Seats and Restraints

If the position you are using
has a fixed headrest or
head restraint and you
are using a dual tether,
route the tether around the
headrest or head restraint.

If the position you are using
has a fixed headrest or
head restraint and you are
using a single tether, route
the tether over the headrest
or head restraint.

3. Before placing a child in the

child restraint, make sure it
is securely held in place.
To check, grasp the child
restraint at the LATCH path
and attempt to move it side
to side and back and forth.

Parts After a Crash

WARNING

A crash can damage the
LATCH system in the vehicle.
A damaged LATCH system may
not properly secure the child
restraint, resulting in serious
injury or even death in a crash.
To help make sure the LATCH
system is working properly after
a crash, see your dealer to have
the system inspected and any
necessary replacements made
as soon as possible.

If the vehicle has the LATCH system
and it was being used during a
crash, new LATCH system parts
may be needed.

New parts and repairs may be
necessary even if the LATCH
system was not being used at
the time of the crash.
