CHILD RESTRAINT INSTALLATION

USING LATCH

WARNING

Attach LATCH system compatible child

restraints only at the locations shown.

For the LATCH lower anchor locations

see “LATCH (Latch Anchors and Tethers

for CHildren) system”. If a child restraint

is not secured properly, your child could

be seriously injured or killed in an

accident.

The LATCH anchors are designed to

withstand only those loads imposed by

correctly fitted child restraints. Under

no circumstances are they to be used

for adult seat belts or harnesses.

Inspect the lower anchors by inserting

your fingers into the lower anchor area

and feeling to make sure there are no

obstructions over the LATCH anchors,

such as seat belt webbing or seat cush-

ion material. The child restraint will not

be secured properly if the LATCH an-

chors are obstructed.

Front-facing

Follow these steps to install a front-facing child

restraint using LATCH:

1. Position the child restraint on the seat. Al-

ways follow the child restraint manufactur-

er’s instructions.

2. Secure the child restraint anchor attach-

ments to the LATCH lower anchors. Check

to make sure the LATCH attachment is prop-

erly attached to the lower anchors.

3. The back of the child restraint should be

secured against the vehicle seatback.

If necessary, adjust or remove the head restraint

to obtain the correct child restraint fit. See “Head

restraint adjustment” earlier in this section.
If the head restraint is removed, store it in a

secure place. Be sure to reinstall the head re-

straint when the child restraint is removed.
