Locating Tether Anchorages

In addition, there are tether strap anchorages behind each rear seating position

located on the back of the seat.

Center Seat LATCH

The center seating position in this vehicle
has a single dedicated anchorage. Use
anchorages 3 and 4 to install a child seat
in the center position. Do not use anchor-
ages 2 and 3 to install a child seat. If you
are installing three child restraints, you
must use the seatbelt to install the center
child restraint and you must use the
LATCH anchors for the outboard position
on the left side. You can use either the
LATCH anchors or the vehicle’s seat belt
for installing the child seat in the out-
board position on the right side. See the
vehicle owner’s manual for more informa-
tion 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 anchor-
ages 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.
