For five-passenger vehicles that have a head
restraint, fold down the head restraint and
route the single tether under the head
restraint and in between the head restraint
posts. See Rear Seat Operation on page 1-8.
For seven-passenger vehicles that have
adjustable head restraints, raise the
head restraint and route the single tether
under the head restraint and in between the
head restraint posts.
If the position you are
using has a head restraint
and you are using a
dual tether, route the tether
around the head restraint.
3. Push and pull the child restraint in different
directions to be sure it is secure.
Securing a Child Restraint in a Rear
Outside Seat Position
If your child restraint is equipped with the LATCH
system, see Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children
(LATCH) on page 1-41.
There are no top tether anchors at the third row seating
positions (if equipped). Do not secure a child seat in
these positions if a national or local law requires that the
top tether be anchored, or if the instructions that
come with the child restraint say that the top tether must
be anchored.
If your child restraint does not have the LATCH system,
you will be using the lap-shoulder belt to secure the
child restraint in this position. Be sure to follow the
instructions that came with the child restraint. Secure
the child in the child restraint when and as the
instructions say.
1. Put the child restraint on the seat.
2. Pick up the latch plate, and run the lap and shoulder
portions of the vehicle’s safety belt through or
around the restraint. The child restraint instructions
will show you how.
