Seating and Safety Restraints
A LATCH system for child seat
installation has been provided in
your vehicle at the following
location:
The lower anchors for child seat
installation are located at the rear
section of the passenger seat
between the cushion and seat back.
Follow the child seat manufacturer's
instructions to properly install safety
seats with LATCH attachments.
Attach LATCH lower attachments of the child seat only to the
anchors shown.
If you install a child seat with rigid LATCH attachments, do not tighten
the tether strap enough to lift the child seat off the seat when the child
is seated in it. Keep the tether strap just snug without raising the front
of the child seat. Keeping the child seat just touching the front of the
vehicle seat gives the best protection in a severe crash. Each time you
use the child seat, check that the seat is properly attached to the lower
anchors for child seat installation and tether anchors. Try to tilt the seat
from side to side. Also try to tug the seat forward. Check to see if the
anchors hold the seat in place.
If the safety seat is not anchored properly, the risk of a child
being injured in a collision greatly increases.
