belts. Child restraints having tether straps and hooks for
connection to the top tether anchorages have been avail-

not being used for occupant restraints are stowed and out
of reach of children. Remind all children in the vehicle
that the seat belts are not toys and should not be played
with, and never leave your child unattended in the
vehicle.
The rear outboard seating positions have lower
anchorages capable
LATCH-compatible child seats having flexible,
webbing-mounted lower attachments and child seats
with fixed lower attachments. The rear seat lower an-
chors can be readily identified by the symbol located on
the seatback directly above the anchorages and are just
visible when you lean into the rear seat to install the child
restraint. You will easily feel them if you run your finger
along the intersection of the seatback and seat cushion
surfaces. The vehicle's seat belt must be used for the
center position. Regardless of the specific type of lower
attachment, never install LATCH-compatible child seats
such that two seats share a common lower anchorage.
If you are installing LATCH-compatible child restraints
in adjacent rear seating positions, you can use the

position, but you must use the vehicle's seat belt at the
center position. If your child restraints are not LATCH-
compatible, you can only install the child restraints using
