• Place the child upright in the seatwith their back firmly against the
seatback.
• Grasp the latch plate and pull out the seat belt.
• Slide the latch plate up the webbing as far as necessary to allow the seat
belt to go around the child’s lap.
NOTE: The lap portion of the seat belt should be low on the hips and as snug as
possible.
• Once the seat belt is long enough to fit properly, insert the latch plate into thebuckle until you hear a “click.”
• To remove the slack from the lap belt, pull upward on the shoulder portion of the seat belt.
Installing The LATCH - Compatible Child Restraint System
• Your vehicle’s second row passenger seats are equipped with the child restraintanchorage system called LATCH, which stands for Lower Anchors and Tether for
CHildren.
• All three second-row passenger seating positions have lower anchors that are capable of accommodating LATCH-compatible child seats.
• Rigid fixed lower attachments can only be used in the outboard seating positions. Flexible lower attachments can be used in all seating positions.
• When installing a child seat in the center seating position use one lower anchorage from the outboard seating position and the center seat dedicated lower anchorage.
If two child seats are installed in adjacent seating positions you must use the
vehicle seat belt in the center seating position.
• You should NEVERinstall LATCH-compatible child seats so that two seats share a
common lower anchorage.

Installing The Lower Attachments:• The vehicle lower anchorages are round bars located at the rear of the seat cushion where it meets the seatback.
• Loosen the child seat adjusters on thelower straps and on the tether strap so
that you can more easily attach the
hooks or connectors to the vehicle
anchors.
• Attach the lower hooks or connectors over the top of the seatcover material.
• Tighten all three straps as you push the child restraint rearward and downward
into the seat, removing slack in the
straps according to the child restraint
manufacturer’s instructions.
Installing The Top Tether Strap (With Either Lower Anchors Or Vehicle Seat Belt):
• Attach the tether strap to the anchor directly behind the seat where you are placing the child restraint, being careful to route the tether strap to provide the most direct
path between the anchor and the child restraint, preferably between the head
restraint posts underneath the head restraint.
• Remove all slack and tighten tetherstrap according to child restraint
manufacturer’s instructions.
NOTE: Ensure that the tether strap does
not slip into the opening between the
seatbacks as you remove slack in the strap.
Installing The Child Restraint Using The Vehicle Seat Belts
• To install a child restraint, first, pull enough of the seat belt webbing from the retractor to route it through the belt path of the child restraint and slide the latch
plate into the buckle.
• Next, extract all the seat belt webbing out of the retractor and then allow the belt to retract into the retractor. Finally, pull on any excess webbing to tighten the lap
portion around the child restraint. Any seat belt system will loosen with time, so
check the belt occasionally, and pull it tight if necessary.
• Route the tether strap to provide the most direct path for the strap between the anchor and the child seat, preferably between the head restraint posts underneath
the head restraint.
• Attach the tether strap hook of the child restraint to the tether anchor and remove slack in the tether strap according to the child restraint manufacturer's
instructions.

NOTE:Ensure that the tether strap does not slip into the opening between the
seatbacks as you remove slack in the strap.
WARNING!
• In a collision, an unrestrained child, even a tiny baby, can become a projectile inside the vehicle. The force required to hold even an infant on
your lap could become so great that you could not hold the child, no matter
how strong you are. The child and others could be severely injured or killed.
Any child riding in your vehicle should be in a proper restraint for the child's
size.
• Rearward-facing child seats must never be used in the front seat of a vehicle with a front passenger air bag. An air bag deployment could cause severe
injury or death to infants in this position.
• Improper installation of a child restraint to the LATCH anchorages can lead to failure of an infant or child restraint. The child could be severely injured or
killed. Follow the manufacturer’s directions exactly when installing an infant
or child restraint.
• An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to increased head motion and possible injury to the child. Use only the anchor positions directly behind the
child seat to secure a child restraint top tether strap.

CAUTION!
DO NOT place any article under a power seat or impede its ability to move as it
may cause damage to the seat controls. Seat travel may become limited if
movement is stopped by an obstruction in the seat’s path.
WARNING!
• Adjusting a seat while the vehicle is moving is dangerous. The sudden movement of the seat could cause you to lose control. The seat belt might
not be properly adjusted, and you could be severely injured or killed. Only
adjust a seat while the vehicle is parked.
• Do not ride with the seatback reclined so that the seat belt is no longer resting against your chest. In a collision, you could slide under the seat belt
and be severely injured or killed. Use the recliner only when the vehicle is
parked.
• Be certain that the seat cushion is locked securely into position before using the seat. Otherwise, the seat will not provide the proper stability for
passengers. An improperly latched seat cushion could cause serious injury.
