Several manufacturers offer child restraints
for infants and children of various sizes.
When selecting any child restraint, keep the
following points in mind:
• Choose only a restraint with a label certify-ing that it complies with Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard 213 or Canadian
Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213.
• Check the child restraint in your vehicle to be sure it is compatible with the vehicle's
seat and seat belt system.
•
If the child restraint is compatible with your
vehicle, place your child in the child restraint
and check the various adjustments to be sure
the child restraint is compatible with your
child. Choose a child restraint that is de-
signed for your child's height and weight.
Always follow all recommended procedures.
• If the combined weight of the child and child restraint is less than 65 lbs. (29.5 kg),
you may use either the LATCH anchors or
the seat belt to install the child restraint (not
both at the same time).
• 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 manu- facturer’s instructions for installation. All U.S. states and Canadian provinces or
territories require that infants and small
children be restrained in an approved child
restraint at all times while the vehicle is be-
ing operated. Canadian law requires the top
tether strap on forward-facing child re-
straints be secured to the designated anchor
point on the vehicle.
LATCH (Lower Anchors and
Tethers for CHildren) SYSTEM
Your vehicle is equipped with special anchor
points that are used with LATCH 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 instructions for installation.
The LATCH lower anchor points are provided
to install child restraints in the following po-
sitions only:
• 2nd row bench seats (if so equipped)
• 2nd row captain’s seats (if so equipped)
• 3rd row driver’s side seating position

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use and installation of child
restraints could result in serious injury or
death of a child or other passengers in a
sudden stop or collision:
• Attach LATCH system compatible child
restraints only at the locations shown in
the illustration.
• Do not secure a child restraint in the 2nd
row center position and 2nd row driver’s
side seating position at the same time.
• Inspect the lower anchors by inserting
your fingers into the lower anchor area.
Feel to make sure there are no obstruc-
tions over the anchors such as seat belt
webbing or seat cushion material. The
child restraint will not be secured prop-
erly 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 anchorages,
and a child could be seriously injured or
killed in a collision.

LATCH in the center 2nd row
seating position (if so equipped)
A 5th LATCH anchor can be found between
the outboard LATCH anchor pairs. It is spe-
cifically designed to be used together with
the inboard LATCH anchor on the driver’s
side, in order to install a Child Restraint Sys-
tem (CRS) in the 2nd row center seating po-
sition. Do not use the 5th LATCH anchor in
combination with an anchor other than the
driver’s side inboard LATCH anchor.
These anchors utilize standard LATCH an-
chor spacing,
OAof 11.02 in (280 mm).
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 seri-
ous injury or death.
• When installing the CRS in the center
2nd row seating position with the in-
board LATCH anchors, be careful to en-
sure any occupant or CRS in the out-
board seating positions is properly
restrained using the vehicle seat belt and
there is no interference with the center
CRS installation. If the outboard occu-
pants 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.

•When installing the CRS in the 2nd row
seating position, use the seat back re-
cline feature to align the left and right
sides of the seat back, creating one
evenly reclined surface. Never install a
CRS in the center seating position when
one part of the seat back is further re-
clined than the other. This may create an
unstable surface on which to install the
CRS. Failure to evenly recline the seat
backs before CRS installation could in-
crease the risk of the occupant’s serious
injury or death. Remember to re-check
that the CRS is properly installed any
time the seats are reclined or adjusted.

Installing child restraint LATCH
lower anchor attachments
LATCH compatible child restraints include
two rigid or webbing-mounted attachments
that can be connected to two anchors lo-
cated at certain seating positions in your ve-
hicle. With this system, you do not have to
use a vehicle seat belt to secure the child
restraint. Check your child restraint for a label
stating that it is compatible with LATCH. This
information may also be in the instructions
provided by the child restraint manufacturer.When installing a child restraint, carefully
read and follow the instructions in this
manual and those supplied with the child
restraint.
Top tether anchor
WARNING
• Do not allow cargo to contact the top
tether strap when it is attached to the
top tether anchor. Properly secure the
cargo so it does not contact the top
tether strap. Cargo that is not properly
secured or cargo that contacts the top
tether strap may damage it during a col-
lision. A child could be seriously injured or
killed in a collision if the top tether strap
is damaged.
• 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 anchorages,
and a child could be seriously injured or
killed in a collision.

REAR-FACING CHILD
RESTRAINT INSTALLATION
USING LATCH
WARNING
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 equip-
ment to the vehicle. Doing so could damage
the child restraint anchorages. The child re-
straint will not be properly installed using
the damaged anchorages, and a child could
be seriously injured or killed in a collision.
For additional information, see “Child safety”
(P. 1-25) and “Child restraints” (P. 1-28) for all
Warnings and Cautions before installing a
child restraint.
Do not use the lower anchors if the combined
weight of the child and the child restraint
exceeds 65 lbs. (29.5 kg). If the combined
weight of the child and the child restraint is
greater than 65 lbs. (29.5 kg), use the vehi-
cle's seat belt (not the lower anchors) to in-
stall the child restraint. Be sure to follow the
child restraint manufacturer's instructions for
installation. Follow these steps to install a rear-facing
child restraint in the 2nd row seats using the
LATCH system:
1. Position the child restraint on the seat.
Always follow the child restraint manu-
facturer's instructions.
2. Secure the child restraint anchor attach-ments to the LATCH lower anchors.
Check to make sure the LATCH attach-
ment is properly attached to the lower
anchors.
