injured or killed in a crash.

seat. A larger child should be properly restrained with a seat belt, using a
booster seat if necessary.

or flexible type of connectors.

the marks.

seat, then attach the child seat to
the lower anchors according to
the instructions that came with
the child seat. Make sure that the
lower anchors are not obstructed
by the seat belt or any other
object.

5. Tighten the tether strap according
to the seat manufacturer's
instructions.
6. Make sure the child seat is firmly
secured by rocking it forward
and back and side to side; little
movement should be felt.
7. Make sure any unused seat belt
that a child can reach is buckled,
the lockable retractor is activated,
and the belt is fully retracted and
locked.
Installing a LATCH-compatible child seat in the rear center seat
n
each outer rear seat is equipped with a pair of lower anchors which
are used to secure a LATCHcompatible child seat. The rear center seat,
however, is not equipped with anchors of any kind.
The inner and outer anchors are spaced apart at a standard distance of 11
inches (280 mm). The distance between the two inner anchors is 15.7 inches
(400 mm).
LATCH-compatible restraint systems that are fitted with rigid-type
attachments cannot be installed in the rear center seat. However, a system
fitted with flexible-type attachments can be installed in the center seat,
provided that the manufacturer's instructions for that system permit the use
of the inner anchors with the stated spacing.
Before seating a child, make sure that the system is properly attached to
both the lower anchors and tether anchors.
