.Use anchors 4 and 5 when
installing a child restraint using
LATCH in left rear seating
position.
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 seat 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 top tether and the seat belts. Refer to the
child restraint manufacturer
instructions and the
instructions in this manual.
1.1. Find the lower anchors
for the desired seating
position.
1.2. For outboard rear seating positions, put the head
restraint in the upright
position. See Head
Restraints 050.
1.3. Put the child restraint on the seat.
1.4. Attach and tighten the lower attachments on the
child restraint to the lower
anchors.
2. If the child restraint manufacturer recommends that
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
instructions and the
following instructions:
If the position you are
