forward, to make sure the flexible straps or
rigid connecting bars are securely latched

BEFORE DRIVING
NOTE:
Although there are three second row seat-
ing positions, you cannot install three
LATCH type child restraints in the second
row seats. You can install one or two
LATCH restraint(s). Be sure to install the
LATCH type child restraint(s) in the out-
board seating positions.
If your LATCH restraint has flexible lower
connecting straps, these general instruc-
tions apply:
1) If possible, fold the seatback rearward
for easier installation.

the slots in the seatback bottom.
