Buckle the child into the seat according
to the child restraint manufacturer’s di-
rections.
WARNING!
When your child restraint is not in
use, secure it in the vehicle with the
seat belt or remove it from the ve-
hicle. Do not leave it loose in the
vehicle. In a sudden stop or accident,
it could strike the occupants or seat-
backs and cause serious personal
injury.
Lower Anchors and Tether for
CHildren (LATCH)
Your vehicle’s second row passenger
seats are equipped with the child restraint
anchor system called LATCH. The LATCH
system provides for the installation of the
child restraint without using the vehicle’s
seat belts, instead securing the child re-
straint using lower anchors and upper
tether straps from the child restraint to the
vehicle structure.
LATCH-compatible child restraint systems
are now available. However, because the
lower anchors are to be introduced over a
period of years, child restraint systems
having attachments for those anchors will
continue to have features for installation
using the vehicle’s seat belts. Child re-
straints having tether straps and hooks for
connection to the top tether anchors have
been available for some time. For some
older child restraints, many child restraint
manufacturers offer add-on tether strap
kits or retrofit kits. You are urged to take
advantage of all the available attachments
provided with your child restraint in any
vehicle.
All three second-row passenger seating
positions have lower anchors that are ca-
pable
of
accommodating
LATCH-
compatible child seats. You should never
install LATCH-compatible child seats so
that two seats share a common lower
anchorage. If installing child seats in ad-
jacent seating positions, or if your child
restraints are not LATCH-compatible, in-
stall the restraints using the vehicle’s seat
belts.
