Several manufacturers offer child restraints for
infants and small children of various sizes.
When selecting any child restraint, keep the
following points in mind:
●Choose only a restraint with a label certify-
ing that it complies with Federal Motor Ve-
hicle Safety Standard 213 or Canadian Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard 213.
● Check the child restraint in your vehicle to
be sure it is compatible with the vehicle’s
seat and seat belt system.
● If the child restraint is compatible with your
vehicle, place your child in the child restraint
and check the various adjustments to be
sure the child restraint is compatible with
your child. Choose a child restraint that is
designed for your child’s height and weight.
Always follow all recommended procedures.
All U.S. states and Canadian provinces or territo-
ries require that infants and small children be
restrained in an approved child restraint at all
times while the vehicle is being operated. Cana-
dian law requires the top tether strap on front-
facing child restraints to be secured to the des-
ignated anchor point on the vehicle.
LOWER ANCHORS AND TETHERS FOR
CHILDREN (LATCH) SYSTEM
Your vehicle is equipped with special anchor
points that are used with the LATCH (Lower
Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) system com-
patible child restraints. This system may also
be referred to as the ISOFIX or ISOFIX compat-
ible system. With this system, you do not have
to use a vehicle seat belt to secure the child
restraint.
The LATCH anchor points are provided to install
child restraints in the rear outboard seating
positions only.

illustration.
– Do not secure a child restraint in the cen- ter rear seating position using the LATCH

webbing or seat cushion material. The
child restraint will not be secured prop-
erly if the lower anchors are obstructed.
