NOTE: VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AN INTEGRATED CHILD SEAT.

THE INTEGRATED CHILD SEAT SAFETY BELT LATCH MECHANISM MAY BECOME CONTAMINATED CAUSING THE SEAT BELT RELEASE MECHANISM TO STICK AND PREVENT THE RETRACTOR FROM RELEASING.

THIS MAY RESULT IN DIFFICULTY REMOVING A CHILD FROM THE RESTRAINT.

CORRECTION: CHILD SEAT LATCH PLATE MECHANISM WILL BE INSPECTED AND CLEANED.

AN EXTENDER WILL BE ADDED TO THE EMERGENCY RELEASE ANCHOR FOR THE CHILD SEAT SAFETY BELTS SO THAT THE RELEASE CLIPS ARE MORE VISIBLE AND ACCESSIBLE TO THE OPERATOR.

NEW INSTRUCTION LABEL AND OWNER'S MANUAL SUPPLEMENT CARD WILL BE PROVIDED FOR THE OPERATOR.
