Safety Standard 213 or Canadian Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard 213.
Check the child restraint in your vehicle to be
sure it is compatible with the vehicle’s seat
and seat belt system.
If the child restraint is compatible with your
vehicle, place your child in the child restraint
and check the various adjustments to be sure
the child restraint is compatible with your
child. Choose a child restraint that is de-
signed for your child’s height and weight.
Always follow all recommended procedures.
All U.S. states and Canadian provinces re-
quire that infants and small children be
restrained in approved child restraints at
all times while the vehicle is being oper-
ated.
WARNING
Improper use of a child restraint can
increase the risk or severity of injury
for both the child and other occu-
pants of the vehicle.
Follow all of the child restraint manu-
facturer’s instructions for installationand use. When purchasing a child
restraint, be sure to select one which
will fit your child and vehicle. It may
not be possible to properly install
some types of child restraints in your
vehicle.
If the child restraint is not anchored
properly, the risk of a child being
injured in a collision or a sudden stop
greatly increases.
Adjustable seatbacks should be po-
sitioned to fit the child restraint, but
as upright as possible.
After attaching the child restraint,
test it before you place the child in it.
Push it from side to side. Try to tug it
forward and check to see if the belt
holds the restraint in place. The child
restraint should not move more than
1 inch (25 mm). If the restraint is not
secure, tighten the belt as necessary,
or put the restraint in another seat
and test it again. You may need to try
a different child restraint. Not all
child restraints fit in all types of
vehicles.If you must install a front facing child
restraint in the front seat, see “Child
restraint installation on front passen-
ger seat” later in this section for
details.
When your child restraint is not in
use, keep it secured with a seat belt
to prevent it from being thrown
around in case of a sudden stop or
accident.
CAUTION
Remember that a child restraint left in a
closed vehicle can become very hot.
Check the seating surface and buckles
before placing your child in the child
restraint.

CHILD RESTRAINT INSTALLATION
ON REAR SEAT OUTBOARD OR
CENTER POSITIONS
WARNING
The three-point seat belt in your ve-
hicle is equipped with a locking mode
retractor which must be used when
installing a child restraint.
Failure to use the automatic 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.
When installing a child restraint sys-
tem in the rear center position, both
the center seat belt connector tongue
and buckle tongue must be secured.
See “Attaching rear center seat belt”
earlier in this section.
Front facingWhen you install a child restraint in a rear
outboard or center seat, follow these steps:
1. Position the child restraint on the seat. Al-
ways follow the restraint manufacturer’s in-
structions.
The back of the child restraint should be
secured against the vehicle seatback. If nec-
essary, 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 thehead 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.

LATCH (LOWER ANCHORS AND
TETHERS FOR CHILDREN)
SYSTEM1. LATCH lower anchor points (right)
2. LATCH lower anchor points (left)
3. LATCH label
The LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for
CHildren) anchor points are located in the seat
cushions of the rear outboard seating positions
only. Do not attempt to install a child restraint in
the center position using the LATCH anchors.
The LATCH system anchors are located at the
rear of the seat cushion near the seatback. Alabel is attached to the seatback to help you
locate the LATCH system anchors.
WARNING
Attach LATCH system compatible
child restraints only at the locations
shown. If a child restraint is not se-
cured properly, your child could be
seriously injured or killed in an acci-
dent.
Do not secure a child restraint in the
center rear seating position using the
LATCH system anchors. The child re-
straint will not be secured properly.
The 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 bereferred 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 com-
patible 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 instructions provided by the child restraint
manufacturer. If you have such a child restraint,
refer to the illustration for the seating positions
equipped with LATCH system anchors which
can be used to secure the child restraint.
Some child restraints may also require the use of
a top tether strap. See “Top tether strap child
restraint” later in this section for installation
instructions.
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
system anchors are obstructed.
1. To install the LATCH system compatible child
restraint, adjust the height of the child re-
straint LATCH system anchor attachments to
the anchor points on the rear seat.
2. Insert the anchor attachments into the anchor
points. If the child restraint is equipped with a
top tether, see “Top tether strap child re-
straint” later in this section for installation
instructions.
3. After attaching the child restraint and before
placing the child in it, use force to push 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 (25 mm).
4. Check to make sure that the child restraint is
properly secured prior to each use.
TOP TETHER STRAP CHILD
RESTRAINT
WARNING
Child 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.
After removing a rear seat head re-
straint for top tether installation,
store it securely to prevent it from
causing injury to passengers or dam-
age to the vehicle in case of sudden
braking or an accident. Always re-
place it and adjust properly when top
tether is no longer in use.
The child restraint top tether strap
may be damaged by contact with the
tonneau cover or items in the cargo
area. Remove the tonneau cover from
the vehicle or secure it and any cargo.
Your child could be seriously injured
or killed in a collision if the top tetherstrap is damaged.
If your child restraint has a top tether strap, it
must be secured to the anchor point provided
behind its position.
First, adjust the seatback so that it is upright.
Then secure the child restraint with the rear seat
belt or the LATCH system (outboard positions),
as applicable. For the center position
C, re-
move the anchor cover from the anchor point as
illustrated. Keep the removed cover in a secure
place to prevent loss or damage.
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 that provides the
straightest installation. Tighten the tether strap
according to the manufacturer’s instruction to
remove any slack.
For best child restraint fit, see the child restraint
installation instructions in this section and the
child restraint manufacturer’s instructions.
