Warning! Move the respective outboard second-row seat backrest to an upright position ( page 134). Push the upholstery blend to the side. Install a LATCH type child seat according to the manufacturer's instructions. The LATCH anchors on the third-row seats are blended with covers. An incorrectly mounted child seat may come loose during an accident which could result in serious injury or death to the child. Damaged or impact damaged child seats or child seat mounting fittings must be replaced. Do not leave children unattended in the vehicle, even if the children are secured in a child restraint system. G Children too big for a toddler restraint must ride in seats using regular seat belts. Position shoulder belt across chest and shoulder, not face or neck. A booster seat may be necessary to achieve proper belt positioning for children over 41 lbs until they reach a height where a lap/shoulder belt fits properly without a booster.
