WARNING
. Never allow anyone to ride in the
trunk or on the rear seat when it is in
the fold-down position. Use of these
areas by passengers without proper
restraints could result in serious in-
jury in an accident or sudden stop.
. Properly secure all cargo with ropes
or straps to help prevent it from
sliding or shifting. Do not place cargo
higher than the seatbacks. In a sud-
den stop or collision, unsecured cargo
could cause personal injury.
. When returning the seatbacks to the
upright position, be certain they are
completely secured in the latched
position. If they are not completely
secured, passengers may be injured in
an accident or sudden stop.
. Closely supervise children when they
are around cars to prevent them from
playing and becoming locked in the
trunk where they could be seriously
injured. Keep the car locked, with the
rear seatback and trunk lid securely

territories require that infants and small
children be restrained in an approved child
restraint at all times while the vehicle is
being operated. Canadian law requires the
top tether strap on forward-facing child
restraints be secured to the designated
anchor point on the vehicle.

Lower Anchors and Tethers for
CHildren System (LATCH)
Your vehicle is equipped with special anchor
points that are used with the LATCH (Lower
Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) system
compatible child restraints. This system may
also be referred to as the ISOFIX or ISOFIX
compatible system. With this system, you do
not have to use a vehicle seat belt to secure
the child restraint unless the combined
weight of the child and child restraint
exceeds 65 lbs (29.5 kg). If the combined
weight of the child and child restraint is
greater than 65 lbs (29.5 kg), use the
vehicle’s seat belt (not the lower anchors)
to install the child restraint. Be sure to follow
the child restraint manufacturer’s instruc-
tions for installation.
The LATCH anchor points can be used to
install child restraints in either of the rear
outboard seating positions or in the center
rear seating position. Please refer to the
following section of this Owner’s Manual for
specific information about installing a child
restraint in the center rear seating position
using the LATCH anchors.

LATCH lower anchor
WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use and installa-
tion of child restraints could result in
serious injury or death of a child or other
passengers in a sudden stop or collision:
.Only attach LATCH system compa-
tible child restraints to the lower
anchors shown in the illustration.
(See the following sections of this
Owner’s Manual for installation gui-
dance.)
. Inspect the lower anchors by insert-
ing your fingers into the lower anchor
area. Feel to make sure there are no
obstructions over the anchors such as
seat belt webbing or seat cushion
material. The child restraint will not
be secured properly if the lower
anchors are obstructed.
Child restraint anchorages are designed
to withstand only those loads imposed
by correctly fitted child restraints. Under
no circumstances are they to be used to
attach adult seat belts, or other items or
equipment to the vehicle. Doing so could
damage the child restraint anchorages. The child restraint will not be properly
installed using the damaged anchorage,
and a child could be seriously injured or
killed in a collision.

LATCH lower anchor location
Models without rear seat folding:

label is attached to the seatback to help you
locate the LATCH lower anchors.

LATCH in the center rear seating
position
There are no LATCH anchors dedicated to
the center rear seating position. However,
the inboard LATCH anchors belonging to
the two outboard seating positions (indi-
cated by the arrows) can be used together to
secure a CRS in the center rear seating
position. These anchors are separated by a
distance
of 15.6 in (395 mm). Before
attempting to secure a CRS in this seating
position, ensure that the CRS manufac-
turer’s instructions permit the use of LATCH
anchors with the spacing indicated above.
(These are sometimes referred to as “shared
anchors” or “borrowed anchors”.) CRS with rigid lower attachments cannot be
installed in the center seat. This type of CRS
should only be installed in the outboard
seating positions.
WARNING
Never attach two CRS attachments to
the same LATCH anchor. This may over-
load the anchor in a collision, which could
increase the risk of the occupant’s
serious injury or death.
When installing the CRS in the center
rear seating position with the inboard
LATCH anchors, be careful to ensure any
occupant or CRS in the outboard seating
positions is properly restrained using the
vehicle seat belt and there is no inter-
ference with the center CRS installation.
If the outboard occupants cannot be
properly restrained, consider using the
vehicle seat belt to restrain the CRS in
the center seating position, or moving
the CRS to another position instead.
