LATCH Installation
•
Figure A illustrates a typical rear-facing LATCH
installation.

Verify that your vehicle is equipped with LATCH
anchors. If LATCH anchors are not available, you must
use vehicle belt installation methods.
NOTE: LATCH connectors must be in an upright
position (as shown in figure B) and strap should be
tight and not twisted to ensure proper installation.

If stored, remove LATCH connectors from storage
slots under cover (see page 28).

Press and hold first LATCH adjuster button,
then pull LATCH strap to full length. Repeat for
remaining LATCH connector.

Fully recline restraint then place it sideways on
vehicle seat with front facing toward you.

Verify LATCH strap is not twisted, then attach
closest LATCH connector to vehicle seat back to
farthest LATCH anchor from you (fig. C).
NOTE: It may be necessary to switch LATCH
connectors as shown on page 27 if ANY of the
following conditions exist:
•
LATCH connector is not in an upright position as
shown in figure B.
•
LATCH strap is twisted.
•
A positive click is NOT heard when LATCH connector
and LATCH anchor are connected.

tight or twisted, or there may be debris in LATCH
connector.
