3. For easier access, the seatback may be
recline rearward.
Push the anchor connectors (D) on the
child restraint system into the lower
anchors (C) in accordance with the
instructions provided by the child restraint
system's manufacturer.
After it is security fastened, adjust the
seatback to 4 steps forward from most
reclined position.
Remember, the lower anchors (C) pro-
vided with your vehicle are designed to
secure suitable child restraint systems
compatible with the LATCH system in
the outboard positions of the second
row seats only. The anchor connectors
are NOT designed to secure a suitable
child restraint system in the middle
seating position of the second row seat.

NOTE
 In order to secure a child restraint system
compatible with the LATCH system, use the
lower anchor points in the outboard positions
of the second row seat. It is not necessary to
use the vehicle's seat belt. The vehicle's seat
belt, however, MUST be used to secure a
child restraint system in the middle seating
position of the second row seat.
WARNING
 If there is any foreign material in or
around the lower anchors, remove it
before installing the child restraint sys-
tem. Also, make sure the seat belt is away
from, not looped through or otherwise
interfering with, the child restraint sys-
tem. If foreign matter is not removed
and/or the seat belt interferes with the
child restraint system, the child restraint
system will not be secured properly, could
detach and move forward in the event of
sudden braking or an accident, and could
result in injury to the child or other vehi-
cle occupants.
 When the vehicle is moving, do not adjust
the seat where the child restraint system is
installed.

4. Latch the tether strap hook (E) of the child
restraint system to the tether anchor bar
(F) and tighten the tether strap so it is
securely fastened.
NOTE
 If it is difficult to latch the tether strap hook,
turn the hook sideways.
5. Push and pull the child restraint system in
all directions to ensure it is firmly
secured.
WARNING
 Child restraint system tether anchors are
designed only to withstand loads from cor-
rectly fitted child restraint systems. Under
no circumstances are they to be used for
adult seat belts, harnesses, for attaching
other items, or equipment to the vehicle.
