Installing Three Child Restraints:
1. Place a child restraint on each out-
board rear seat. Route the tether straps
following the directions for right and
left seating positions, above.
2. Attach both hooks to the center tether
strap loop, but do not tighten the straps
yet.
3. Place a child restraint on the center rear
seat. Route the tether strap following
the directions for the center seating po-
sition, above.
4. Attach the hook to the outboard tether
strap loop.
5. Tighten the tether straps according to the child seat manufacturer’s instructions,
tightening the right and left tether straps before the center tether strap.
WARNING!
Securely lock the seat cushion into position before using the seat. Otherwise, the
seat will not provide the proper stability for child seats and/or passengers. An
improperly latched seat cushion could cause serious injury.
WARNING!
• In a collision, an unrestrained child, even a tiny baby, can become a projectile
inside the vehicle. The force required to hold even an infant on your lap could
become so great that you could not hold the child, no matter how strong you are. The
child and others could be severely injured or killed. Any child riding in your vehicle
should be in a proper restraint for the child's size.
• Rearward-facing child seats must never be used in the front seat of a vehicle with
a front passenger air bag. An air bag deployment could cause severe injury or death
to infants in this position.
• Only use a rearward-facing child restraint in a vehicle with a rear seat.
• Improper installation of a child restraint to the LATCH anchorages can lead to failure
of an infant or child restraint. The child could be severely injured or killed. Follow
the manufacturer’s directions exactly when installing an infant or child restraint.
• An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to increased head motion and
possible injury to the child. Use only the anchor positions directly behind the child
seat to secure a child restraint top tether strap.
• If your vehicle is equipped with a split rear seat, make sure the tether strap does not
slip into the opening between the seatbacks as you remove slack in the strap.
