If the child restraint has the LATCH
system, see Lower Anchors and
Tethers for Children (LATCH)
on page 1-31 for how and where
to install the child restraint
using LATCH. If a child restraint is
secured using a safety belt and
it uses a top tether, see Lower
Anchors and Tethers for Children
(LATCH)
on page 1-31 for top tether
anchor locations.

Do not secure a child seat in a
position without a top tether anchor
if a national or local law requires
that the top tether be anchored,
or if the instructions that come with
the child restraint say that the
top strap must be anchored.

In Canada, the law requires that
forward-facing child restraints have
a top tether, and that the tether
be attached.

You will be using the lap-shoulder
belt to secure the child restraint in
this position. Follow the instructions
that came with the child restraint.

1. Move the seat as far back as it

will go before securing the
forward-facing child restraint.

When the passenger sensing
system has turned off the
right front passenger frontal
airbag, the off indicator on the
passenger airbag status indicator
should light and stay lit when
the vehicle is started. See
Passenger Airbag Status
Indicator
on page 3-30.

2. Put the child restraint on

the seat.

3. Pick up the latch plate, and run

the lap and shoulder portions
of the vehicle’s safety belt
through or around the restraint.
The child restraint instructions
will show you how.

4. Push the latch plate into the

buckle until it clicks.

Position the release button on
the buckle so that the safety belt
could be quickly unbuckled if
necessary.
