86 Seats and Restraints
Refer to the following illustration to
learn which anchors to use.
There are five lower LATCH anchors
in the rear seat.
Use anchors 1 and 2 when
installing a child restraint using
LATCH in the right rear seating
position.
Use anchors 3 and 4 when
installing a child restraint using
LATCH in the center rear seating
position.
Use anchors 4 and 5 when
installing a child restraint using
LATCH in left rear seating
position.
Installing child restraints using
LATCH in the center and left rear
seating positions at the same time is
prohibited.
Make sure to attach the child
restraint at the proper anchor
location.
This system is designed to make
installation of child restraints easier.
When using lower anchors, do not
use the vehicle's safety belts.
Instead use the vehicle's anchors
and child restraint attachments to
secure the restraints. Some
restraints also use another vehicle
anchor to secure a top tether.
1. Attach and tighten the lower
attachments to the lower
anchors. If the child restraint
does not have lower
attachments or the desired
seating position does not have
lower anchors, secure the child
restraint with the top tether and
the safety belts. Refer to the
child restraint manufacturer
instructions and the
instructions in this manual.
1.1. Find the lower anchors for
the desired seating
position.
1.2. Put the child restraint on
the seat.
If the head restraint
interferes with the proper
installation of the child
restraint, the head
restraint may be removed.
See Head Restraint
Removal and
Reinstallation at the end
of this section.
1.3. Attach and tighten the
lower attachments on the
child restraint to the lower
anchors.
2. If the child restraint
manufacturer recommends that
the top tether be attached,
attach and tighten the top
tether to the top tether anchor,
if equipped. Refer to the child
restraint instructions and the
following steps:
2.1. Find the top tether anchor.
