Third-Row Outboard Seats 
Child-Restraint System 
Installation

The third-row outboard seats cannot 
accommodate LATCH-type child-
restraint systems or tethers, therefore 
these systems must be installed on the 
other seat positions such as the second-
row or third-row center seat. If this not 
possible, LATCH-type child-restraint 
systems or tethers should be installed 
using seat belts depending on whether the 
child-restraint manufacturer allows their 
use without LATCH attachments and 
tether anchors.

Follow these instructions when using a 
child-restraint system.

Child-Restraint Tether Usage:
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. Use the 
tether and tether anchor only for a 
child-restraint system.

NOTE

Follow the child-restraint system 
manufacturer’s instructions carefully. 
Depending on the type of child-
restraint system, it may not employ 
seat belts which are in automatic 
locking mode.
