LATCH Installation

Figure A illustrates a typical rear-facing LATCH installation.

Verify that your vehicle is equipped with LATCH anchors. If
LATCH anchors are not available, you must use vehicle belt
installation methods.
NOTE: LATCH connectors must be in an upright position
(as shown in figure B) and strap should be tight and not
twisted to ensure proper installation.

under cover (see page 28).

Press and hold first LATCH adjuster button, then pull
LATCH strap to full length. Repeat for remaining
LATCH connector.
