You can install up to two child seats using the
LATCH system at the same time. If you are
installing three child restraints, you must use
the seat belt to install the center child restraint.
You can use either the LATCH anchors for posi-
tions (1) and (3) or the vehicle's seat belt for
installing the child seats in the outboard posi-
tions.
Lower Anchors

Options for installing two child seats using the
LATCH anchorages in this vehicle:
1. Right and left outboard seating positions
(1 and 3): Install the child seats in the right
and left outboard seating positions using
lower anchorages A and B, and D and E. Do
not use the center seat anchorage, C. If the
child seats do not block the center seat belt
webbing and buckle, the center seat belt can
be used to restrain an occupant or child
restraint in the center seating position.
2. Left outboard and center seating positions
(3 and 2): Install the first child seat in the
left outboard seating position using lower
anchorages D and E. Install the second child
seat using the center anchorages, B and C.
Do not use the outer anchorage closest to the
opposite door, A. Do not use the remaining
right outboard seating position (1) for any
occupant. The center child restraint will
block the seat belt buckle for this position.
WARNING!
• Use anchorages B and C to install a
LATCH-compatible child restraint in the
WARNING!
center seating position (2). Do not install a
LATCH-compatible child restraint using
anchorages C and D. This is not a LATCH-
compatible position in your vehicle.
• A child restraint installed in the center
position (2) will block the seat belt buckle
for the empty right outboard seat behind
the front passenger (1). Do not use this
seat for another occupant.
• Never use the same lower anchorage to
attach more than one child restraint.
• If you are installing three child restraints
next to each other, you must use the seat
belt and the center tether anchor for the
center position. You can then use either
the LATCH anchors or the vehicle's seat
belt for installing the child seats in the
outboard positions. Please refer to "Install-
ing the LATCH-Compatible Child Restraint
System" for typical installation instruc-
tions.
Always follow the directions of the child re-
straint manufacturer when installing your child
restraint. Not all child restraint systems will be
installed as described here.
