mental restraint system section before install-
ing a child restraint.
Do not use the lower anchors if the combined
weight of the child and the child restraint
exceeds 65 lb (29.5 kg). If the combined weight
of the child and the child restraint is greater
than 65 lb (29.5 kg), use the vehicle seat belt
(not the lower anchors) to install the child
restraint. Be sure to follow the child restraint
manufacturer’s instructions for installation.
Follow these steps to install a forward-facing
child restraint in the rear seats using the LATCH
system: 1. Position the child restraint on the seat. Al-
ways follow the child restraint manufactur-
er’s instructions.
2. Secure the child restraint anchor attach-ments to the LATCH lower anchors. Check to
make sure the LATCH attachment is properly
attached to the lower anchors.
If the child restraint is equipped with a top
tether strap, route the top tether strap and
secure the tether strap to the tether anchor
point. For additional information, refer to
Installing top tether strap in the1. Safety
— seats, seat belts and supplemental re-
straint system section.
Do not install child restraints that require
the use of a top tether strap in seating
positions that do not have a top tether
anchor.

If necessary, adjust or remove the head
restraint/headrest to obtain the correct child
restraint fit. If the head restraint/headrest is
removed, store it in a secure place.Be sure
to reinstall the head restraint/headrest when
the child restraint is removed. For additional
information about head restraint/headrest
adjustment, refer to Head
restraints/Headrests in the1. Safety —
seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint
system section. If the seating position does
not have an adjustable head restraint/
headrest and it is interfering with the proper
child restraint fit, try another seating posi-
tion or a different child restraint. 4. For child restraints that are equipped with
webbing-mounted attachments, remove any
additional slack from the webbing of the
anchor attachments. Press downward and
rearward firmly in the center of the child
restraint with your knee to compress the
vehicle seat cushion and seatback while
tightening the webbing of the anchor attach-
ments.
5. Tighten the tether strap according to the manufacturer’s instructions to remove any
slack. 6. After attaching the child restraint, test it
before you place the child in it. Push it from
side to side while holding the child restraint
near the LATCH attachment path. The child
restraint should not move more than 1 inch
(25 mm), from side to side. Try to tug it

Installing top tether strap
The child restraint top tether strap must be
used when installing the child restraint with the
LATCH lower anchor attachments. First, secure
the child restraint with the LATCH lower anchors
(rear outboard seating positions only).
WARNING
Child restraint anchorages are designed to
withstand only those loads imposed by cor-
rectly fitted child restraints. Under no circum-
stances are they to be used to attach adult seat
belts, or other items or equipment to the ve-
hicle. Doing so could damage the child re-
straint anchorages. The child restraint will not
be properly installed using the damaged an-
chorage, and a child could be seriously injured
or killed in a collision.
Outboard seating positions with removable
head restraints/headrests
:
1. If necessary, raise or remove the head restraint/headrest and store it in a secure
place. Be sure to reinstall the head restraint/
headrest when the child restraint is re- moved. For additional information about
head restraint/headrest adjustment, removal
and installation, refer to
Head
restraints/Headrests in the1. Safety —
seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint
system section.
2. Position the top tether strap
1over the
seatback.
3. Secure the tether strap to the tether anchor point
2on the seatback behind the child
restraint.
4. Tighten the tether strap according to the manufacturer’s instructions to remove any
slack.
Outboard seating positions with fixed head
restraints/headrests
:
1. If the child restraint has a single tether strap, route the strap
1over the top of the outer
head restraint/headrest. If the child restraint
has two tether straps, route them round each
side of the outer head restraint/headrest.
2. Secure the tether strap to the tether anchor point
2on the seatback behind the child
restraint.
3. Tighten the tether strap according to the manufacturer’s instructions to remove any
slack.

FORWARD-FACING CHILD RESTRAINT
INSTALLATION USING THE SEAT BELTS
WARNING
The three-point seat belt with Automatic Lock-
ing Retractor (ALR) must be used when install-
ing a child restraint. Failure to use the ALR
mode will result in the child restraint not being
properly secured. The restraint could tip over
or be loose and cause injury to a child in a
sudden stop or collision. Also, it can change
the operation of the front passenger air bag.
For additional information, refer toFront pas-
senger air bag and status light in the1. Safety
— seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint
system section.
For additional information, refer to all Warnings
and Cautions in the Child safetyin the
1. Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental
restraint system section andChild restraints
in the 1. Safety — seats, seat belts and supple-
mental restraint system section before install-
ing a child restraint. Do not use the lower anchors if the combined
weight of the child and the child restraint
exceeds 65 lb (29.5 kg). If the combined weight
of the child and the child restraint is greater
than 65 lb (29.5 kg), use the vehicle seat belt
(not the lower anchors) to install the child
restraint. Be sure to follow the child restraint
manufacturer’s instructions for installation.
Follow these steps to install a forward-facing
child restraint using the vehicle seat belt in the
rear seats or in the front passenger seat:
1.If you must install a child restraint in the front
seat, it should be placed in a forward-facing
direction only. Move the seat to the rearmost
position. Child restraints for infants must be
used in the rear-facing direction and, there-
fore, must not be used in the front seat.
2. Position the child restraint on the seat. Always follow the child restraint manufactur-
er’s instructions. The back of the child re-
straint should be secured against the vehicle
seatback. If necessary, adjust or remove the
head restraint/headrest to obtain the correct
child restraint fit. If the head restraint/
headrest is removed, store it in a secure
place. Be sure to reinstall the head restraint/
headrest when the child restraint is removed.

away from the child’s face and neck and the
lap portion of the belt does not cross the
stomach.
•Make sure the shoulder belt is not behind
the child or under the child’s arm.
