User Guide

• Never install LATCH-compatible child seats such that two seats share a common lower

anchorage.

• The rear seat lower anchorages are round bars, located at the rear of the seat cushion

where it meets the seatback. The rear seat lower anchors can be readily identified by the

symbol

located on the seatback directly above the anchorages and are just visible

when you lean into the rear seat to install the child restraint.

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

the panel between the rear seatback and the rear window. These tether strap anchorages

are under a plastic cover.

• Loosen the child seat adjusters on the

lower straps and tether straps so that you

can attach the hook or connector to the

lower and tether anchorages more easily.

• Attach the lower hooks or connectors over

the top of the seat cover material.

• Then rotate the tether anchorage cover directly behind the seat where you are placing

the child restrain and attach the tether strap to the anchorage, being careful to route the

tether strap to provide the most direct path between the anchor and the child restrain.

• Tighten all three straps as you push the

child restraint rearward and downward into

the seat.

• For center seating position route the

tether strap over the seatback and

adjustable headrest (with the headrest in

the full down position) then attach the

hook to the tether anchor located in the

panel between the rear seatback and the

rear window.

Installing The Child Restraint Using The Vehicle Seat Belts

• To install a child restraint, first, pull enough of the seat belt webbing from the retractor to

route it through the belt path of the child restraint and slide the latch plate into the

buckle.

• Next, extract all the seat belt webbing out of the retractor and then allow the belt to

retract into the retractor. Finally, pull on any excess webbing to tighten the lap portion

around the child restraint. Any seat belt system will loosen with time, so check the belt

occasionally, and pull it tight if necessary.
