Seats and Restraints 1-47 Replacing LATCH System Parts After a Crash { CAUTION A crash can damage the LATCH system in the vehicle. A damaged LATCH system may not properly secure the child restraint, resulting in serious injury or even death in a crash. To help make sure the LATCH system is working properly after a crash, see your dealer/ retailer to have the system inspected and any necessary replacements made as soon as possible. If the vehicle has the LATCH system and it was being used during a crash, new LATCH system parts may be needed. New parts and repairs may be necessary even if the LATCH system was not being used at the time of the crash. If the position you are using has a fixed headrest or head restraint and you are using a dual tether, route the tether around the headrest or head restraint. If the position you are using has a fixed headrest or head restraint and you are using a single tether, route the tether over the head restraint. 3. Push and pull the child restraint in different directions to be sure it is secure.
