LATCH in the center and left rear
seating positions at the same time is
prohibited.
Make sure to attach the child restraint
at the proper anchor location.
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 a 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 the child restraint
manufacturer instructions and
the instructions in this manual.

position. 1.2. For outboard rear seating
positions, put the head

position. See Head
Restraints 050.
1.3. Put the child restraint on the seat.
1.4. Attach and tighten the lower attachments on the
child restraint to the lower
anchors.

the top tether be attached, attach
and tighten the top tether to the
top tether anchor, if equipped.

instructions and the following
steps:
2.1. Find the top tether anchor.
Open the cover to expose
the anchor.

the tether under the
headrest or head restraint
and in between the
headrest or head restraint
posts.

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.
