● If the child restraint is compatible with your

vehicle, place your child in the child restraint
and check the various adjustments to be
sure the child restraint is compatible with
your child. Choose a child restraint that is
designed for your child’s height and weight.
Always follow all recommended procedures.

● If the combined weight of the child and child

restraint is less than 65 lbs (29.5 kg), you
may use either the LATCH anchors or the
seat belt to install the child restraint (not both
at the same time).

● If the combined weight of the child and child

restraint is greater than 65 lbs (29.5 kg), use
the vehicle’s seat belt (not the lower an-
chors) to install the child restraint.

● Be sure to follow the child restraint manufac-

turer’s instructions for installation.

All U.S. states and Canadian provinces or
territories require that infants and small
children be restrained in an approved child
restraint at all times while the vehicle is
being operated. Canadian law requires the
top tether strap on forward-facing child re-
straints be secured to the designated an-
chor point on the vehicle.

LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers
for CHildren) SYSTEM

Your vehicle is equipped with special anchor
points that are used with LATCH system compat-
ible child restraints. This system may also be
referred to as the ISOFIX or ISOFIX compatible
system. With this system, you do not have to use
a vehicle seat belt to secure the child restraint
unless the combined weight of the child and child
restraint exceeds 65 lbs (29.5 kg). If the com-
bined weight of the child and child restraint is
greater than 65 lbs (29.5 kg), use the vehicle’s
seat belt (not the lower anchors) to install the

child restraint. Be sure to follow the child restraint
manufacturer’s instructions for installation.

The LATCH lower anchor points are provided to
install child restraints in the following positions
only:

● 2nd row bench seat – outboard seating

positions

LATCH lower anchor

WARNING

Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use and installation of
child restraints could result in serious in-
jury or death of a child or other passen-
gers in a sudden stop or collision:

– Attach LATCH system compatible

child restraints only at the locations
shown in the illustration.

– Do not secure a child restraint in the

2nd row center position using the
LATCH system anchors. The child re-
straint will not be secured properly.
