Page 126: Installing Child Restraints
1-7. Safety information Installing child restraints Follow the child restraint system manufacturer's instructions. Firmly secure child restraints to the rear seats using the LATCH anchors or a seat belt. Attach the top tether strap when installing a child restraint. The lap/shoulder belt can be used if your child restraint system is not com- patible with the LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children) system.
Page 127 1-7. Safety information Installation with LATCH system Type A Latch the hooks of the STEP lower straps onto the LATCH anchors. If the child restraint has a STEP top tether strap, the top tether strap should be latched onto the top tether strap anchors.
Page 128 1-7. Safety information Type B Latch the buckles onto the STEP LATCH anchors. If the child restraint has a STEP top tether strap, the top tether strap should be latched onto the top tether strap anchors. For owners in Canada: The symbol on a child restraint sys- tem indicates the presence of a lower connector system.
Page 129 1-7. Safety information Installing child restraints using a seat belt (child restraint lock function belt) Rear facing Infant seat/convertible seat ■ Place the child seat on the rear STEP seat facing the rear of the vehicle.

(P. 67) Open the anchor bracket cover, latch the hook onto the anchor bracket and tighten the top tether strap.
Page 134 1-7. Safety information CAUTION When installing a booster seat ■ Do not fully extend the shoulder belt to prevent the belt from going to ALR lock mode: (P. 72) ALR mode causes the belt to tighten only which could cause injury or discomfort to the child.
Page 135 1-7. Safety information CAUTION When installing a child restraint system ■ When a booster seat is installed, always ensure that the shoulder belt is posi- ● tioned across the center of the child's shoulder. The belt should be kept away from the child's neck, but not so that it could fall off the child's shoulder.
