Installation on rear outboard seats

1. First, adjust the front seat to allow

clearance between the child-restraint
system and the front seat (page 2-5).

2. If the rear seat is reclined, return it to

the upright position.

3. Make sure the seatback is securely

latched by pushing it back until it is
fully locked.

4. Expand the open seams on the rear of

the seat bottom slightly to verify the
locations of the LATCH lower anchors.

NOTE

The markings above the LATCH lower
anchors indicate the locations of the
LATCH lower anchors for the
attachment of a child-restraint system.

5. Remove the head restraint.

Refer to Head Restraints on page 2-15.

6. Secure the child-restraint system using

BOTH LATCH lower anchors,
following the child-restraint system
manufacturer's instruction. Pull on the
child-restraint to be sure both anchors
are engaged.

7. If your child-restraint system came

equipped with a tether, that means it is
very important to properly secure the
tether for child safety. Please carefully
follow the child-restraint system
manufacturer's instructions when
installing tethers.

WARNING

Use the tether and tether anchor only for a
child-restraint system:

Using the tether or tether anchor to secure
anything but a child-restraint system is
dangerous. This could weaken or damage
the tether or tether anchor and result in
injury.

Always remove the head restraint and
install child-restraint system:

Installing a child-restraint system without
removing the head restraint is dangerous.
The child-restraint system cannot be
installed correctly which may result in
death or injury to the child in a collision.

Tether strap

Forward

Always attach the tether strap to the
correct tether anchor position:

Attaching the tether strap to the incorrect
tether anchor position is dangerous. In a
collision, the tether strap could come off
and loosen the child-restraint system. If the
child-restraint system moves it could result
in death or injury to the child.
