SAFETY INFORMATION
1. Locate the anchor marks affixed to the base of the seat cushion.
2. Pull out the anchor covers under the marks to expose the lower
anchors.
3. 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.

4. Secure the tether strap hook to the
anchor.
Seats in the outer positions: Put
the outer head restraint to its
upper-most position, then route
the tether strap between the head
restraint legs, and secure the tether
strap hook to the anchor. Make
sure the strap is not twisted.
Seats in the center position: Put
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 to the anchor. Make
sure the strap is not twisted.
5. Tighten the tether strap as
instructed by the child seat
manufacturer.
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.
Never attach two child seats to the same anchor. In a collision, one
anchor may not be strong enough to hold two child seats attachments
and may break, causing serious injury or death.
Do not use the lower inner anchors of the outer rear seats to secure a
LATCH-compatible child seat to the rear center seat, unless the
manufacturer's instructions for that system permit the use of inner
anchors with the stated spacing.
n Installing a Child Seat with a Lap/Shoulder Seat Belt
A child seat can be installed with a lap/shoulder belt in any rear seat or, if
absolutely necessary, the front passenger seat.
