WARNING
.Child restraint anchor points are
designed to withstand only those
loads imposed by correctly fitted
child restraints. Under no circum-
stances are they to be used for adult
seat belts or harnesses.
.Your child could be seriously injured
or killed in a collision if the child
restraint top tether strap is da-
maged.
— If the cargo cover contacts the
top tether strap when it is at-
tached to the top tether anchor,
remove the cargo cover from the
vehicle or secure it on the cargo
floor below its attachment loca-
tion. If the cargo cover is not
removed, it may damage the top
tether strap during a collision.
— Do not allow cargo to contact
the top tether strap when it is
attached to the top tether an-
chor. Properly secure the cargo
so it does not contact the top
tether strap. Cargo that is not
properly secured or that con-tacts the top tether strap may
damage the top tether strap
during a collision.

USING LATCH
WARNING
.Attach LATCH compatible child re-
straints only at the locations shown.
For the LATCH lower anchor loca-
tions, see “Lower Anchors and
Tethers for CHildren SYSTEM
(LATCH)” earlier in this section. If a
child restraint is not secured prop-
erly, your child could be seriously
injured or killed in an accident.
.The 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.
.Inspect the lower anchors by insert-ing 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 cushion mate-
rial. The child restraint will not be
secured properly if the LATCH an-
chors are obstructed.
Front-facingFollow these steps to install a front-facing child
restraint using LATCH:
1. Adjust the rear seatback to the upright
position.
2. Position the child restraint on the seat.
Always follow the child restraint manufac-
turer’s instructions.

Front facing (front passenger seat) — step 1
Front-facingFollow these steps to install a front-facing child
restraint using the vehicle seat belt in the rear
seat or in the front passenger seat:
1. Adjust the rear seatback to the upright
position.
If you must install a child restraint in
the front seat, it should be placed in a
front-facing direction only. Move the
seat to the rearmost position. Child
restraints for infants must be used in
the rear-facing direction and therefore
must not be used in the front seat.2. Position the child restraint on the seat.
Always follow the child restraint manufac-
turer’s instructions.
The back of the child restraint should be
secured against the seatback. If necessary,
adjust or remove the head restraint (front
passenger seat only) to obtain the correct
child restraint fit. (See “HEAD RE-
STRAINTS” 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.
