Buckle the child into the seat according to the child
restraint manufacturer’s directions.
•
When your child restraint is not in use, secure it in the
vehicle with the seat belt or remove it from the vehicle.
Don’t leave it loose in the vehicle. In a sudden stop or
collision, it could strike the occupants or seatbacks and
cause serious personal injury.
Lower Anchors and Tether for CHildren (LATCH)
Each vehicle, except commercial cargo vehicles, is equipped
with the child restraint anchorage system called LATCH,
which stands for Lower Anchors and Tether for CHildren.
Two LATCH child restraint anchorage systems are installed
on all second-row seats and in the center position on all 3rd
row fold-in-floor seats. Second-row seats also feature tether
strap anchorages, located in the rear surface of the seatback.
In addition, all 3-passenger bench seats and 3rd row fold-
in-floor seats are equipped with a child restraint tether
anchor at the center seating position.
When using the tether anchorages in the outboard seat-
ing positions, ensure that the strap is routed over the top
of the seatback and under the head restraint between the
head restraint posts. Except for bench seats with split
seatbacks, when the tether anchorage is used in the center
seating position, the strap should be positioned straight
