NOTE 3. Secure the child-restraint system using BOTH LATCH lower anchors, following the child-restraint system manufacturer's instruction, however if it uses an upper tether, it cannot be mounted properly in this vehicle as there is no safe way to anchor the tether. Before installing a child-restraint system, refer to "Passenger Air Bag Deactivation Switch" (page 2-23). 1. Make sure to remove articles from behind the passenger seat that would prevent the seat from sliding back fully, and then slide the seat as far back as possible to insert the LATCH lower anchors between the seat bottom and the seatback. 2. Expand the area between the seat bottom and the seatback slightly to verify the locations of the LATCH lower anchors. NOTE The markings above the LATCH lower anchors indicate the locations of the LATCH lower anchors for the attachment of a child-restraint system. 2-19 Form No.8T72-EA-04G
