Securing Child Restraints

(Rear Seat Position)

When securing a child restraint
in a rear seating position, study
the instructions that came with the
child restraint to make sure it is
compatible with this vehicle.
If the child restraint has the LATCH
system, see Lower Anchors and
Tethers for Children (LATCH
System) on page 3 59 for how and
where to install the child restraint
using LATCH. If a child restraint is
secured in the vehicle using a
safety belt and it uses a top tether,
see Lower Anchors and Tethers for
Children (LATCH System) on
page 3 59 for top tether anchor
locations.
Do not secure a child seat in a
position without a top tether anchor
if a national or local law requires
that the top tether be anchored, or
if the instructions that come with the
child restraint say that the top strap
must be anchored.
In Canada, the law requires that
forward-facing child restraints have
a top tether, and that the tether be
attached.
If the child restraint does not have
the LATCH system, you will be
using the safety belt to secure the
child restraint in this position. Be
sure to follow the instructions that
came with the child restraint. Secure
the child in the child restraint when
and as the instructions say.
I n f o r ma t i o n P r o v i d e d b y :
If more than one child restraint
needs to be installed in the rear
seat, be sure to read Where to Put
the Restraint on page 3 58.
The vehicle's lap shoulder belts
for the first and second row
seating positions are equipped
with free falling latch plates. If
the vehicle has a third row, the
lap shoulder belts have either
free falling or cinching latch plates.
