When installing a child restraint, carefully read and follow the instructions in this manual and those supplied with the child restraint. When you install a LATCH system compatible child restraint to the lower anchor attachments, follow these steps: 3. Check to make sure that the child restraint is properly secured prior to each use. TOP TETHER STRAP CHILD RESTRAINT If your child restraint has a top tether strap, it must be secured to the anchor point provided behind its position. WARNING Inspect the lower anchors by inserting your fingers into the lower anchor area and feeling to make sure there are no obstructions over the LATCH system anchors, such as seat belt webbing or seat cushion material. The child restraint will not be secured properly if the LATCH system anchors are obstructed. 1. To install the LATCH system compatible child restraint, insert the child restraint LATCH system anchor attachments into the anchor points on the seat. If the child restraint is equipped with a top tether, see "Top tether strap child restraint" later in this section for installation instructions. 2. After attaching the child restraint and before placing the child in it, use force to push the child restraint from side to side and tug it forward to make sure that the child restraint is securely held in place. It should not move more than 1 inch (25 mm) . WARNING Child restraint anchor points are designed to withstand only those loads imposed by correctly fitted child restraints. Under no circumstances are they to be used for adult seat belts or harnesses. First, secure the child restraint with the seat belt or the LATCH system (2nd row outboard seat positions only), as applicable. For the 2nd row bench seat, position the tether over the top of the head restraint, with the head restraint in the full "down" position. Secure the tether strap to the tether anchor point located on the back of the seatback of the same seat that the child restraint is in. For best child restraint fit, see the child restraint installation instructions in this section and the child restraint manufacturer's instructions. 1-30 Safety-Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
