A
LATCH-compatible child seat can be installed in
each of the second and third row seats except for the third row center seat.
A child
seat is attached to the lower
anchors with either the rigid or flexible type of connectors.
- Locate the anchor marks affixed to the base of the seat cushion.
- To install a child seat in the second row center seat, remove the covers on each lower end of the seat-back by pulling on the handles.
- Place the child
seat on the vehicle seat, then attach the child
seat to the lower anchors according to the instructions that came with the child
seat. Make sure that the lower anchors are not obstructed by the seat belt or any other object.
- Tighten the tether strap as instructed by the child
seat manufacturer.
- Make sure the child seat is firmly secured by rocking it forward and back and side to side; little movement should be felt.
- Make sure any unused seat belt that a child can reach is buckled, the lockable retractor is activated, and the belt is fully retracted and locked.
W
Never attach two child
seats to the same anchor. In a collision, one anchor may not be strong enough to hold two child
seats attachments and may break, causing serious injury or death.
W
Do not use the lower inner anchors of the outer rear seats to secure a LATCH-compatible child seat to the rear center seat, unless the manufacturer's instructions for that system permit the use of inner anchors with the stated spacing.
