• Be sure to follow the child restraint manu-facturer's instructions for installation.
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 be-
ing operated. Canadian law requires the top
tether strap on forward-facing child re-
straints be secured to the designated anchor
point on the vehicle.
LATCH (Lower Anchors and
Tethers for CHildren) SYSTEM
Your vehicle is equipped with special anchor
points that are used with LATCH 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 re-
straint. Be sure to follow the child restraint
manufacturer's instructions for installation.
The LATCH lower anchor points are provided
to install child restraints in the following po-
sitions only:
• Rear bench seat – outboard seating
positions
LATCH lower anchor
WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use and installation 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 system
anchors. The child restraint will not be
secured properly.
– Inspect the lower anchors by inserting
your fingers into the lower anchor area.
Feel to make sure there are no obstruc-
tions over the anchors such as seat belt
webbing or seat cushion material. The

child restraint will not be secured prop-
erly if the lower anchors are obstructed.
– Child restraint anchorages are designed
to withstand only those loads imposed
by correctly fitted child restraints. Un-
der no 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 an-
chorages. The child restraint will not be
properly installed using the damaged
anchorages, and a child could be seri-
ously injured or killed in a collision.

lower anchor attachments
LATCH compatible child restraints include
two rigid or webbing-mounted attachments
that can be connected to two anchors lo-
cated at certain seating positions in your ve-
hicle. With this system, you do not have to
use a vehicle seat belt to secure the child
restraint. Check your child restraint for a label
stating that it is compatible with LATCH. This
information may also be in the instructions
provided by the child restraint manufacturer.When installing a child restraint, carefully
read and follow the instructions in this
manual and those supplied with the child
restraint.

WARNING
• Do not allow cargo to contact the top
tether strap when it is attached to the
top tether anchor. Properly secure the
cargo so it does not contact the top
tether strap. Cargo that is not properly
secured or cargo that contacts the top
tether strap may damage it during a col-
lision. A child could be seriously injured or
killed in a collision if the top tether strap
is damaged.
• Child restraint anchorages are designed
to withstand only those loads imposed
by correctly fitted child restraints. Under
no 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 anchorages,
and a child could be seriously injured or
killed in a collision.

RESTRAINT INSTALLATION
USING LATCH
WARNING
Child restraint anchorages are designed to
withstand only those loads imposed by
correctly fitted child restraints. Under no
circumstances are they to be used to attach
adult seat belts, or other items or equip-
ment to the vehicle. Doing so could damage
the child restraint anchorages. The child re-
straint will not be properly installed using
the damaged anchorages, and a child could
be seriously injured or killed in a collision.
For additional information, see “Child safety”
(P. 1-20) and “Child restraints” (P. 1-22) be-
fore installing a child restraint.
Do not use the lower anchors if the combined
weight of the child and the child restraint
exceeds 65 lbs. (29.5 kg). If the combined
weight of the child and the child restraint is
greater than 65 lbs. (29.5 kg), use the vehi-
cle's seat belt (not the lower anchors) to in-
stall the child restraint. Be sure to follow the
child restraint manufacturer's instructions for
installation. Follow these steps to install a rear-facing
child restraint in the rear seats using the
LATCH system:
1. Position the child restraint on the seat.
Always follow the child restraint manu-
facturer's instructions.

if the LATCH attachment holds the re-
straint in place. If the restraint is not se-
cure, tighten the LATCH attachment as
necessary, or put the restraint in another
seat and test it again. You may need to try
a different child restraint or try installing
by using the vehicle seat belt (if appli- cable). Not all child restraints fit in all types
of vehicles.
5. Check to make sure the child restraint is properly secured prior to each use. If the
child restraint is loose, repeat steps 2
through 4.
REAR-FACING CHILD
RESTRAINT INSTALLATION
USING THE SEAT BELTS
WARNING
The three-point seat belt with Automatic
Locking Retractor (ALR) must be used
when installing a child restraint. Failure to
use the ALR mode will result in the child
restraint not being properly secured. The
restraint could tip over or be loose and
cause injury to a child in a sudden stop or
collision.
For additional information, see “Child safety”
(P. 1-20) and “Child restraints” (P. 1-22) be-
fore installing a child restraint. Do not use the lower anchors if the combined
weight of the child and the child restraint
exceeds 65 lbs. (29.5 kg). If the combined
weight of the child and the child restraint is
greater than 65 lbs. (29.5 kg), use the vehi-
cle's seat belt (not the lower anchors) to in-
stall the child restraint. Be sure to follow the
child restraint manufacturer's instructions for
installation.
Follow these steps to install a rear-facing
child restraint using the vehicle seat belts in
the rear seats:
LRS0674
Rear-facing – step 4

1.Child restraints for infants must be used
in the rear-facing direction and therefore
must not be used in the front seat. Posi-
tion the child restraint on the seat. Always
follow the child restraint manufacturer’s
instructions. 2. Route the seat belt tongue through the
child restraint and insert it into the buckle
until you hear and feel the latch engage.
Be sure to follow the child restraint manu-
facturer’s instructions for belt routing. 3. Pull the shoulder belt until the belt is fully
extended. At this time, the seat belt re-
tractor is in the ALR mode (child restraint
mode). It reverts to the ELR mode when
the seat belt is fully retracted.

RESTRAINT INSTALLATION
USING LATCH
For additional information, see “Child safety”
(P. 1-20) and “Child restraints” (P. 1-22) be-
fore installing a child restraint.
Do not use the lower anchors if the combined
weight of the child and the child restraint
exceeds 65 lbs. (29.5 kg). If the combined
weight of the child and the child restraint is
greater than 65 lbs. (29.5 kg), use the vehi-
cle's seat belt (not the lower anchors) to in-
stall the child restraint. Be sure to follow the
child restraint manufacturer's instructions for
installation.
Follow these steps to install a forward-
facing child restraint in the rear seats using
the LATCH system:
1. Position the child restraint on the seat. Always follow the child restraint manu-
facturer's instructions. 2. Secure the child restraint anchor attach-
ments to the LATCH lower anchors.
Check to make sure the LATCH attach-
ment is properly attached to the lower
anchors.
If the child restraint is equipped with a top
tether strap, route the top tether strap
and secure the tether strap to the tether
anchor point. For additional information,
see “Installing top tether strap” (P. 1-37).
Do not install child restraints that require
the use of a top tether strap in seating
positions that do not have a top tether
anchor. 3. The back of the child restraint should be
secured against the vehicle seatback.
If necessary, adjust or remove the head
restraint/headrest to obtain the correct
child restraint fit. If the head restraint/
headrest is removed, store it in a secure
place. Be sure to reinstall the head
restraint/headrest when the child re-
straint is removed. For additional infor-
mation, see “Head restraints/headrests”
