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. Make sure the seatback is securely

latched by pushing it back until it is
fully locked.

3. Expand the area between the seat

bottom and the seatback 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.

4. Remove the head restraint. However,

when installing a backless booster seat,
always install the vehicle head restraint
to the seat where the backless booster
seat is installed.
Refer to Head Restraints on page 2-10.

5. 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.

6. 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.
