■When installing in the rear center seat
There are no LATCH anchors behind the rear center seat. How-
ever, the inboard LATCH anchors of the outboard seats, which are
16.1 in. (410 mm) apart, can be used if the child restraint sys tem
manufacturer’s instructions permit use of those anchors with th e
anchor spacing stated.
Child restraint systems with rig id lower attachments cannot be
installed in the center seat. This type of child restraint syst em can
only be installed in the outboard seat.
■ Laws and regulations pertaining to anchors
The LATCH system conforms to FMVSS225 or CMVSS210.2.
Child restraint systems conforming to FMVSS213 or CMVSS213 spec ifica-
tions 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 caught behind the child
restraint system.
● Follow all installation instructions provided by the child rest raint 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 ch ild
restraint system attachments and may break.
If the LATCH anchors are already in use, use the seat belt to i nstall a child
restraint system in the center seat.
● When securing some types of child restraint systems in rear seats, it may
not be possible to properly use the seat belts in positions next to the child
restraint without interfering with it or affecting seat belt ef fectiveness. 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 may result in death or serious injur y.
● If the seat is adjusted, reconfirm the security of the child re straint system.
