single tether, route the tether
around the inboard side of the
headrest or head restraint.
If the position you are using
has a fixed or an adjustable
head restraint and you are
using a dual tether, route the
tether around the head
restraint.
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.
3. Before placing a child in the child
restraint, make sure it is securely
held in place. To check, grasp the
child restraint at the LATCH 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.
Replacing LATCH System
Parts After a Crash
{
Warning
A crash can damage the LATCH
system in the vehicle. A damaged
LATCH system may not properly
secure the child restraint, resulting
in serious injury or even death in a
crash. To help make sure the
LATCH system is working properly
after a crash, see your dealer to
have the system inspected and any
necessary replacements made as
soon as possible.
If the vehicle has the LATCH system
and it was being used during a crash,
new LATCH system parts may be
needed.
New parts and repairs may be
necessary even if the LATCH system
was not being used at the time of the
crash.
Securing Child Restraints
(With the Seat Belt in the
Rear Seat)
The vehicle is equipped with a front
center airbag in the inboard side of
the driver seat. Even with a front
center airbag, a child restraint can be
installed in any second row seating
position. If you install a child restraint
in a second row center seat, move the
second row seat to the rearward
position, whenever possible, to
minimize contact with the front
center airbag.
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.
If the child restraint has the LATCH
system, see
for
how and where to install the child
