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

in the rear center position, both the
center seat belt connector tongue and
buckle tongue must be secured. See

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 (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHil-
dren) 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 compatible child re-
straints. Check your child restraint for a label
stating that it is compatible with the LATCH sys-
tem. This information may also be in the child
restraint owner’s manual. If you have such a childrestraint, refer to the illustration for the seating
positions equipped with LATCH system 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.

1. To install the LATCH system compatible
child restraint, insert the child restraint
LATCH system anchor attachments into the
anchor points on the seat. If the child re-
straint is equipped with a top tether, see
“Top tether strap child restraint” later in this
section for installation instructions.
2. After attaching the child restraint and before
placing the child in it, use force to tilt the
child restraint from side to side and tug it
forward to make sure that the child restraint
is securely held in place. It should not move
more than 1 inch.
3. Check to make sure that the child restraint is
properly secured prior to each use.
TOP TETHER STRAP CHILD
RESTRAINT
If your child restraint has a top tether strap, it must
be secured to the anchor point provided behind
its position.
WARNING
cChild restraint anchor points are de-
signed to withstand only those loads
imposed by correctly fitted child re-
straints. Under no circumstances are
they to be used for adult seat belts or
harnesses.
cAfter removing a rear seat head re-
straint for top tether installation, store
it securely to prevent it from causing
injury to passengers or damage to the
vehicle in case of sudden braking or an
accident. Always replace it and adjust
properly when top tether is no longer in
use.
First, secure the child restraint with the seat belt
or the LATCH system (2nd row captain’s chairs
and the center position of the 3rd row bench seat
only) , as applicable.
For the front passenger seat in the 2 passenger
cargo van only, adjust the head restraint to its
highest position and route the top tether strap
between the head restraint and the top of the
seatback. Secure the tether strap to the tether
anchor point on the floor directly behind the seat.
Tighten the tether strap according to the manu-
facturer’s instructions to remove any slack.For the 2nd and 3rd row seats, remove the head
restraint from the seatback. Store it in a secure
place. Position the top tether strap over the top of
the seatback and secure it to the tether anchor
bracket as shown later in this section. Tighten the
tether strap according to the manufacturer’s in-
structions to remove any slack.
WARNING
A child restraint with a top tether strap can
only be used in the 3rd row bench seat,
center position. Do not place in an out-
board seating position and attempt to
angle the tether strap to the center
position.
For best child restraint fit, see the child restraint
installation instructions in this section and the
child restraint manufacturer’s instructions.
