Your vehicle is equipped with
LATCH (Lower Anchors and
Tethers for CHildren) at the outer
rear seats.
The location of each lower anchor is
indicated by a small button above the
anchor point.
The lower anchors are located
between the seat-back and seat
bottom, and are to be used only with
a child seat designed f or use with
LATCH.
To install a LATCH-compatible child
seat:
Move the seat belt buckle or
tongue away f rom the lower
anchors. Make sure there are no objects
near the anchors that could
prevent a secure connection
between the child seat and the
anchors.
Unlock the seat-back from inside
the trunk by pulling the release
(see page ), then f old it
f orward slightly to make a space
between the rear window and the
head restraint.Remove the head restraint (see
page ). Make sure the removed
head restraint is stored in the
trunk. Reinstall the head restraint
when the child seat is removed.
Lock the seat-back upright by
pushing it f irmly against the trunk

When not using the LATCH system,
all child seats must be secured to the
vehicle with the lap part of a lap/

With the child seat in the desired
seating position, route the belt
through the child seat according
to the seat maker’s instructions,
then insert the latch plate into the
buckle and remove any slack f rom
the lap portion of the belt.
In addition, the lap/shoulder belts in
