Installing The LATCH - Compatible Child Restraint System
•
Each vehicle, except commercial cargo vehicles, is equipped with the child restraint anchor-
age system called LATCH, which stands for Lower Anchors and Tether for CHildren.
• Two LATCH child restraint anchorage systems are installed on all second-row seats and in the center position on all third row fold-in-floor seats.
• Second-row seats also feature tether strap anchorages, located in the rear surface of the seatback.
• In addition, all third row fold-in-floor seats are equipped with a child restraint tether anchor at the center seating position.
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 the lower child restraint attachment straps to
ease the installation.
NOTE:
It is recommended to loosen the top tether
strap and route it loosely prior to securing
the lower anchors so the top tether strap is
not trapped between the vehicle seat and
child restraint.
• Attach the lower child restraint attach- ment straps to the vehicle’s lower anchor
bars. Ensure that the lower attachment strap is firmly engaged and that the hook is
secure.
• Tighten the lower attachment strap while firmly pushing the child restraint rearward and downward into the vehicle seat. Remove all slack in the lower attachment straps.
Installing The Top Tether Strap (With Either Lower Anchors Or Vehicle Seat Belt):
• Route the top tether strap under the adjustable head restraint between the steel posts.
• Provide enough slack for the tether strap to reach the tether anchor located near
the bottom of the seat back.
• Clip tether hook to tether anchor. Ensure that the hook is firmly engaged and se-
cure.
• Remove all slack and tighten tether strap according to child restraint manufactur-
er’s instructions.
NOTE:
The top tether strap is always to be secured,
regardless of if the child restraint is installed with the lower anchors or the vehicle seat belt.

Third Row Seats
Third Row Power Recliner
• The power recline feature, located on the side of the seat cushion, adjusts the seatbackangle forward/rearward for occupant comfort.
Third Row Power Seat Switch
NOTE:
• Disconnect the center shoulder belt fromthe small buckle and lower the head re-
straints before attempting to fold/stow
the power third row seats.
• A one-touch power folding seat switch is located in the left rear trim panel as part
of a switch bank.
• Left and right third row seats can be folded individually or together. The third
row power folding seats adjust to multiple
positions.
• The switch is only functional when the liftgate is open and the vehicle is in PARK.
• To abort seat operation while the seat is in motion, press a different seat position selector switch to stop the seat. Once the seat stops moving, then the desired position
can be selected.
• The third row power seat system includes obstacle detection for safe operation. When the system detects an obstacle, the motors will stop and reverse the motion a short
distance to move the seat away from the obstacle. Should this occur, remove the
obstacle and press the button again for the desired position.
• Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for manual third row seat folding instructions.
