CHILD RESTRAINT INSTALLATION
USING LATCH
WARNING
.Attach LATCH compatible child re-
straints only at the locations shown.
If a child restraint is not secured
properly, your child could be ser-
iously injured or killed in an acci-
dent. (
“Lower Anchors and
Tethers for CHildren SYSTEM
(LATCH)” page 1-15)
. 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.

head restraint and it is interfering with the
proper child restraint fit, try another seating
position or a different child restraint.

additional slack from the anchor attach-
ments. Press downward and rearward firmly
in the center of the child restraint with your

side to side while holding the seat near the
LATCH attachment or by the seat belt path.
The child restraint should not move more
than 1 inch (25 mm) from side to side. Try to
tug it forward and check to see if the belt
holds the restraint in place. 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.
