attached to the seatback (Crew cab models only)
to help you locate the LATCH lower anchors.

anchor attachments
LATCH compatible child restraints include two
rigid or webbing-mounted attachments that can
be connected to two anchors located at certain
seating positions in your vehicle. With this sys-
tem, you do not have to use a vehicle seat belt to
secure the child restraint. Check your child re-
straint for a label stating that it is compatible with
LATCH. This information may also be in the in-
structions provided by the child restraint manu-
facturer.

4. After attaching the child restraint, test it be-fore you place the child in it. Push it from side
to side while holding the child restraint near
the LATCH attachment path. The child re-
straint should not move more than 1 inch (25
mm) , from side to side. Try to tug it forward
and check to see if the LATCH attachment
holds the restraint in place. If the restraint is
not secure, tighten the LATCH attachment
as necessary, or put the restraint in another
seat and test it again. You may need to try a
different child restraint or try installing by
using the vehicle seat belt (if applicable) .
Not all child restraints fit in all types of ve-
hicles. 5. Check to make sure the child restraint is
properly secured prior to each use. If the
child restraint is loose, repeat steps 2

WARNING
●The three-point seat belt with Auto-
matic Locking Retractor (ALR) must be
used when installing a child restraint.
Failure to use the ALR mode will result
in the child restraint not being properly
secured. The restraint could tip over or
be loose and cause injury to a child in a
sudden stop or collision. Also, it can
change the operation of the front pas-
senger air bag. See “Front passenger
air bag and status light” later in this
section.
● A child restraint system will not be in-
stalled properly and the child could be
seriously injured or killed in a sudden
stop or collision.
– Never install a child restraint system on the driver’s side jump seat.
– Do not install a child restraint system on the passenger’s side jump seat
without unfolding the seat extender.
WARNING
●To install a rear-facing child restraint on
the passenger’s side jump seat, it will
be necessary to move the front passen-
ger’s seat fully forward and place the
front seatback upright or tilt it forward.
Failure to do so may cause the child
restraint to not be installed properly
and cause serious injury or death in a
sudden stop or collision. – The front seat cannot be used when a
rear-facing child restraint is installed
on the jump seat. Attempting to do so
could cause serious injury in a sud-
den stop or collision.
