Safety of Larger Children
The following pages give instructions on how  to check proper seat belt fit, what kind 
of booster seat to use if one is needed , and important precautions for a child who 
must sit in front.
When a child is too big for a  child seat, secure the child in a rear seat using the lap/
shoulder seat belt. Have the child sit upright and all the way back, then answer the 
following questions.
■Checklist
• Do the child’s knees bend comfortably over 
the edge of the seat?
• Does the shoulder belt cross between the 
child’s neck and arm?
• Is the lap part of the seat belt as low as 
possible, touching the child’s thighs?
• Will the child be able to stay seated like this 
for the whole trip?
If you answer yes to all these questions, the child is ready to wear the lap/shoulder 
seat belt correctly. If you answer no to  any question, the child needs to ride on a 
booster seat until the seat belt fits properly without a booster seat.

3WARNING
Allowing a child age 12 or under to sit in 
front can result in injury or death if the 
passenger’s front airbag inflates.
If a larger child must ri de in front, move the 
vehicle seat as far to the rear as possible, 
have the child sit up properly and wear the 
seat belt properly, us ing a booster seat if 
needed.

Safe DrivingIf a lap/shoulder seat belt cannot be used 
properly, position the child in a booster seat in 
a rear seating position.  For the child’s safety, 
check that the child meets the booster seat 
manufacturer’s recommendations.
Your vehicle has a rear seat where children can be properly restrained. If you ever 
have to carry a group of children,  and a child must ride in front:
• Make sure you read and fully understand  the instructions and safety information 
in this manual.
• Move the front passenger seat as far back as possible.
• Have the child sit upright and well back in the seat.
• Check that the seat belt is properly positi oned so that the child is secure in the 
seat.
■Monitoring child passengers
We strongly recommend that you keep an ey e on child passengers. Even older, more 
mature children sometimes need to be remind ed to fasten their seat belts and sit up 
properly.
■Booster Seats1 Booster Seats
When installing a booster seat, make sure to read the 
instructions that came with it, and install the seat 
accordingly.
There are high- and low-type  booster seats. Choose a 
booster seat that allows the child to wear the seat 
belt correctly.
Some U.S. states, and Canadian provinces and 
territories require  children to use a booster seat until 
they reach a given age or we ight (e.g. six years or 60 
lbs). Be sure to check current laws in the state or 
province, or territory where you intend to drive.

Safe Driving
Exhaust Gas Hazard
Carbon Monoxide Gas
The engine exhaust from this vehicle contains carbon monoxide, a colorless, 
odorless, and highly toxic gas. As long as you properly maintain your vehicle, carbon 
monoxide gas will not get into the interior.
■Have the exhaust system in spected for leaks whenever
• The exhaust system is m aking an unusual noise.
• The exhaust system may have been damaged.
• The vehicle is raised for an oil change.
When you operate a vehicle with the tailgat e open, airflow can pull exhaust gas into 
the interior and create a hazardous conditio n. If you must drive with the tailgate 
open, open all the windows  and set the climate control system as shown below.
1. Select the fresh air mode.
2. Select the   mode.
3. Set the fan speed to high.
4. Set the temperature control to a comfortable setting.
Adjust the climate control system in the  same manner if you sit in your parked 
vehicle with the engine running.
1 Carbon Monoxide Gas
An enclosed area such as a garage can quickly fill up 
with carbon monoxide gas.
Do not run the engine with the garage door closed. 
Even when the garage door is open, drive out of the 
garage immediately afte r starting the engine.
3WARNING
Carbon monoxide gas is toxic.
Breathing it can cause unconsciousness and 
even kill you.
Avoid any enclosed areas or activities that 
expose you to carbon monoxide.
