Locating Tether Anchorages

In addition, there are tether strap anchors located behind each rear seatback, near

to the floor.

Center Seat LATCH

If a child restraint installed in the center
position blocks the seat belt webbing or
buckle for the outboard position, do not use
that outboard position. If a child seat in the
center position blocks the outboard LATCH
anchors or seat belt, do not install a child
seat in that outboard position.

Installing The Child Restraint Using
The LATCH Lower Anchors

NOTE:
Never
“share” a LATCH anchorage with two
or more child restraints.
1. Loosen the adjusters on the lower straps and on the tether strap of the child seat so that

you can more easily attach the hooks or connectors to the vehicle anchorages.

2. Attach the lower hooks or connectors of the child restraint to the lower anchorages in

the selected seating position.

3. If the child restraint has a tether strap, connect it to the top tether anchorage. See

below for directions to attach a tether anchor.

4. Tighten all of the straps as you push the child restraint rearward and downward into the

seat. Remove slack in the straps according to the child restraint manufacturer’s
instructions.

5. Test that the child restraint is installed tightly by pulling back and forth on the child

seat at the belt path. It should not move more than 1 inch (25.4 mm) in any direction.

Installing The Child Restraint Using The Vehicle Seat Belts

Except for the center position in the third row, all of the seat belts in the passenger seating
positions are equipped with a Switchable Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR). The third
row center position is equipped with a cinching latch plate. Both types of seat belts are
designed to keep the lap portion of the seat belt tight around the child restraint. Any seat
belt system will loosen with time, so check the belt occasionally, and pull it tight if
necessary.

Tether Anchorage Weight Limit

Always use the tether anchor when using the seat belt to install a forward facing child
restraint, up to the recommended weight limit of the child restraint.
