

retractor is not locked, repeat

Steps 5 and 6.
