child restraint. Be sure to follow the child restraint manufacturer's instructions for installation. The LATCH anchor points are provided to install child restraints in the rear outboard seating positions only. Do not attempt to install a child restraint in the center position using the LATCH anchors. - Inspect the lower anchors by inserting your fingers into the lower anchor area. Feel to make sure there are no obstructions over the anchors such as seat belt webbing or seat cushion material. The child restraint will not be secured properly if the lower anchors are obstructed. - Child restraint anchorages are designed to withstand only those loads imposed by correctly fitted child restraints. Under no circumstances are they to be used to attach adult seat belts, or other items or equipment to the vehicle. Doing so could damage the child restraint anchorages. The child restraint will not be properly installed using the damaged anchorage, and a child could be seriously injured or killed in a collision. LATCH lower anchor WARNING Failure to follow the warnings and instructions for proper use and installation of child restraints could result in serious injury or death of a child or other passengers in a sudden stop or collision: - Attach LATCH system compatible child restraints only at the locations shown in the illustration. - Do not secure a child restraint in the center rear seating position using the LATCH lower anchors. The child restraint will not be secured properly. WRS0438 LATCH system lower anchor locations LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) SYSTEM Your vehicle is equipped with special anchor points that are used with the LATCH system compatible child restraints. This system may also be referred to as the ISOFIX or ISOFIX compatible system.

If the combined weight of the child and child restraint is greater than 65 lbs (29.5 kg) use the vehicles seat belt (not the lower anchors) to install the 1-28 Safety-Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
