7. Tighten the child safety seat tether strap
according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

If the safety seat is not anchored properly,
the risk of a child being injured in a collision

greatly increases.

Attaching safety seats with LATCH (Lower
Anchors and Tethers for Children) attachments

Some child safety seats have two rigid or webbing
mounted attachments that connect to two anchors
at certain seating positions in your vehicle. This type
of child seat eliminates the need to use safety belts
to attach the child seat. For forward-facing child
seats, the tether strap must also be attached to the
proper tether anchor. See Attaching safety seats
with tether straps
in this chapter.

Your vehicle has LATCH anchors for child seat
installation at the seating positions marked with the
child seat symbol.

The center of
the rear seat is

NOT designed as a
seating position. The
LATCH anchors were
not designed to be
used with a child
seat in the center
position and there is
no tether anchor
available at the
center. Attempted
use of the center as a
seating position will
increase the risk of
injury or death in the
event of a collision.
