52 Seats and Restraints
Warning (Continued)
Secure rear-facing child restraints in a
rear seat. If you secure a forward-facing
child restraint in the front seat, always
move the front passenger seat as far
back as it will go. It is better to secure
the child restraint in a rear seat.
When securing a child restraint with the
seat belts in a rear seating position, study
the instructions that came with the child
restraint to make sure it is compatible with
this vehicle.
Child restraints and booster seats vary
considerably in size, and some may fit in
certain seating positions better than others.
Depending on where you place the child
restraint and the size of the child restraint,
you may not be able to access adjacent seat
belts or LATCH anchors for additional
passengers or child restraints. Adjacent
seating positions should not be used if the
child restraint prevents access to or
interferes with the routing of the seat belt.
Wherever a child restraint is installed, be
sure to follow the instructions that came
with the child restraint system and secure
the child restraint system properly.
Keep in mind that an unsecured child
restraint can move around in a collision or
sudden stop and injure people in the vehicle.
Be sure to properly secure any child
restraint in the vehicle even when no
child is in it.
Lower Anchors and Tethers for
Children (LATCH System)
The LATCH system secures a child restraint
during driving or in a crash. LATCH
attachments on the child restraint are used
to attach the child restraint to the anchors
in the vehicle. The LATCH system is designed
to make installation of a child restraint
easier.
In order to use the LATCH system in your
vehicle, you need a child restraint that has
LATCH attachments. LATCH-compatible
rear-facing and forward-facing child
restraints can be properly installed using
either the LATCH anchors or the vehicle s
seat belts. Do not use both the seat belts
and the LATCH anchorage system to secure
a rear-facing or forward-facing child
restraint.
Booster seats use the vehicle s seat belts to
secure the child in the booster seat. If the
manufacturer recommends that the booster
seat be secured with the LATCH system, this
can be done as long as the booster seat can
be positioned properly and there is no
interference with the proper positioning of
the lap-shoulder belt on the child.
Make sure to follow the instructions that
came with the child restraint, and also the
instructions in this manual.
When installing a child restraint with a top
tether, you must also use either the lower
anchors or the seat belts to properly secure
the child restraint. A child restraint must
never be attached using only the top tether.
For a forward-facing 5-pt harness child
restraint where the combined weight of the
child and restraint are up to 29.5 kg, use
either the lower LATCH anchorages with the
top tether anchorage, or the seat belt with
the top tether anchorage. Where the
combined weight of the child and restraint
are greater than 29.5 kg (65 lb), use the seat
belt with the top tether anchorage only.
