To Install A LATCH-Compatible
Child Restraint
If the selected seating position has a
Switchable Automatic Locking
Retractor (ALR) seat belt, stow the seat
belt, following the instructions below.
See the section "Installing Child
Restraints Using The Vehicle Seat Belt"
to check what type of seat belt each
seating position has.
1. Loosen the adjusters on the lower
straps and on the tether strap of the
child seat so that you can more easily
attach the hooks or connectors to the
vehicle anchorages.
2. Place the child seat between the
lower anchorages for that seating
position. For some second row seats,
you may need to recline the seat and/or
raise the head restraint to get a better
fit. If the rear seat can be moved
forward and rearward in the vehicle, you
may wish to move it to its rear-most
position to make room for the child
seat. You may also move the front seat
forward to allow more room for the child
seat.
3. Attach the lower hooks or
connectors of the child restraint to the
lower anchorages in the selected
seating position.

4. If the child restraint has a tether
strap, connect it to the top tether
anchorage. See the section "Installing
Child Restraints Using The Top Tether
Anchorage" for directions to attach a
tether anchor.
5. Tighten all of the straps as you push
the child restraint rearward and
downward into the seat. Remove slack
in the straps according to the child
restraint manufacturer's instructions.
6. Test that the child restraint is
installed tightly by pulling back and forth
on the child seat at the belt path. It
should not move more than 1 inch
(25.4 mm) in any direction.
How To Stow An Unused
Switchable-ALR (ALR) Seat Belt
When using the LATCH attaching
system to install a child restraint, stow
all ALR seat belts that are not being
used by other occupants or being used
to secure child restraints. An unused
belt could injure a child if they play with
it and accidentally lock the seat belt
retractor. Before installing a child
restraint using the LATCH system,
buckle the seat belt behind the child
restraint and out of the child's reach. If
the buckled seat belt interferes with the
child restraint installation, instead of
buckling it behind the child restraint,
route the seat belt through the child
restraint belt path and then buckle it.
Do not lock the seat belt. Remind all
children in the vehicle that the seat belts
are not toys and that they should not
play with them.
Warning!
Improper installation of a child restraint
to the LATCH anchorages can lead to
failure of the restraint. The child could be
badly injured or killed. Follow the child
restraint manufacturer's directions exactly
when installing an infant or child restraint.
Child restraint anchorages are designed
to withstand only those loads imposed by
correctly-fitted child restraints. Under no
circumstances are they to be used for adult
seat belts, harnesses, or for attaching other
items or equipment to the vehicle.
