Always attach the tether strap to the
correct tether anchor position:
Attaching the tether strap to the
incorrect tether anchor position is
dangerous. In a collision, the tether
strap could come off and loosen the
child-restraint system. If the
child-restraint system moves it could
result in death or injury to the child.
Always install the head restraint and
adjust it to the appropriate position
after removing the child-restraint
system:
Driving with the head restraint
removed is dangerous as impact to the
occupant's head cannot be prevented
during emergency braking or in a
collision, which could result in a
serious accident, injury or death.
Refer to Head Restraints on page 2-18.
Installation on rear center seat
The LATCH lower anchors at the center
of the rear seat are much further apart
than the sets of LATCH lower anchors
for child-restraint system installation at
other seating positions. Child-restraint
systems with rigid LATCH attachments
cannot be installed on the center
seating position. Some LATCH
equipped child-restraint systems can
be placed in the center position and
will reach the nearest LATCH lower
anchors which are 420 mm (16.5 in)
apart. LATCH compatible
child-restraint systems (with
attachments on belt webbing) can be
used at this seating position only if the
child-restraint system manufacturer's
instructions state that the
child-restraint system can be installed
to LATCH lower anchors that are 420
mm (16.5 in) apart. Do not attach two
child-restraint systems to the same
LATCH lower anchor. If your
child-restraint system has a tether, it
must also be used for your child's
optimum safety.
The procedure is the same as the
installation for the rear outboard seats.

WARNING
Always remove the head restraint and
install child-restraint system (except
when installing a backless booster
seat):
Installing a child-restraint system
without removing the head restraint is
dangerous. The child-restraint system
cannot be installed correctly which
may result in death or injury to the
child in a collision.
