Warning (Continued)
A rear-facing or forward-facing
child restraint can be installed in
the right rear seating position
using the seat cushion extension
in an extended cab model. Never
install a child restraint in the right
rear seating position without the
seat cushion extension. See
Lower Anchors and Tethers for
Children (LATCH System) on
page 3-37 and Securing Child
Restraints (Rear Seat) on
page 3-53 or Securing Child
Restraints (Front Passenger
Seat) on page 3-59.
Never secure a rear-facing or
forward-facing child restraint in the
left rear seating position in an
extended cab model.
When securing a child restraint 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 safety belt
assemblies 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
safety belt.
Wherever a child restraint is
installed, be sure to secure the child
restraint 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
Seats and Restraints
properly secure any child restraint in
the vehicle even when no child is
in it.

(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 safety belts. Do not
use both the safety belts and the
LATCH anchorage system to secure
a rear-facing or forward-facing
child seat.
