Seats and Restraints
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.
Child restraints and booster
seats vary considerably in size,
and some may fit in certain
seating positions better than
others. Do not install a child
restraint in any rear seating
position where it cannot be
installed securely.
Depending on where you place
the child restraint and the size
of the child restraint, you may
not be able to access adjacent
seat belts or LATCH anchors
for additional passengers or
child restraints. Adjacent
seating positions should not
be used if the child restraint
prevents access to or
interferes with the routing of
the seat belt.
The seat in front of an
installed child restraint should
be adjusted to ensure proper
installation according to the
child restraint manual.
Wherever a child restraint is
installed, be sure to follow the
instructions that came with
the child restraint and secure
the child restraint properly.
Keep in mind that an
unsecured child restraint can
move around in a collision or
sudden stop and injure people
in the vehicle. Be sure to
properly secure any child
restraint in the vehicle
—
even
when no child is in it.
Lower Anchors and
Tethers for Children
(LATCH System)
The LATCH system secures a
child restraint during driving or
in a crash. LATCH
attachments on the child
restraint are used to attach
the child restraint to the
anchors in the vehicle. This
system is designed to make
installation of a child restraint
easier.
In order to use the LATCH
system in your vehicle, you
need a child restraint that has
LATCH attachments.
LATCH-compatible rear-facing
and forward-facing child seats
can be properly installed using
either the LATCH anchors or
the vehicle
’
s seat belts. Do not
use both the seat belts and
the LATCH anchorage system
to secure a rear-facing or
forward-facing child restraint.
