This vehicle is equipped with two LATCH-type anchors (at each of the rear seats) for the installation of a LATCH-type child seat with matching mounting fittings. G Warning! 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 seat belt positioning for children over 41 lb (18 kg) until they reach a height where a lap/shoulder belt fits properly without a booster. Install child seat according to manufacturer's instructions. The child seat must be firmly attached to the right and left side anchors. 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. Swing the rear seat backrest to the rear until it engages. X Check the rear seat backrest to be locked in its upright position (Y page 206). Once hook 2 is attached, the child restraint itself can be secured.
