anchors (at each of the rear seats) for the
installation of a LATCH-type child seat with
matching mounting fittings.
Children too big for a toddler restraint must
ride in seats using regular seat belts.
Position shoulder belt across chest and
shoulder, not face or neck.
A booster seat may be necessary to achieve
proper seat belt positioning for children
over 41 lb (18 kg) until they reach a height
where a lap/shoulder belt fits properly
without a booster.
Install child seat according to
manufacturer’s instructions.
The child seat must be firmly attached to
the right and left side anchors.
An incorrectly mounted child seat may
come loose during an accident which could
result in serious injury or death to the child.
Damaged or impact damaged child seats or
child seat mounting fittings must be
replaced.
