Figure A illustrates a typical rear-facing LATCH installation.
Verify that your vehicle is equipped with LATCH anchors. If
LATCH anchors are not available, you must use vehicle belt
installation methods.
NOTE: LATCH connectors must be in an upright position
(as shown in figure B) and strap should be tight and not
twisted to ensure proper installation.
If stored, remove LATCH connectors from storage slots
under cover (see page 28).
Press and hold first LATCH adjuster button, then pull
LATCH strap to full length. Repeat for remaining
LATCH connector.
Fully recline restraint then place it sideways on vehicle
seat with front facing toward you.
Verify LATCH strap is not twisted, then attach closest
LATCH connector to vehicle seat back to farthest
LATCH anchor from you (fig. C).
NOTE: It may be necessary to switch LATCH harness as
shown on page 27 if ANY of the following conditions exist:
LATCH connector is not in an upright position as shown
in figure B.
LATCH strap is twisted.
A positive click is NOT heard when LATCH connector and
LATCH anchor are connected.
NOTE: If a positive click is not heard, but LATCH
connector is in an upright position, you should not
switch LATCH harness. The strap may be too tight or
twisted, or there may be debris in LATCH connector.
If a positive connection cannot be made, do not use
LATCH installation; install using vehicle belt method.
Rotate seat into rear-facing position.
Verify LATCH strap is not twisted, then attach remaining LATCH connector to
adjacent LATCH anchor (fig. D).
