restraint system in your vehicle.
Unsecured child restraint sys-
tems can be thrown around in-
side of the vehicle in a sudden
stop, turn or accident; they can
strike and injure vehicle occu-
pants as well as result in serious
injuries or death to the child.
CAUTION
When you install a child restraint
system, follow the manufacturer's
instructions supplied with it. After
installing the child restraint system,
check to ensure that it is held
securely in position. If it is not held
tight and secure, the danger of your
child suffering personal injury in the
event of an accident may be in-
creased.
Some types of child restraint systems can
be installed in a rear seating position of
your vehicle without use of the seatbelts.
Such child restraint systems are secured
to the dedicated anchorages provided on
the vehicle body.
The lower and tether anchorages are
sometimes referred to as the LATCH
system (Lower Anchors and Tethers for
CHildren).
The second-row seat has four lower
anchorages (bars) and three upper an-
chorages (tether anchorages) for accom-
modating such child restraint systems.
Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags
The lower anchorages (bars) are used for
installing a child restraint system only on
the window-side seating positions. For
each window-side seating position, two
lower anchorages are provided.
Each lower anchorage is located where
the seat cushion meets the seatback.
