FORWARD-FACING CHILD
RESTRAINT INSTALLATION USING
LATCH
Refer to all Warnings and Cautions in “Child
safety” and “Child restraints” earlier in this sec-
tion before installing a child restraint.
Follow these steps to install a forward-facing
child restraint using the LATCH system.
1. Position the child restraint on the seat. Always
follow the child restraint manufacturer’s
instructions.
2. Secure the child restraint anchor attachments
to the LATCH lower anchors. Check to make
sure that the LATCH attachment is properly
attached to the lower anchors.
If the child restraint is equipped with a top
tether strap, route the top tether strap and
secure the tether strap to the tether anchor
point. See “Installing top tether strap”. Do not
install child restraints that require the use of a
top tether strap in seating positions that do not
have a top tether anchor.
3. The back of the child restraint should be se-
cured against the seatback.
If necessary, remove the head restraint/
headrest to obtain the correct child restraint
fit. If the head restraint/headrest is removed,
store it in a secure place. Be sure to reinstall
the head restraint/headrest when the
child restraint is removed. See “Adjust” for
headrest adjustment information.
If the seating position does not have an adjust-
able head restraint/headrest and it is interfer-
ing with the proper child restraint fit, try an-
other seating position or a different child
restraint.
4. For child restraints that are equipped with
webbing-mounted attachments, remove any
additional slack from the anchor attachments.
Press downward and rearward firmly in the
center of the child restraint with your knee to
compress the vehicle seat cushion and seat-
back while tightening the webbing of the an-
chor attachments.
5. Tighten the tether strap according to the
manufacturer’s instructions to remove any
slack.
