Installing child restraints using
LATCH in the center and left rear
seating positions at the same time is
prohibited.
Make sure to attach the child
restraint at the proper anchor
location.
This system is designed to make
installation of child restraints easier.
When using lower anchors, do not
use the vehicle's safety belts.
Instead use the vehicle's anchors
and child restraint attachments to
secure the restraints. Some
restraints also use another vehicle
anchor to secure a top tether.1. Attach and fasten the lower attachments to the lower
anchors. If the child restraint

lower anchors, secure the child
restraint with the top tether and
the safety belts. Refer to the

the desired seating
position.

restraint in the upright
position. See Head
Restraints 050.
1.3. Put the child restraint on the seat.
1.4. Attach and fasten the lower attachments on the
child restraint to the lower
anchors.

the top tether be attached,
attach and tighten the top
tether to the top tether anchor,
if equipped. Refer to the child
restraint instructions and the
following steps:
2.1. Find the top tether anchor.
Open the cover to expose
the anchor. 2.2. Route, attach, and tighten
the top tether according to
the child restraint

LATCH system may not properly
secure the child restraint,
resulting in serious injury or even
death in a crash. To help make
sure the LATCH system is
working properly after a crash,

system inspected and any
necessary replacements made as
soon as possible.
If the vehicle has the LATCH system
