CHILD RESTRAINTS
Children 12 years or younger should ride properly buckled up in a rear seat, if available. According
to crash statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seats rather than in the
front.
Every state in the United States and all Canadian provinces require that small children ride in
proper restraint systems. This is the law, and you can be prosecuted for ignoring it.
NOTE:
• For additional information, refer to www.seatcheck.org or call 1–866–SEATCHECK
(1–866–732–8243).

restraint is 65 lbs (29.5 kg). Use the seat belt and tether anchor instead of the LATCH system
once the combined weight is more than 65 lbs (29.5 kg).

Locating LATCH Anchorages
The lower anchorages are round bars that
are found at the rear of the seat cushion where
it meets the seatback, below the anchorage
symbols on the seatback. They are just visible
when you lean into the rear seat to install the
child restraint. You will easily feel them if you
run your finger along the gap between the
seatback and seat cushion.
Locating Tether Anchorages
•In addition, there are tether strap anchorages behind each rear seating position located
in the panel between the rear seatback and the rear window. These tether strap anchorages are
under a plastic cover with the tether anchorage symbol on it.
Center Seat LATCH
If a child restraint installed in the center position
blocks the seat belt webbing or buckle for the
outboard position, do not use that outboard
position. If a child seat in the center position
blocks the outboard LATCH anchors or seat
belt, do not install a child seat in that outboard
position.

Installing The Child Restraint Using The LATCH Lower Anchors
NOTE:
Never “share” a LATCH anchorage with two or more child restraints.
1. Loosen the adjusters on the lower straps and on the tether strap of the child seat so that youcan more easily attach the hooks or connectors to the vehicle anchorages.
2. Attach the lower hooks or connectors of the child restraint to the lower anchorages in theselected seating position.
3. If the child restraint has a tether strap, connect it to the top tether anchorage. See below fordirections to attach a tether anchor.
4. Tighten all of the straps as you push the child restraint rearward and downward into the seat.
Remove slack in the straps according to the child restraint manufacturer’s instructions.
5. Test that the child restraint is installed tightly by pulling back and forth on the child seat at thebelt path. It should not move more than 1 inch (25.4 mm) in any direction.
Installing The Child Restraint Using The Vehicle Seat Belts
The seat belts in the passenger seating positions are equipped with a Switchable AutomaticLocking Retractor (ALR) that is designed to keep the lap portion of the seat belt tight around thechild restraint. Any seat belt system will loosen with time, so check the belt occasionally, and pullit tight if necessary.
Te t h e r A n c h o r a g e W e i g h t L i m i t
Always use the tether anchor when using the seat belt to install a forward facing child restraint, up
to the recommended weight limit of the child restraint.
To I n s t a l l A C h i l d S e a t U s i n g A n A L R :
1. Pull enough of the seat belt webbing from the retractor to pass it through the belt path of thechild restraint. Do not twist the belt webbing in the belt path.
2. Slide the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a “click.”
3. Pull on the webbing to make the lap portion tight against the child seat.
4. To lock the seat belt, pull down on the shoulder part of the belt until you have pulled all the seatbelt webbing out of the retractor. Then, allow the webbing to retract back into the retractor. Asthe webbing retracts, you will hear a clicking sound. This means the seat belt is now in theAutomatic Locking mode.
5. Try to pull the webbing out of the retractor. If it is locked, you should not be able to pull out anywebbing. If the retractor is not locked, repeat the last step.
6. Finally, pull up on any extra webbing to tighten the lap portion around the child restraint whileyou push the child restraint rearward and downward into the vehicle seat.
7. If the child restraint has a top tether strap and the seating position has a top tether anchorage,connect the tether strap to the anchorage and tighten the tether strap. See below fordirections to attach a tether anchor.
8. Test that the child restraint is installed tightly by pulling back and forth on the child seat at the
belt path. It should not move more than 1 inch (25.4 mm) in any direction.
