70 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE
Installing The LATCH-Compatible Child Restraint
System — if equipped
We urge you to carefully follow the directions of the
manufacturer when installing your child restraint. Not all
child restraint systems will be installed as described here.
Again, carefully follow the installation instructions that
were provided with the child restraint system. The rear
seat lower anchorages are round bars, located at the rear
of the seat cushion where it meets the seatback, and are
just visible when you lean into the vehicle to install the
child restraint. You will easily feel them if you run your
finger along the intersection of the seatback and seat
cushion surfaces.
In addition, there are tether strap anchorages at each
LATCH seating position (Refer to "Child Restraint Tether
Anchor".) Many, but not all, restraint systems will be
equipped with separate straps on each side, with each
having a hook or connector for attachment to the lower
anchorage and a means of adjusting the tension in the
strap. Forward-facing toddler restraints, and some rear-
facing infant restraints, will also be equipped with a
tether strap, a hook for attachment to the tether strap
anchorage, and a means of adjusting the tension of the
strap.
You will first loosen the child seat adjusters on the lower
straps and on the tether strap so that you can more easily
attach the hooks or connectors to the vehicle anchorages.
Next, attach the lower hooks or connectors over the top
of the anchorage bars, pushing aside the seat cover
material. Then, attach the tether strap to the anchorage
located on the back of the seat, being careful to route the
tether strap to provide the most direct path between the
anchor and the child restraint. If your vehicle is equipped
with adjustable rear head restraints, raise the head re-
straint and route the tether strap under the head restraint
and between the two posts. Finally, tighten all three
straps as you push the child restraint rearward and
