CHILD RESTRAINT INSTALLATION
ON 3RD ROW BENCH SEAT
WARNING
cThe three-point seat belt in your vehicle
is equipped with an automatic locking
mode retractor which must be used
when installing a child restraint.
cFailure to use the retractor’s locking
mode will result in the child restraint
not being properly secured. The re-
straint could tip over or otherwise be
unsecured and cause injury to the child
in a sudden stop or collision.cWhen installing a child restraint system
in the rear center position, both the
center seat belt connector tongue and
buckle tongue must be secured. See
“Attaching the 3rd row center seat belt”
earlier in this section.

Front facing
WARNING
Front-facing child restraints can be in-
stalled in all 3rd row bench seat positions.
However, front-facing child restraints that
require the use of a top tether strap can be
installed in the center 3rd row position
only. Do not install a child restraint requir-
ing a top tether strap in an outboard posi-
tion and attempt to angle the tether to the
3rd row center anchor.When you install a child restraint on the 3rd row
bench seat, follow these steps:
s1Position the child restraint on the seat. Ad-
just the head restraint to its highest position.
Always follow the restraint manufacturer’s
instructions. The back of the child restraint
should be secured against the vehicle seat
back. If necessary, adjust or remove the head
restraint to obtain the correct child restraint
fit. See “Head restraint adjustment” earlier in
this section. If the head restraint is removed,
store it in a secure place. Be sure to install
the head restraint when the child restraint is
removed. If the seating position does not
have an adjustable head restraint and it is
interfering with the proper child restraint fit,
try another seating position or a different
child restraint.

The LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for
CHildren) anchor points are located as follows:
c2nd row captain’s chairs (if so equipped): in
the seat cushions of both captain’s chairs.
c2nd row bench seat (if so equipped): in the
seat cushions of the 2nd row bench seat
outboard seating positions only. Do not at-
tempt to install a child restraint in the center
position using the LATCH anchors.
WARNING
cAttach LATCH system compatible child
restraints only at the locations shown. If
a child restraint is not secured properly,
your child could be seriously injured or
killed in an accident.
cThe LATCH system anchors are de-
signed to withstand only those loads
imposed by correctly fitted child re-
straints. Under no circumstance are
they to be used for adult seat belts or
harnesses.
Some child restraints include two rigid or
webbing-mounted attachments that can be con-
nected to two anchors located at certain seating
positions in your vehicle. This system is known as
the LATCH system. 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.
Your vehicle is equipped with special anchor
points that are used with LATCH system compat-
ible child restraints. Check your child restraint for
a label stating that it is compatible with the
LATCH system. This information may also be in
the child restraint owner’s manual. If you have
such a child restraint, refer to the illustration forthe seating positions equipped with LATCH sys-
tem anchors which can be used to secure the
child restraint.
The LATCH system anchors are located at the
rear of the seat cushion near the seatback. A
label is attached to the seatback to help you
locate the LATCH system anchors.
LATCH child restraints generally require the use
of a top tether strap. See “Top tether strap child
restraint” later in this section for installation in-
structions.
When installing a child restraint, carefully read
and follow the instructions in this manual and
those supplied with the child restraint.
When you install a LATCH system compatible
child restraint to the lower anchor attachments,
follow these steps:
WARNING
Inspect the lower anchors by inserting
your fingers into the lower anchor area
and feeling to make sure there are no
obstructions over the LATCH system an-
chors, such as seat belt webbing or seat
cushion material. The child restraint will
not be secured properly if the LATCH sys-
tem anchors are obstructed.
