Safety features of your vehicle
When you install your child's restraint
system using the LATCH anchors buckle
the shoulder lap belt, then lock the
retractor and pull the belt to remove the
slack in the belt so it lies flat against the
vehicle seat.
Follow the child seat manufacturer’s
instructions to properly install child
restraint seats with LATCH or LATCH-
compatible attachments.
Once you have installed the LATCH child
restraint, assure that the seat is properly
attached to the LATCH and tether
anchors.
Also, test the child restraint seat before
you place the child in it. Tilt the seat from
side to side. Also try to tug the seat for-
ward. Check to see if the anchors hold
the seat in place.
WARNING -
LATCH lower
anchors
Never attempt to attach a LATCH
equipped seat in the center seating
position. LATCH lower anchors are
only to be used with the left and
right rear outboard seating posi-
tions. You may damage the anchors
or the anchors may fail and break in
a collision.
