qLATCH Child-Restraint System
Installation Procedure
Before installing a rear-facing child-
restraint system, the passenger air bag
must be deactivated (page 2-23).
NOTE
Before installing a child-restraint
system, refer to Passenger Air Bag
Deactivation Switch (page 2-23).
1. Make sure to remove articles from
behind the passenger seat that would
prevent the seat from sliding back fully,
and then slide the seat as far back as
possible to insert the LATCH lower
anchors between the seat bottom and
the seatback.
2. Expand the area between the seat
bottom and the seatback slightly to
verify the locations of the LATCH
lower anchors.
NOTE
The markings above the LATCH lower
anchors indicate the locations of the
LATCH lower anchors for the
attachment of a child-restraint system.

3. Secure the child-restraint system using
BOTH LATCH lower anchors,
following the child-restraint system
manufacturer's instruction, however if
it uses an upper tether, it cannot be
mounted properly in this vehicle as
there is no safe way to anchor the
tether.
