After installing the child restraint
system, rock it back and forth to
ensure that it is installed securely.
When installing in the rear center seat
■
There are no LATCH anchors behind the
rear center seat. However, the inboard
LATCH anchors of the outboard seats,
which are 15.5 in. (396 mm) apart, can be
used if the child restraint system manufac-
turer's instructions permit use of those
anchors with the anchor spacing stated.
Child restraint systems with rigid lower
attachments cannot be installed in the cen-
ter seat. This type of child restraint system
can only be installed in the outboard seat.

WARNING
When installing a child restraint sys-
■
tem
Observe the following precautions. Fail-
ure to do so may result in death or seri-
ous injury.
Shake the child restraint system left
●
and right, and forward and backward
to ensure that it has been securely
installed.
When using the LATCH anchors, be
●
sure that there are no foreign objects
around the anchors and that the seat
belt is not caught behind the child
restraint system.
Follow all installation instructions pro-
●
vided by the child restraint system
manufacturer.
●
Never attach two child restraint sys-
tem attachments to the same anchor.
In a collision, one anchor may not be
strong enough to hold two child
restraint system attachments and may
break. If the LATCH anchors are
already in use, use the seat belt to
install a child restraint system in the
center seat.
When securing some types of child
●
restraint systems in rear seats, it may
not be possible to properly use the
seat belts in positions next to the child
restraint without interfering with it or
affecting seat belt effectiveness. Be
sure your seat belt fits snugly across
your shoulder and low on your hips. If it
does not, or if it interferes with the
child restraint, move to a different
position. Failure to do so may result in
death or serious injury.
If the seat is adjusted, reconfirm the
●
security of the child restraint system.
