A
LATCH-compatible child seat can be installed in
the second row seats.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.
- Pull out the anchor covers under the marks to expose the lower anchors.
- 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.
- Secure the tether strap hook to the anchor.
Seats in the outer positions: Put the outer head restraint to its upper-most position, then route the tether strap between the head restraint legs, and secure the tether strap hook to the anchor. Make sure the strap is not twisted.
Seats in the center position: Put the center head restraint to its lowest position, then 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.
- 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.

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 manufacturer's instructions for that system permit the use of inner anchors with the stated spacing.
