wrapped around a child’s neck.
If the shoulder belt is locked and

behind the child restraint so
children cannot reach them. Pull
the shoulder belt all the way out
of the retractor to set the lock,
and tighten the belt behind the

Caution
Do not let the LATCH
attachments rub against the
vehicle’s safety belts. This may
damage these parts. If necessary,
move buckled safety belts to
avoid rubbing the LATCH
attachments.(Continued)
Caution (Continued)
Do not fold the rear seatback
when the seat is occupied. Do not

safety belt buckled. This could
damage the safety belt or the

be installed in any second row
seating position.
If you need to secure more than one
child restraint in the rear seat, see
Where to Put the Restraint 0105.
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 tighten the lower attachments to the lower
anchors. If the child restraint
does not have lower
attachments or the desired
seating position does not have
lower anchors, secure the child
restraint with the safety belts
and top tether when
recommended by the child
restraint manufacturer. Refer to
your child restraint
manufacturer instructions and
the instructions in this manual.
For the third row outboard
seating positions, if the head
restraint interferes with the
proper installation of the child
restraint, then the head
restraint may be removed. See
