Owner`s manual

• In addition, there are tether strap anchorages behind each rear seating position

located on the back of the seat. To access the top tether strap anchorages behind the

rear seat, pull the carpeted floor panel away from the seat back, this will expose the top

tether strap anchorages. DO NOT USE the cargo tie down loops located on the load floor

as tether anchorages.

• Do not install a child restraint in the center position using the LATCH system. Use the

seat belt and tether anchor to install a child seat in the center seating position.

Vehicles With Center Arm Rest Tether

• For rearward facing infant seats secured in the center seat position with the vehicle seat

belts, the rear center seat position has an armrest tether that secures the arm rest in the

upward position.

1. To access the center seat arm rest tether, first lower the arm rest. The tether is located

behind the armrest and hooked onto the plastic seat backing.

2. Pull down on the tether to unhook it from the plastic seat backing.

3. Raise the armrest and attach the tether hook to the strap located on the front of the arm

rest.

Installing The Child Restraint Using The LATCH Lower Anchors

NOTE:

Never “share” a LATCH anchorage with two or more child restraints.

1. Loosen the adjusters on the lower straps and on the tether strap of the child seat so that

you can more easily attach the hooks or connectors to the vehicle anchorages.

2. Attach the lower hooks or connectors of the child restraint to the lower anchorages in the

selected seating position.

3. If the child restraint has a tether strap, connect it to the top tether anchorage. See below

for directions to attach a tether anchor.

4. Tighten all of the straps as you push the child restraint rearward and downward into the

seat. Remove slack in the straps according to the child restraint manufacturer’s instruc-

tions.

5. Test that the child restraint is installed tightly by pulling back and forth on the child seat

at the belt path. It should not move more than 1 inch (25.4 mm) in any direction.
