SAFETY INFORMATION
6. Seats in the outer positions with
straight top tether type and fixed
headrest: Route the tether strap
over the top of the head restraint
and secure the tether strap hook to
the anchor. Make sure the strap is
not twisted.
Seats in the outer positions with
other top tether type and fixed
headrest: Route the tether strap
over the side of the head restraint
and secure the tether strap hook to
the anchor. Make sure the strap is
not twisted.
7. Tighten the tether strap as
instructed by the child seat
manufacturer.
8. Make sure the child seat is firmly
secured by rocking it forward and back and side to side; little movement
should be felt.
9. 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.
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.
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 child seat
manufacturer's instructions for that system permit the use of inner
anchors with the stated spacing.
Installing a LATCH-compatible child seat in the rear center seat
Each outer rear seat is equipped with a pair of lower anchors which are
used to secure a LATCH-compatible child seat. The rear center seat,
however, is not equipped with anchors of any kind.
The inner and outer anchors are spaced apart at a standard distance of 11
inches (280 mm).
18 |
The distance between the two inner anchors is:
• 15.4 inches (390 mm).
LATCH-compatible restraint systems that are fitted with rigid-type
attachments cannot be installed in the rear center seat. However, a system
fitted with flexible-type attachments can be installed in the center seat,
provided that the child seat manufacturer's instructions for that system
permit the use of the inner anchors with the stated spacing.
Before seating a child, make sure that the system is properly attached to
both the lower anchors and tether anchors.
Installing a Child Seat with a Lap/Shoulder Seat Belt
n
A child seat can be installed with a lap/shoulder belt in any rear seat or, if
absolutely necessary, the front passenger seat.
1. Place the child seat on the vehicle
seat.
2. Route the seat belt through the child
seat according to the seat
manufacturer's instructions, and
insert the latch plate into the buckle.
Insert the latch plate fully until it
clicks.
3. Slowly pull the shoulder part of the
belt all the way out until it stops.
This activates the lockable
retractor.
4. Let the seat belt retract a few
inches and check that the retractor
has switched modes by pulling on
the webbing. It should not pull out
again until it is reset by removing
the latch plate from the buckle. If
you are able to pull the shoulder belt out, the lockable retractor is not
activated. Pull the seat belt all the way out, and repeat steps 3 – 4.
