● 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.

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

restraints 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 (Lower Anchors

and Tethers for CHildren) system compatible

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.

The LATCH lower anchor points are provided to

install child restraints in the rear outboard seating

positions only (Crew cab models only). Do not

attempt to install a child restraint in the center

position using the LATCH lower anchors.
