See Securing Child Restraints (With the Seat
Belt in the Rear Seat) 086 or
Securing Child Restraints (With the Seat Belt
in the Front Passenger Seat) 088. Child restraints built after March 2014 are
labeled with the maximum child weight,
with which the LATCH system can be used
for installing the child restraint.
The following explains how to attach a child
restraint with these attachments in the
vehicle. Not all vehicle seating positions have lower
anchors. In this case, the seat belt must be
used (with top tether where available) to
secure the child restraint. See
Securing Child
Restraints (With the Seat Belt in the Rear
Seat) 086 or
Securing Child Restraints (With the Seat Belt
in the Front Passenger Seat) 088.

Lower Anchors
Lower anchors (1) are metal bars built into
the vehicle. There are two lower anchors for
each LATCH seating position that will
accommodate a child restraint with lower
attachments (2).
Top Tether Anchor
A top tether (3, 4) is used to secure the top
of the child restraint to the vehicle. A top
tether anchor is built into the vehicle. The
top tether attachment hook (2) on the child
restraint connects to the top tether anchor
in the vehicle in order to reduce the forward
movement and rotation of the child restraint
during driving or in the event of a crash.
The child restraint may have a single
tether (3) or a dual tether (4). Either will
have a single attachment hook (2) to secure
the top tether to the anchor.
Some child restraints with a top tether are
designed for use with or without the top
tether being attached. Others require thetop tether always to be attached. In Canada,
the law requires that forward-facing child
restraints have a top tether, and that the
tether be attached. Be sure to read and
follow the instructions for your child
restraint.

To assist in locating the lower anchors, each
seating position with lower anchors has two
labels near the crease between the seatback
and the seat cushion.
Do not install a child restraint that requires
lower anchors in the center rear seating
position. SeeSecuring Child Restraints (With
the Seat Belt in the Rear Seat) 086 or
Securing Child Restraints (With the Seat Belt
in the Front Passenger Seat) 088 for more
information.
For uplevel models, there are top tether
anchor symbols to assist you in locating the
top tether anchors.
Uplevel Models
For uplevel models, the top tether anchors
for each rear seating position are on the
back of the rear seatback. Release the
seatback and rotate the seatback forward to
access the anchors. See Rear Seats049. Be
sure to use an anchor located directly
behind the seating position where the child
restraint will be placed.Driver Side Anchor and Loop (Base Model)

Passenger Side Loop (Base Model)
For base models, the top tether is routed
through loops (2) to the top tether
anchors (1). Be sure to use the correct
anchor for the seating position where the
child restraint will be placed.
Be sure to read the following instructions to
properly install a child restraint using these
loops and anchors.
Do not secure a child restraint in a position
without a top tether anchor if a national or
local law requires that the top tether be
attached, or if the instructions that come
with the child restraint say that the top
tether must be attached. According to accident statistics, children and
infants are safer when properly restrained in
a child restraint system or infant restraint
system secured in a rear seating position.
See
Where to Put the Restraint 075 for
additional information.
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
Do not attach more than one child
restraint to a single anchor, except for
the center top tether anchors in the crew
cab models. 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.
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
A child or others could be injured. To
reduce the risk of serious or fatal injuries
during a crash, attach only one child
restraint per anchor.
{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.
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(Continued)

Warning (Continued)
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 seat cushion when
the seat is occupied. Do not fold the
empty rear seat with a seat belt buckled.
This could 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 075.
Uplevel Models 1. For forward-facing child restraints, attach and tighten the top tether to the top
tether anchor, if your vehicle has one. Follow the child restraint instructions and
the vehicle LATCH anchor weight limits
described at the beginning of this
section, and the following steps:
1.1. Rotate the seatback forward. See
Rear Seats 049.
1.2. Find the top tether anchor.
1.3. Route and attach the top tether according to your child restraint
instructions and the following
instructions:
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.
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 single tether, route the
tether in between the headrest or
head restraint posts.
2. Make sure the child restraint top tether hook is completely closed and secured to
the top tether anchor.
3. Raise the seatback. See Rear Seats049.

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 belt 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. Base Models
