•Buckle the child into the seat according to the child
restraint manufacturer’s directions.
•When your child restraint is not in use, secure it in the
vehicle with the seat belt or remove it from the vehicle.
Don’t leave it loose in the vehicle. In a sudden stop or
collision, it could strike the occupants or seatbacks and
cause serious personal injury.
Lower Anchors and Tether for CHildren (LATCH)
Each vehicle, except commercial cargo vehicles, is equipped
with the child restraint anchorage system called LATCH,
which stands for Lower Anchors and Tether for CHildren.
Two LATCH child restraint anchorage systems are installed
on all second-row seats and in the center position on all 3rd
row fold-in-floor seats. Second-row seats also feature tether
strap anchorages, located in the rear surface of the seatback.
In addition, all 3-passenger bench seats and 3rd row fold-
in-floor seats are equipped with a child restraint tether
anchor at the center seating position.
When using the tether anchorages in the outboard seat-
ing positions, ensure that the strap is routed over the top
of the seatback and under the head restraint between the
head restraint posts. Except for bench seats with split
seatbacks, when the tether anchorage is used in the center
seating position, the strap should be positioned straight

over the top of the seatback. For bench seats with split
seatbacks, route the tether between the seatbacks.
When using the tether anchorages in the center position
on 3rd row fold-in-floor seating, ensure that the strap is
routed over the top of the seatback and under the head
restraint between the head restraint posts.WARNING!
An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to
increased head motion and possible injury to the
child. Use only the anchor positions directly behind
the child seat to secure a child restraint top tether
strap.
Child restraint systems having attachments designed to
connect to the lower anchorages are now available. Child
restraints having tether straps and hooks for connection
to the seatback tether anchorage have been available for
some time. In fact, many child restraint manufacturers
will provide add-on tether strap kits for some of their
older products.
NOTE:If your child restraint seat is not LATCH com-
patible, install the restraint using the vehicle seat belts.
