Frequently Asked Questions About LATCH
Can two child restraints be attached using a common
lower LATCH anchorage?No Never “share” a LATCH anchorage with two or
more child restraints. If the center position does not

next to a child seat using the LATCH anchorages in
an outboard position.
Can the rear-facing child restraint touch the back of
the front passenger seat?No Contact between the front passenger seat and a child
restraint can affect the passenger air bag suppression
system. See the vehicle Owner ’s Manual for more
information about the occupant classification system
in your vehicle.

Go Equipped Vehicles)Yes Non-Stow ‘n Go Seats: All adjustable head restraints
may be removed.

Center Seat LATCH — With Stow ’n Go
If a child restraint installed in the center position blocks the
seat belt webbing or buckle for the outboard position, do not
use that outboard position. If a child seat in the center
position blocks the outboard LATCH anchors or seat belt, do
not install a child seat in that outboard position.
WARNING!
Never use the same lower anchorage to attach more than
one child restraint. Please refer to “Installing The
LATCH-Compatible Child Restraint System” for typical
installation instructions.
Connecting The Top Tether Strap (With Either Lower
Anchors Or Vehicle Seat Belt)
When installing a forward-facing child restraint, always
secure the top tether strap, up to the tether anchor weight
limit, whether the child restraint is installed with the lower
anchors or the vehicle seat belt.
1. Look behind the seating position where you plan to
install the child restraint to find the tether anchorage. You
may need to move the seat forward to provide better
access to the tether anchorage. If there is no top tether
anchorage for that seating position, move the child
restraint to another position in the vehicle if one is
available.2. Route the tether strap to provide the most direct path for
the strap between the anchor and the child seat. If your
vehicle is equipped with adjustable rear head restraints,
raise the head restraint, and where possible, route the
tether strap under the head restraint and between the two
posts. If not possible, lower the head restraint and pass
the tether strap around the outboard side of the head
restraint.
3. Attach the tether strap hook of the child restraint to the
top tether anchorage.
4. Remove slack in the tether strap according to the child
restraint manufacturer ’s instructions.
WARNING!
•An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to
increased head motion and possible injury to the child.
Use only the anchorage position directly behind the
child seat to secure a child restraint top tether strap.
•If your vehicle is equipped with a split rear seat, make
sure the tether strap does not slip into the opening
between the seatbacks as you remove slack in the strap.

position when the seat is to be used by an occupant who
is not in a child restraint. Sitting in a seat with the head
restraint in its lowered position could result in serious
injury or death in a collision.

Integrated Child Booster Seat — If Equipped
The Integrated Child Booster Seat (if equipped) is located in
each second-row passenger seat. The booster seat is de-
signed for children weighing between 48 and 85 lbs (22 and
39 kg) and between 47 in (119 cm) and 57 in (145 cm) tall.
The booster seat is designed to raise the child high enough
to use the vehicle lap and shoulder belt. The booster seat
latch release handle is located at the front of the seat
cushion.
1. Pull the release handle forward to release the latch and
seat cushion. Then, lift seat cushion up and push back to
lock it in the booster seat position.
WARNING!
Failure to comply with the following conditions could
result in serious injury or death:
•The swivel seat should be locked in the forward
facing position when using the booster seat with the
vehicle in motion.
•Be certain that the seat cushion is locked securely into
position before using the seat. Otherwise, the seat will
not provide the proper stability for child seats and/or
passengers. An improperly latched seat cushion could
cause serious injury or death.2. Place the child upright in the seat with their back firmly
against the seatback.
3. Grasp the latch plate and pull out the seat belt.
4. Slide the latch plate up the webbing as far as necessary to
allow the seat belt to go around the child’s lap.
NOTE:The lap portion of the seat belt should be low on the
hips and as snug as possible.
5. Once the seat belt is long enough to fit properly, insert the
latch plate into the buckle until you hear a “click.”
6. To remove the slack from the lap belt, pull upward on the
shoulder portion of the seat belt.
7. To release the seat belt, push the red button on the buckle.
