Securing a Child Restraint
Designed for the LATCH
System
{Warning
A child could be seriously
injured or killed in a crash if
the child restraint is not
properly attached to the
vehicle using either the
LATCH anchors or the
vehicle seat belt. Follow the
instructions that came with
the child restraint and the
instructions in this manual.
{Warning
To reduce the risk of serious
or fatal injuries during a
crash, do not attach more
than one child restraint to a
single anchor. Attaching
more than one child
restraint to a single anchor
could cause the anchor or
attachment to come loose or

even break during a crash.
A child or others could be
injured.
{Warning
Children can be seriously
injured or strangled if a
shoulder belt is wrapped
around their neck. The
shoulder belt can tighten but
cannot be loosened if it is
locked. The shoulder belt
locks when it is pulled all the
way out of the retractor.
It unlocks when the shoulder
belt is allowed to go all the
way back into the retractor,
but it cannot do this if it is
wrapped around a child’s
neck. If the shoulder belt is
locked and tightened around
a child’s neck, the only way
to loosen the belt is to cut it.(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
Buckle any unused seat
belts behind the child
restraint so children cannot
reach them. Pull the
shoulder belt all the way out
of the retractor to set the
lock, and tighten the belt
behind the child restraint
after the child restraint has
been installed.
Caution
Do not let the LATCH
attachments rub against the
vehicle’s seat belts. This may
damage these parts.
If necessary, move buckled
seat belts to avoid rubbing
the LATCH attachments.
Do not fold the rear
seatback when the seat is
occupied. Do not fold the
empty rear seat with a seat
belt buckled. This could

Caution (Continued)
damage the seat belt or the
seat. Unbuckle and return
the seat belt to its stowed
position, before folding
the seat.
If you need to secure more
than one child restraint in the
rear seat, see Where to Put
the Restraint 091.
1. Put the child restraint on the seat.
2. Attach and tighten the lower attachments to the
lower anchors. If the child

tether and the seat belt.
Refer to your child
restraint manufacturer
instructions and the
instructions in this manual.

proper fitment. If you
are using a single
tether, route the tether
in between the
headrest or head
restraint posts.
If the position you are
using has a fixed
headrest or head
restraint and you are
using a single tether,
route the tether
around the inboard or
outboard side of the
headrest or head
restraint.
If the position you are
using has an adjustable
headrest or head
restraint, adjust it
accordingly to allow
proper fitment. If you
are using a dual tether,
route the tether
around the headrest or
head restraint posts.
If the child restraint is
installed next to a
center seat, make sure
the top tether does not
interfere with the
center seating position
shoulder belt/retractor.
If it does, find another
suitable seating
position to install the
child restraint.4. Before placing a child in
the child restraint, make
sure it is securely held in
place. To check, grasp the
child restraint at the
LATCH path and attempt
to move it side to side and
back and forth. There
should be no more than
2.5 cm (1 in) of movement,
for proper installation.
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)
092
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) 092 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

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 intothe buckle 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 allthe 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.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.
