Replacing LATCH
System Parts After a
Crash
{Warning
A crash can damage the
LATCH system in the
vehicle. A damaged LATCH
system may not properly
secure the child restraint,
resulting in serious injury or
even death in a crash. To
help make sure the LATCH
system is working properly
after a crash, see your
dealer to have the system
inspected and any
necessary replacements
made as soon as possible.If the vehicle has the LATCH
system and it was being used
during a crash, new LATCH
system parts may be needed.
New parts and repairs may be
necessary even if the LATCH
system was not being used at
the time of the crash.
Securing Child
Restraints (With the
Seat Belt in the
Rear Seat)
When securing a child
restraint with the seat belts in
a rear seat position, study the
instructions that came with
the child restraint to make
sure it is compatible with this
vehicle.
If the child restraint has the
LATCH system, see Lower
Anchors and Tethers for
Children (LATCH System)
080
for how and where to install
the child restraint using
LATCH. If a child restraint is
secured in the vehicle using a seat belt and it uses a top
tether, see Lower Anchors
and Tethers for Children
(LATCH System)
080 for top
tether anchor locations.
Do not secure a child seat in a
position without a top tether
anchor if a national or local law
requires that the top tether be
anchored, or if the instructions
that come with the child
restraint say that the top
tether must be anchored.
In Canada, the law requires
that forward-facing child
restraints have a top tether,
and that the tether be
attached.
If the child restraint or vehicle
seat position does not have
the LATCH system, you will be
using the seat belt to secure
the child restraint. Be sure to
follow the instructions that
came with the child restraint.

If more than one child restraint
needs to be installed in the
rear seat, be sure to read
Where to Put the Restraint
079.
1. Put the child restraint on the seat.
2. Pick up the latch plate and run the lap and shoulder
portions of the vehicle seat
belt through or around the
child restraint. Ensure the
seat belt webbing is routed
as directly as possible and is
not caught on seat handles
or plastic trim. The child
restraint instructions will
show you how.
3. Push the latch plate into thebuckle until it clicks.
Position the release button
on the buckle, away from
the child restraint, so that
the seat belt could be
quickly unbuckled if
necessary.
There must not be direct
contact of the child
restraint to the push button.4. Pull the shoulder belt all theway out of the retractor to
set the lock. When the
retractor lock is set, the belt
can be tightened but not
pulled out of the retractor.

5. To tighten the belt, pushdown on the child restraint,
pull the shoulder portion of
the belt to tighten the lap
portion of the belt, and feed
the shoulder belt back into
the retractor. When
installing a forward-facing
child restraint, it may be
helpful to use your knee to
push down on the child
restraint as you tighten
the belt. Try to pull the belt out of
the retractor to make sure
the retractor is locked. If the
retractor is not locked,
repeat Steps 4 and 5.
6. If the child restraint has a top tether, follow the child
restraint manufacturer's
instructions regarding the
use of the top tether. See
Lower Anchors and Tethers
for Children (LATCH
System) 080.
7. Before placing a child in the child restraint, make sure it
is securely held in place. To
check, grasp the child
restraint at the seat belt
path and attempt to move it
side to side and back and
forth. When the child
restraint is properly
installed, there should be no
more than 2.5 cm (1 in) of
movement.
To remove the child restraint,
unbuckle the vehicle seat belt
and let it return to the stowed position. If the top tether is
attached to a top tether
anchor, disconnect it.
Securing Child
Restraints (With the
Seat Belt in the
Front Seat)
This vehicle has airbags.
A rear seat is a safer place to
secure a forward-facing child
restraint. See Where to Put
the Restraint
079.
In addition, the vehicle has a
passenger sensing system
which is designed to turn off
the front outboard passenger
frontal airbag and knee airbag
under certain conditions. See
Passenger Sensing System
0 66 and
Passenger Airbag Status
Indicator 0113 for more
information, including
important safety information.

