Center Seat LATCH

The center seating position in this vehicle
has a single dedicated anchorage. Use an-
chorages B and C to install a child seat in
the center position. Do not use anchorages
C and D to install a child seat. If you are
installing three child restraints, you must
use the seatbelt to install the center child
restraint. You can use either the LATCH
anchors or the vehicle’s seat belt for install-
ing the child seats in the outboard posi-
tions. See the vehicle owner’s manual for
more information about center LATCH.

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

The seat belts in the outboard passenger seating positions are equipped with a Switchable
Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR). The center seating positions are 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.
