CHILD RESTRAINT INSTALLATION
USING LATCH
WARNING
cAttach LATCH compatible child re-
straints only at the locations shown. For
the LATCH lower anchor locations, see
“Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHil-
dren System (LATCH)” in this section. If
a child restraint is not secured properly,
your child could be seriously injured or
killed in an accident.
cThe LATCH anchors are designed to
withstand only those loads imposed by
correctly fitted child restraints. Under
no circumstance are they to be used for
adult seat belts or harnesses.
cInspect the lower anchors by inserting
your fingers into the lower anchor area
and feeling to make sure there are no
obstructions over the LATCH anchors,
such as seat belt webbing or seat cush-
ion material. The child restraint will not
be secured properly if the LATCH an-
chors are obstructed.

4. Before placing the child in the child restraint,
hold the child restraint near the LATCH at-
tachment and use force to push the child
restraint from side to side, and tug it forward
to make sure that it is securely held in place.
It should not move more than 1 inch (25
mm) . If it does move more than 1 inch (25
mm) , pull again on the anchor attachments
to further tighten the child restraint. If you are
unable to properly secure the restraint, move
the restraint to another seating position and
try again, or try a different child restraint. Not
all child restraints fit in all types of vehicles.5. Check to make sure the child restraint is
properly secured prior to each use. If the
child restraint is loose, repeat steps 2

CHILD RESTRAINT INSTALLATION
USING THE SEAT BELTS –
PASSENGER’S SIDE JUMP SEAT
(King cab models only)
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.
WARNING
cWhen installing a child restraint system
in the passenger’s side jump seat posi-
tion be sure to unfold the seat exten-
sion on the jump seat. If the jump seat
extension is not properly used, the child
restraint will not be installed correctly
and the child could be injured in a col-
lision or sudden stop.
cNever install a child restraint on the
driver’s side jump seat. A child restraint
can not be properly installed in the driv-
er’s side jump seat and the child could
be injured in a collision or sudden stop.

7. Before placing the child in the child restraint,
hold the child restraint near the seat belt
path and use force to push the child restraint
from side to side, and tug it forward to make
sure that it is securely held in place. It should
not move more than 1 inch (25 mm) . If it
does move more than 1 inch (25 mm) , pull
again on the shoulder belt to further tighten
the child restraint. If you are unable to prop-
erly secure the restraint, move the restraint
to another rear seating position and try
again, or try a different child restraint. Not all
child restraints fit in all types of vehicles.8. Check that the retractor is in the automatic
locking mode by trying to pull more seat belt
out of the retractor. If you cannot pull any
more seat belt webbing out of the retractor,
the retractor is in the automatic locking
mode.
9. Check to make sure that the child restraint is
properly secured prior to each use. If the belt
is not locked, repeat steps 3 through 8.
After the child restraint is removed and the seat
belt fully retracted, the automatic locking mode
(child restraint mode) is canceled.PRECAUTIONS ON BOOSTER

matic locking mode when using a booster
seat with the seat belts. Follow these
steps to install a booster seat in the rear
seat or in the front passenger seat:1.If you must install a booster seat in the

3. The booster seat should be positioned on
the vehicle seat so that it is stable. If neces-
sary, adjust or remove the head restraint to
obtain the correct booster seat 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 booster seat is
removed. If the seating position does not
have an adjustable head restraint and it is
interfering with the proper booster seat fit,
try another seating position or a different
booster seat.4. Position the lap portion of the seat belt low
and snug on the child’s hips. Be sure to
follow the booster seat manufacturer’s in-
structions for adjusting the belt routing.
5. Pull the shoulder belt portion of the seat belt
toward the retractor to take up extra slack.
Be sure the shoulder belt is positioned
across the top, middle portion of the child’s
shoulder. Be sure to follow the booster seat
manufacturer’s instructions for adjusting the
belt routing.
6. Follow the warnings, cautions and instruc-
tions for properly fastening a seat belt
shown in the “Three-point seat belt with
retractor” earlier in this section.
7. If the booster is installed in the front passen-
ger seat: When the ignition switch is turned
to the ON position, the passenger air bag
status light
may or may not be illumi-
nated, depending on the size of the child and
the type of booster seat being used. See
“Front passenger air bag and status light”
later in this section.
