can be more firmly secured by pushing it
down into the seat cushion and then tight-
ening the seatbelt.
8. If the seatbelt has been set to the ALR
mode in step 5, pull at the shoulder portion
of the belt to confirm that it cannot be
pulled out (ALR properly functioning).9. To remove the child restraint system,

buckle and allow the belt to retract
completely. The belt will return to the ELR
mode.
NOTEWhen the child restraint system is no
longer in use, remove it and restore
the ELR function of
the retractor. That
function is restored by allowing the
seatbelt to retract fully. ▼

Installation of Child Restraint
Systems by Use of Lower
and Tether Anchorages
(LATCH)
▼
Lower and tether anchorages
NOTEThe seatbelt warning system of the
rear seats detects if any of the seats
are occupied by a passenger. Install-
ing a child restraint system in the rear
seating area, using the LATCH
anchors, may result in the activation of
the passenger seatbelt warning light
and chime. Fastening the rear seatbelt
prior to installing the child restraint
system will avoid activating the pas-
senger seatbelt warning light and
chime. For details, refer to "Rear pas-
senger’s seats" 
P133
Some types of child restraint systems can
be installed on the rear seat of your
vehicle without use of the seatbelts. Such
child restraint systems are secured to the
dedicated anchorages provided on the
vehicle body.
The lower and tether anchorages are
sometimes referred to as the LATCH
system (L ower Anchors and T ethers for
CHildren). Your vehicle is equipped with four lower
anchorages (bars) and two upper anchor-
ages (tether anchorages) for accommo-
dating such child restraint systems.
WARNING

Attach the child restraint system
to the anchors properly. When
using the LATCH anchors, be
sure that there are no foreign
objects around the anchors.
Make sure the child restraint
system is securely attached.
Otherwise it may cause death or
serious injury to children or other
passengers in sudden braking,
swerving, or accidents.
102674
When installing a child restraint
system using LATCH anchors
with the rear seatbelt fastened,
ensure that the rear seatbelt does
not become caught in the child
restraint system or the lower
LATCH anchorages.

the seatback. ▽
Tether anchorages
1) For right seat
2) For left seatThe tether anchorages (upper anchor-
ages) are provided at the locations shown in the above illustration. For details, refer
to "Top Tether Anchorages"
P58.

2. You will find “ ” marks at the bottoms
of the rear seatback. These marks indi-
cate the positions of the lower anchorages
(bars).
Each lower anchorage is located behind
the cover of seatback bottom.Peel off the anchorage cover completely
from the selected side of the rear
seatback to expose
the anchorages (bars)
to be used for installation of the child
restraint system.
If it is hard to install the child restraint
system because the anchorage cover
returns to the original position, press the
anchorage cover to the seat cushion until
it is flat. 3. While following the instructions
supplied by the child restraint system
manufacturer, connect the lower hooks
onto the lower anchorages located at “ ”
marks on the bottom of the rear seatback.
When the hooks are connected, make
sure the adjacent seatbelts are not
caught.
CAUTION
When you install a child restraint
system, follow the manufacturer’s
instructions supplied with it. After
installing the child restraint system,
check to ensure that it is held
securely in position. If it is not held
tight and secure, the danger of your
child suffering personal injury in
the event of an accident may be
increased.

ible attachment type (which uses tether
belts), push the child restraint system into
the seat cushion and pull both left and
right lower tether belts up to secure the
child restraint system by taking up the
slack in the belt.
5. Latch the top tether hook onto the
tether anchorage that is located on the
rear shelf and tighten the top tether firmly.
For additional instructions, refer to "Top
Tether Anchorages" P58. 6. Before seating a child in the child
restraint system, try to move it back and
forth and left and right to verify that it is
firmly secured in the center of the seat.
7. To remove the child restraint system,
follow the reverse procedures of installa-
tion.
If you have any question concerning this
type of child restraint system, ask your
SUBARU dealer.

Top Tether Anchorages
Your vehicle is equipped with two top
tether anchorages so that a child restraint
system having a top tether can be
installed in the rear seat. When installing a
child restraint system using top tether,
proceed as follows, while observing the
instructions by the
child restraint system
manufacturer.
Since a top tether can provide additional
stability by offering another connection
between a child restraint system and the
vehicle, we recommend that you use a top
tether whenever one is required or avail-
able.

restraint device or in a seatbelt,
whichever is appropriate for the
child’s age, height and weight.Secure ALL types of child restraint
systems (including forward facing
child restraint system) in the REAR
seats at all times.According to accident statistics,
children are safer when properly
restrained in the rear seating posi-
tions than in the front seating posi-
tions.For instructions and precautions
concerning the child restraint sys-
tem, refer to "Chi ld Restraint Sys-
tems" 
P46.
