3-42 Seats and Restraints
If you need to secure more than one
child restraint in the rear seat, see
Where to Put the Restraint on
page 3‑36. Depending on where you
place the child restraint, you may
not be able to access certain safety
belt assemblies or LATCH anchors
for additional passengers or child
restraints.
You cannot secure three child
restraints using the LATCH anchors
in the rear seat at the same time,
but you can install two of them.
If you want to do this, install one
LATCH child restraint in the
passenger-side position, and
install the other one either in the
driver-side position or in the center
position. Refer to the following
illustration to learn which anchors
to use.
A. Passenger Side Rear Seat
Lower Anchors
B. Center Rear Seat Lower
Anchors
C. Driver Side Rear Seat Lower
Anchors
Make sure to attach the child
restraint at the proper anchor
location.
This system is designed to make
installation of child restraints easier.
When using lower anchors, do not
use the vehicle's safety belts.
Instead use the vehicle's anchors
and child restraint attachments
to secure the restraints. Some
restraints also use another vehicle
anchor to secure a top tether.
1. Attach and tighten the lower
attachments to the lower
anchors. If the child restraint
does not have lower
attachments or the desired
seating position does not have
lower anchors, secure the child
restraint with the top tether and
the safety belts. Refer to your
child restraint manufacturer
instructions and the instructions
in this manual.
1.1. Find the lower anchors for
the desired seating
position.
1.2. Put the child restraint on
the seat.
1.3. Attach and tighten the lower
attachments on the child
restraint to the lower
anchors.
