A LATCH-compatible child seat can be installed in the second-row seats. A child
seat is attached to the lower anchors with either the rigid or flexible type of
connectors.

1. Locate the lower anchors under the marks.

2. Place the child seat on the vehicle seat, then

attach the child seat to the lower anchors
according to the instructions that came with
the child seat. Make sure that the lower anchors
are not obstructed by the seat belt or any other
object.

Outer seats: Raise the head restraint to its

highest position, then route the tether strap
between the head restraint legs, and secure the
tether strap hook onto the anchor.

Center seat: Lower the center head restraint to
its lowest position, then route the tether strap
over the top of the head restraint and secure the
tether strap hook onto the anchor.

3. Tighten the tether strap as instructed by the

child seat maker.

4. Make sure the child seat is firmly secured by

rocking it forward and back and side to side;
little movement should be felt.

5. Make sure any unused seat belt that a child

can reach is buckled, the lockable retractor is
activated, and the belt is fully retracted and
locked.

Installing a Child Seat with a Lap/Shoulder Seat Belt

1. Place the child seat on the vehicle seat.
2. Route the seat belt through the child seat

according to the seat maker’s instructions, and
insert the latch plate into the buckle. Insert the
latch plate fully until it clicks.

3. Slowly pull the shoulder part of the belt all the

way out until it stops. This activates the lockable
retractor.

4. Let the seat belt completely wind up into the

retractor, then try to pull it out to make sure
the retractor is locked. If you are able to pull the
shoulder belt out, the lockable retractor is not
activated. Pull the seat belt all the way out, and
repeat steps 3 – 4.

5. Grab the shoulder part of the seat belt near the

buckle, and pull up to remove any slack from the
lap part of the belt. When doing this, place your
weight on the child seat and push it into the
vehicle seat.

6. Make sure the child seat is firmly secured by

rocking it forward and back and side to side;
little movement should be felt.

7. Make sure any unused seat belt that a child

can reach is buckled, the lockable retractor is
activated, and the belt is fully retracted and
locked.

To deactivate a lockable retractor, release the
buckle and allow the seat belt to wind up all the
way.
