In some areas of the United States
and Canada, Certified Child
Passenger Safety Technicians
(CPSTs) are available to inspect
and demonstrate how to correctly
use and install child restraints.
In the U.S., refer to the National
Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) website to
locate the nearest child safety seat
inspection station. For CPST
availability in Canada, check with
Transport Canada or the Provincial
Ministry of Transportation office.
Securing the Child Within the
Child Restraint
{
WARNING
A child can be seriously injured
or killed in a crash if the child is
not properly secured in the
child restraint. Secure the child
properly following the instructions
that came with that child restraint.
Lower Anchors and
Tethers for Children
(LATCH System)
(Coupe and Convertible
Models Only)
Some child restraints have a
LATCH system. As part of the
LATCH system, your child restraint
may have lower attachments and/or
a top tether. The LATCH system
can help hold the child restraint in
place during driving or in a crash.
Some vehicles have lower and/or
top tether anchors designed to
secure a child restraint with lower
attachments and/or a top tether.
Some child restraints with a top
tether are designed to be used
whether the top tether is anchored
or not. Other child restraints require
that the top tether be anchored.
A national or local law may require
that the top tether be anchored.
In Canada, the law requires that
forward-facing child restraints have
a top tether, and that the tether be
attached.
Your vehicle does not have lower
anchors or top tether anchors to
secure a child restraint with the
LATCH system. If a national or
local law requires that your top
tether be anchored, do not use a
child restraint in this vehicle
because a top tether cannot be
properly anchored. You must use
the safety belts to secure your child
restraint in this vehicle, unless a
national or local law requires that
the top tether be anchored. Refer to
the child restraint instructions and
instructions in this manual for
securing a child restraint using the
vehicle's safety belts. See Securing
Child Restraints on page 3‑40.
