Seat Position - GMC 2010 Yukon XL Denali Owner's Manual

Securing a Child Restraint in a 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) on
page 2 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)
on page 2 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.
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 2 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.
