After installing the child restraint system, rock it back and forth to ensure
that it is installed securely. (P. 66)
■When installing in the rear center seat
There are no LATCH anchors behind th e rear center seat. However, the
inboard LATCH anchors of the outboard seats, which are 18.1 in. (460 mm)
apart, can be used if the child restrain t system manufacturer’s instructions per-
mit use of those anchors with the anchor spacing stated.
Child restraint systems with rigid lower attachments cannot be installed in the
center seat. This type of child restraint system can only be installed in the out-
board seat.
■Laws and regulations pertaining to anchors
The LATCH system conforms to FMVSS225 or CMVSS210.2.
Child restraint systems conforming to FMV SS213 or CMVSS213 specifications can be
used.
This vehicle is designed to conform to SAE J1819.
WARNING
■When installing a child restraint system
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
●When using the LATCH anchors, be sure that there are no foreign objects around the
anchors and that the seat belt is not ca ught behind the child restraint system.
●Follow all installation instructions provided by the child restraint system manufacturer.
●Never attach two child restraint system attachments to the same anchor. In a collision,
one anchor may not be strong enough to hold two child restraint system attachments
and may break.
If the LATCH anchors are already in use, use the seat belt to install a child restraint
system in the center seat.
●When securing some types of child restraint systems in rear seats, it may not be possi-
ble to properly use the seat belts in positions next to the child restraint without inter-
fering with it or affecting seat belt effectiveness. Be sure your seat belt fits snugly
across your shoulder and low on your hips. If it does not, or if it interferes with the child
restraint, move to a different position. Failure to do so ma y result in death or serious
injury.
●When installing a child restraint system in th e rear center seat, adjust both seat cush-
ions to the same position an d align both seatbacks at the same angle. The seatbacks
must be adjusted to the same angle. Othe rwise, the child restraint system cannot be
securely restrained and this may cause death or serious injuries in the event of sudden
braking, sudden swerving or an accident.
●If the seat is adjusted, reconfirm the security of the child restraint system.
