SAFETY INFORMATION
2. Place the child seat on the vehicle 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.
3. Open the tether anchor cover behind the head restraint.
4. Put the head restraint to its highest position. Route the tether strap
between the head restraint legs and secure the tether strap hook to the
anchor. Make sure the strap is not twisted.
5. Tighten the tether strap as
instructed by the child seat
manufacturer.
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.
Never attach two child seats to the same anchor.
In a collision, one anchor may not be strong enough to hold two child
seats attachments and may break, causing serious injury or death.
Do not use the lower inner anchors of the outer rear seats to secure a
LATCH-compatible child seat to the rear center seat, unless the child seat
manufacturer's instructions for that system permit the use of inner
anchors with the stated spacing.

Installing a LATCH-compatible child seat in the rear center seat
Each outer rear seat is equipped with a pair of lower anchors which are
used to secure a LATCH-compatible 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:
• 16.9 inches (430 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 child seat 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.
