62 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE
• Buckle the child into the seat according to the child
restraint manufacturer's directions.
• When your child restraint is not in use, secure it in the
vehicle with the seat belt or remove it from the vehicle.
Do not leave it loose in the vehicle. In a sudden stop or
collision, it could strike the occupants or seat backs
and cause serious personal injury.
WARNING!
Improper installation can lead to failure of an infant
or child restraint. It could come loose in a collision.
The child could be badly injured or killed. Follow
the manufacturer's directions exactly when installing
an infant or child restraint.
Lower Anchors and Tether for CHildren (LATCH)
Each vehicle is equipped with the child restraint anchor-
age system called LATCH, which stands for Lower
Anchors and Tether for CHildren. LATCH child restraint
anchorage systems are installed in the Regular Cab
passenger seat position and the Quad Cab rear seat
outboard positions. LATCH equipped seating positions
feature both lower anchor bars, located at the back of the
seat cushion, and tether strap anchorages, located behind
the seat back (refer to "Child Restraint Tether Anchor" in
this section).
Identification dots are located above the Regular Cab
front seat lower anchorages as a guide for locating lower
anchors.
NOTE: For children riding in the front seat of a Regular
Cab model, refer to the "Passenger Airbag On/Off
Switch (if equipped)" in this section.
