Center Seat LATCH
The center seating position in this vehicle
has a single dedicated anchorage. Use an-
chorages B and C to install a child seat in
the center position. Do not use anchorages
CandDtoinstallachildseat.Ifyouare
installing three child restraints, you must
use the seatbelt to install the center child
restraint. You can use either the LATCH
anchors or the vehicle’s seat belt for install-
ing the child seats in the outboard posi-
tions. See the vehicle owner’s manual for
more information about center LATCH.
Installing The Child Restraint Using The LATCH Lower Anchors
NOTE:
Never“share” a LATCH anchorage with two or more child restraints.
1. Loosen the adjusters on the lower straps and on the tether strap of the child seat so that
you can more easily attach the hooks or connectors to the vehicle anchorages.
2. Attach the lower hooks or connectors of the child restraint to the lower anchorages in
the selected seating position.
3. If the child restraint has a tether strap, connect it to the top tether anchorage. See
below for directions to attach a tether anchor.
4. Tighten all of the straps as you push the child restraint rearward and downward into the
seat. Remove slack in the straps according to the child restraint manufacturer’s
instructions.
5. Test that the child restraint is installed tightly by pulling back and forth on the child
seat at the belt path. It should not move more than 1 inch (25.4 mm) in any direction.
Installing The Child Restraint Using The Vehicle Seat Belts
The seat belts in the outboard passenger seating positions are equipped with a Switchable
Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR). The center seating positions are equipped with a
cinching latch plate. Both types of seat belts are designed to keep the lap portion of the
seat belt tight around the child restraint. Any seat belt system will loosen with time, so
check the belt occasionally, and pull it tight if necessary.
Tether Weight Limit
Always use the tether anchor when using the seat belt to install a forward facing child
restraint, up to the recommended weight limit of the child restraint.

To Install A Child Seat Using An ALR:
1. Pull enough of the seat belt webbing from the retractor to pass it through the belt path
of the child restraint. Do not twist the belt webbing in the belt path.
2. Slide the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a “click.”
3. Pull on the webbing to make the lap portion tight against the child seat.
4. To lock the seat belt, pull down on the shoulder part of the belt until you have pulled
all the seat belt webbing out of the retractor. Then, allow the webbing to retract back
into the retractor. As the webbing retracts, you will hear a clicking sound. This means
the seat belt is now in the Automatic Locking mode.
5. Try to pull the webbing out of the retractor. If it is locked, you should not be able to pull
out any webbing. If the retractor is not locked, repeat the last step.
6. Finally, pull up on any extra webbing to tighten the lap portion around the child
restraint while you push the child restraint rearward and downward into the vehicle
seat.
7. If the child restraint has a top tether strap and the seating position has a top tether
anchorage, connect the tether strap to the anchorage and tighten the tether strap. See
below for directions to attach a tether anchor.
8. Test that the child restraint is installed tightly by pulling back and forth on the child
seat at the belt path. It should not move more than 1 inch (25.4 mm) in any direction.
To Install A Child Seat Using A Cinching Latch Plate:
1. Place the child seat in the center of the seating position.
2. Next, pull enough of the seat belt webbing from the retractor to pass it through the belt
path of the child restraint. Do not twist the belt webbing in the belt path.
3. Slide the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a “click.”
4. Finally, pull up on any excess webbing to tighten the lap portion around the child
restraint while you push the child restraint rearward and downward into the vehicle
seat.
5. If the child restraint has a top tether strap and the seating position has a top tether
anchorage, connect the tether strap to the anchorage and tighten the tether strap. See
below for directions to attach a tether anchor.
6. Test that the child restraint is installed tightly by pulling back and forth on the child
seat at the belt path. It should not move more than 1 inch (25.4 mm) in any direction.
Installing 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.

3. Lift the seat cushion up and push back to lock it in the booster seat position.
4. Place the child upright in the seat with
their back firmly against the seatback.
5. Grasp the latch plate and pull out the
seat belt.
6. 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.
7. Once the seat belt is long enough to fit
properly, insert the latch plate into the
buckle until you hear a “click.”
8. To remove the slack from the lap belt, pull upward on the shoulder portion of the seat
belt.
9. To release the seat belt, push the red button on the buckle.
WARNING!
Securely lock the seat cushion 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.

inside the vehicle. The force required to hold even an infant on your lap could
become so great that you could not hold the child, no matter how strong you are.
The child and others could be severely injured or killed. Any child riding in your
vehicle should be in a proper restraint for the child's size.

Driving a vehicle with the head restraints removed or improperly adjusted could cause
serious injury or death in the event of a collision. The head restraints should be checked
prior to operating the vehicle and never adjusted while the vehicle is in motion.
Third Row Passenger Seats — Seven Passenger Models
These head restraints are non-adjustable and non-removable. However, you can fold them
forward when they are not in use by passengers. Refer to “50/50 Split Third-Row