Seats and Restraints 91
Never put a rear-facing child
seat in the front. This is
because the risk to the
rear-facing child is so great if
the airbag deploys.
{Warning
A child in a rear-facing child
restraint can be seriously
injured or killed if the front
outboard passenger frontal
airbag inflates. This is
because the back of the
rear-facing child restraint
would be very close to the
inflating airbag. A child in a
forward-facing child
restraint can be seriously
injured or killed if the front
outboard passenger frontal
airbag inflates and the
passenger seat is in a
forward position.
Even if the passenger
sensing system has turned
off the front outboard
passenger airbag(s), no(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
system is fail-safe. No one
can guarantee that an
airbag will not deploy under
some unusual circumstance,
even though the airbag(s)
are off.
Secure rear-facing child
restraints in a rear seat,
even if the airbag(s) are off.
If you secure a
forward-facing child
restraint in the front
outboard passenger seat,
always move the seat as far
back as it will go. It is better
to secure the child restraint
in a rear seat.
See Passenger Sensing
System066 for additional
information.
If the child restraint uses a top
tether, see Lower Anchors
and Tethers for Children
(LATCH System) 080 for top
tether anchor locations. Do not secure a child seat in a
position without a top tether
anchor if a national or local law
requires that the top tether be
anchored, or if the instructions
that come with the child
restraint say that the top
tether must be anchored.
In Canada, the law requires
that forward-facing child
restraints have a top tether,
and that the tether be
attached.
When using the lap-shoulder
belt to secure the child
restraint in this position, follow
the instructions that came
with the child restraint and the
following instructions:
1. Move the seat as far back as it will go before securing
the forward-facing child
restraint. Move the seat
upward or the seatback to
an upright position,
if needed, to get a tight
installation of the child
restraint. There must be

finger clearance between
the push button and the
child restraint.
When the passenger
sensing system has turned
off the front outboard
passenger frontal airbag
and knee airbag, the OFF
indicator on the passenger
airbag status indicator
should light and stay lit
when you start the vehicle.
See Passenger Airbag
Status Indicator0113.
2. Put the child restraint on the seat.
3. Pick up the latch plate and run the lap and shoulder
portions of the vehicle seat
belt through or around the
restraint. Ensure the seat
belt webbing is routed as
direct as possible and is not
caught on seat handles or
plastic trim. The child
restraint instructions will
show you how.
Tilt the latch plate to adjust
the belt if needed.
4. Push the latch plate into thebuckle until it clicks. Position the release button
on the buckle, away from
the child restraint, so that
the seat belt could be
quickly unbuckled if
necessary.
5. Pull the shoulder belt all the
way out of the retractor to
set the lock. When the
retractor lock is set, the belt
can be tightened but not
pulled out of the retractor.

6. To tighten the belt, pushdown on the child restraint,
pull the shoulder portion of
the belt to tighten the lap
portion of the belt, and feed
the shoulder belt back into
the retractor.
There must be finger
clearance between the push
button and the child
restraint. If there is not
clearance between the
buckle push button and the
child restraint, move the
seat upward and repeat prior installation steps.
Otherwise secure the child
restraint in a rear seat.
When installing a
forward-facing child
restraint, it may be helpful
to use your knee to push
down on the child restraint
as you tighten the belt.
Try to pull the belt out of
the retractor to make sure
the retractor is locked. If the
retractor is not locked,
repeat Steps 5 and 6.
7. Before placing a child in the child restraint, make sure it
is securely held in place. To
check, grasp the child
restraint at the seat belt
path and attempt to move it
side to side and back and
forth. When the child
restraint is properly
installed, there should be no
more than 2.5 cm (1 in) of
movement. If the airbags are off, the OFF
indicator in the passenger
airbag status indicator will
come on and stay on when the
vehicle is started.
If a child restraint has been
installed and the ON indicator
is lit, see
“If the On Indicator Is
Lit for a Child Restraint” under
Passenger Sensing System
0 66.
To remove the child restraint,
unbuckle the vehicle seat belt
and let it return to the stowed
position.
