Securing A Child Restraint Designed For The Latch System - Buick lucerne 2009 Owner's Manual

The top tether anchors are located under the covers
on the rear seatback filler panel. Flip open the cover to
access the anchors. Be sure to use an anchor located on
the same side of the vehicle as the seating position where
the child restraint will be placed.
Do not secure a child restraint in a position without a
top tether anchor if a national or local law requires that
the top tether be attached, or if the instructions that
come with the child restraint say that the top tether
must be attached.

Accident statistics show that children are safer if they
are restrained in the rear rather than the front seat. See
Where to Put the Restraint on page 1-44 for additional
information.
Securing a Child Restraint Designed for
the LATCH System
CAUTION:
{
If a LATCH-type child restraint is not attached to
anchors, the child restraint will not be able to protect
the child correctly. In a crash, the child could be
seriously injured or killed. Install a LATCH-type
child restraint properly using the anchors, or use
the vehicle's safety belts to secure the restraint,
following the instructions that came with the child
restraint and the instructions in this manual.
