Child restraint LATCH anchors

LATCH anchors are provided for the 
outboard rear seat. (Buttons displaying 
the location of the anchors are 
attached to the seats.)

■

When installing in the rear out-
board seats

Install the child restraint system in 
accordance to the operation manual 
enclosed with the child restraint sys-
tem.

1

Adjust the seat

If there is a gap between the child seat and 

the seatback, adjust the seatback angle 

until good contact is achieved.

WARNING

●

When a booster seat is installed, 

always ensure that the shoulder belt is 

positioned across the center of the 

child’s shoulder. The belt should be 

kept away from the child’s neck, but 

not so that it could fall off the child’s 

shoulder.

●

Follow all installation instructions pro-

vided by the child restraint system 

manufacturer.

●

When securing some types of child 

restraint systems in rear seats, it may 

not be possible to properly use the 

seat belts in positions next to the child 

restraint without interfering with it or 

affecting seat belt effectiveness. Be 

sure your seat belt fits snugly across 

your shoulder and low on your hips. If it 

does not, or if it interferes with the 

child restraint, move to a different posi-

tion. Failure to do so may result in 

death or serious injury.

●

When installing a child restraint system 

in the rear center seat, adjust both seat 

cushions to the same position and 

align both seatbacks at the same 

angle. Otherwise, the child restraint 

system cannot be securely restrained 

and this may cause death or serious 

injuries in the event of sudden braking, 

sudden swerving or an accident.

●

If the seat is adjusted, reconfirm the 

security of the child restraint system.

■

When installing a booster seat

To prevent the belt from going into ALR 

lock mode, do not fully extend the shoul-

der belt. ALR mode causes the belt to 

tighten only. This could cause injury or 

discomfort to the child. (

■

Do not use a seat belt extender

If a seat belt extender is used when 

installing a child restraint system, the seat 

belt will not securely hold the child 

restraint system, which could cause 

death or serious injury to the child or 

other passengers in the event of sudden 

braking, sudden swerving or an accident.
