6. If your child restraint manufacturer
recommends using a top tether, attach and
tighten the top tether to the top tether anchor.
Refer to the instructions that came with the
child restraint and to
Lower Anchors and
Tethers for Children (LATCH) on page 54 .
7. Push and pull the child restraint in different
directions to be sure it is secure.
To remove the child restraint, if the top tether is
attached to the top tether anchor, disconnect
it. Unbuckle the vehicle’s safety belt and let it
go back all the way. The safety belt will move
freely again and be ready to work for an adult
or larger child passenger.
Securing a Child Restraint in the
Center Rear Seat Position
Many child restraints are too wide to be correctly
secured in the center rear seat, although some
of them will fit there. If the center seat position is
too narrow for your child restraint, secure it in
a rear outside seat position.
If you secure a child restraint in the center seat
position, follow the instructions in
Securing a
Child Restraint in a Rear Outside Seat Position
on page 61
.
Securing a Child Restraint in the
Right Front Seat Position
Your vehicle has a right front passenger’s
airbag. A rear seat is a safer place to secure a
forward-facing child restraint. See
Where to
Put the Restraint on page 52 .
In addition, your vehicle has a passenger sensing
system. The passenger sensing system is
designed to turn off the right front passenger’s
frontal airbag when an infant in a rear-facing infant
seat or a small child in a forward-facing child
restraint or booster seat is detected. See
Passenger Sensing System on page 78 and
Passenger Airbag Status Indicator on page 182
for more information on this including important
safety information.
