Lower Anchors and Tethers for
CHildren System (LATCH)
Your vehicle is equipped with special anchor
points that are used with the LATCH (Lower
Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) system
compatible child restraints. This system may
also be referred to as the ISOFIX or ISOFIX
compatible system. With this system, you do
not have to use a vehicle seat belt to secure
the child restraint unless the combined
weight of the child and child restraint
exceeds 65 lbs (29.5 kg). If the combined
weight of the child and child restraint is
greater than 65 lbs (29.5 kg), use the
vehicle’s seat belt (not the lower anchors)
to install the child restraint. Be sure to followthe child restraint manufacturer’s instruc-
tions for installation.
LATCH lower anchor
WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use and installa-
tion of child restraints could result in
serious injury or death of a child or other
passengers in a sudden stop or collision:
.Attach LATCH system compatible
child restraints only at the locations
shown in the illustration.
.Do not secure a child restraint in the
rear center position using the LATCH
lower anchors. The child restraint will
not be secured properly.
.Inspect the lower anchors by insert-
ing your fingers into the lower anchor
area. Feel to make sure there are no
obstructions over the anchors such as
seat belt webbing or seat cushion
material. The child restraint will not
be secured properly if the lower
anchors are obstructed.
Child restraint anchorages are designed
to withstand only those loads imposed
by correctly fitted child restraints. Underno circumstances are they to be used to
attach adult seat belts, or other items or
equipment to the vehicle. Doing so could
damage the child restraint anchorages.
The child restraint will not be properly
installed using the damaged anchorage,
and a child could be seriously injured or
killed in a collision.

For additional information, refer to all
Warnings and Cautions in the “Child safety”
(P.1-18) and “Child restraints” (P.1-20)
before installing a child restraint.
Do not use the lower anchors if the com-
bined weight of the child and the child
restraint exceeds 65 lbs (29.5 kg). If thecombined weight of the child and the child
restraint is greater than 65 lbs (29.5 kg), use

Precautions on booster seats
WARNING
If a booster seat and seat belt are not
used properly, the risk of a child being
injured or killed in a sudden stop or
collision greatly increases:
.Make sure the shoulder portion of
the belt is away from the child’s face
and neck and the lap portion of the
belt does not cross the stomach.
.Make sure the shoulder belt is not
behind the child or under the child’s
arm.
.A booster seat must only be installed
in a seating position that has a lap/
shoulder belt.
LRS0455
Booster seats of various sizes are offered by
several manufacturers. When selecting any
booster seat, keep the following points in
mind:
.Choose only a booster seat with a label
certifying that it complies with Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213 or
Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Stan-
dard 213.
.Check the booster seat in your vehicle to
be sure it is compatible with the vehicle’s
seat and seat belt system.
Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-35

Page 56 of 492

1-36Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
LRS0453
.Make sure the child’s head will be
properly supported by the booster seat
or vehicle seat. The seatback must be at
or above the center of the child’s ears.
For example, if a low back booster seat
is chosen, the vehicle seatback must be
at or above the center of the child’s ears.
If the seatback is lower than the center
of the child’s ears, a high back booster
seat
should be used.
LRS0464
.If the booster seat is compatible with
your vehicle, place your child in the
booster seat and check the various
adjustments to be sure the booster seat
is compatible with your child. Always
follow all recommended procedures.
All U.S. states and Canadian provinces or
territories require that infants and small
children be restrained in an approved child
restraint at all times while the vehicle is
being operated.
The instructions in this section apply to
booster seat installation in the rear seats or
the front passenger seat.
Booster seat installation
CAUTION
To avoid injury to child, do not use the
lap/shoulder belt Automatic Locking
Retractor (ALR) mode when using a
booster seat with the seat belts.
For additional information, refer to all
Warnings and Cautions in the “Child safety”,
“Child restraints” and “Booster seats” sec-
tions earlier in this section before installing a
child restraint.
Follow these steps to install a booster seat in
the rear seat or in the front passenger seat:

Page 57 of 492

SSS0640
1.If you must install a booster seat in the
front seat, move the seat to the rear-
most position.
2. Position the booster seat on the seat.
Only place it in a forward-facing direc-
tion. Always follow the booster seat
manufacturer’s instructions.
LRS0454
Front passenger position
3. The booster seat should be positioned on
the vehicle seat so that it is stable.
If necessary, adjust or remove the head
restraint or headrest to obtain the
correct booster seat fit. If the head
restraint or headrest is removed, store
it in a secure place.Be sure to reinstall
the head restraint or headrest when the
booster seat is removed.See “Head
restraints/headrests” (P.1-7) for head
restraint or headrest adjustment, re-
moval and installation information.
If the seating position does not have an
adjustable head restraint or headrest
and it is interfering with the properbooster seat fit, try another seating
position or a different booster seat.
4. Position the lap portion of the seat belt
low and snug on the child’s hips. Be sure
to follow the booster seat manufac-
turer’s instructions for adjusting the seat
belt routing.
5. Pull the shoulder belt portion of the seat
belt toward the retractor to take up
extra slack. Be sure the shoulder belt is
positioned across the top, middle portion
of the child’s shoulder. Be sure to follow
the booster seat manufacturer’s instruc-
tions for adjusting the seat belt routing.
6. Follow the warnings, cautions and in-
structions for properly fastening a seat
belt shown in “Seat belts” (P.1-11).
