Before installing a rear-facing child-
restraint system, the passenger-side air 
bag must be deactivated (page 2-23).

insert the LATCH lower anchors 
between the seat bottom and the

2. Expand the area between the seat 

bottom and the seatback slightly to 
verify the locations of the LATCH 
lower anchors.

3. Secure the child-restraint system using 

BOTH LATCH lower anchors, 
following the child-restraint system 
manufacturer’s instruction.

Before installing a child-restraint 
system, refer to "Passenger-Side Air 
Bag Deactivation Switch" (page 2-23).
