541-2. Child safety
■Child restraint LATCH anchors
LATCH anchors are provided for the
outboard second-row seats. (Buttons
displaying the location of the anchors
are attached to the seats.)
WARNING
●Do not allow children to play with the
seat belt. If the seat belt becomes
twisted around a child’s neck, it may
lead to choking or other serious inju-
ries that could result in death.
If this occurs and the buckle cannot be
unfastened, scissors should be used to
cut the belt.
●Ensure that the belt and plate are
securely locked and the seat belt is not
twisted.
●Shake the child restraint system left
and right, and forward and backward
to ensure that it has been securely
installed.
●After securing a child restraint system,
never adjust the seat.
●When a booster seat is installed,
always ensure that th e shoulder belt is
positioned across the center of the
child’s shoulder. The belt should be
kept away from the child’s neck, but
not so that it could fall off the child’s
shoulder.
●Follow all installation instructions pro-
vided by the child restraint system
manufacturer.
●When securing some types of child
restraint systems in rear seats, it may
not be possible to properly use the
seat belts in position s next to the child
restraint without inte rfering with it or
affecting seat belt effectiveness. Be
sure your seat belt fits snugly across
your shoulder and low on your hips. If it
does not, or if it interferes with the
child restraint, move to a different posi-
tion. Failure to do so may result in
death or serious injury.
●When installing a child restraint system
in the rear center se at, adjust both seat
cushions to the same position and
align both seatbacks at the same
angle. The seatbacks must be adjusted
to the same angle. Otherwise, the
child restraint system cannot be
securely restrained and this may cause
death or serious injuries in the event of
sudden braking, sudden swerving or
an accident.
■When installing a booster seat
To prevent the belt from going into ALR
lock mode, do not fully extend the shoul-
der belt. ALR mode causes the belt to
tighten only. This could cause injury or
discomfort to the child. (
P.28)
■Do not use a seat belt extender
If a seat belt extender is used when
installing a child restra int system, the seat
belt will not securely hold the child
restraint system, which could cause
death or serious injury to the child or
other passengers in the event of sudden
braking, sudden swerving or an accident.

5 If the child restraint has a top tether
strap, follow the child restraint man-
ufacturer’s operation manual
regarding the installation, using the
top tether strap to latch onto the
top tether strap anchor. ( P.57)
6 After installing the child restraint
system, rock it back and forth to
ensure that it is installed securely.
(P.54)
■When installing in the rear center
seat
There are no LATCH anchors behind
the rear center seat. However, the
inboard LATCH anchors of the out-
board seats, which are 18.1 in. (460
mm) apart, can be used if the child
restraint system manufacturer’s
instructions permit use of those anchors with the anchor spacing
stated.
Child restraint systems with rigid lower
attachments cannot be installed in the
center seat. This type of child restraint
system can only be installed in the out-
board seat.
■Laws and regulations pertaining to
anchors
The LATCH system conforms to
FMVSS225 or CMVSS210.2.
Child restraint systems conforming to
FMVSS213 or CMVSS213 specifications
can be used.
This vehicle is designed to conform to SAE
J1819.

WARNING
■When installing a child restraint sys-
tem
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
●When using the LATCH anchors, be
sure that there are no foreign objects
around the anchors and that the seat
belt is not caught behind the child
restraint system.
●Follow all installation instructions pro-
vided by the child restraint system
manufacturer.
●Never attach two child restraint system
attachments to the same anchor. In a
collision, one anchor may not be
strong enough to hold two child
restraint system at tachments and may
break.
If the LATCH anchors are already in
use, use the seat belt to install a child
restraint system in the center seat.
