Older Children And Child Restraints

Children who are two years old or who have

outgrown their rear-facing convertible child seat

can ride forward-facing in the vehicle.

Forward-facing child seats and convertible child

seats used in the forward-facing direction are for

children who are over two years old or who have

outgrown the rear-facing weight or height limit of

their rear-facing convertible child seat. Children

should remain in a forward-facing child seat with a

harness for as long as possible, up to the highest

weight or height allowed by the child seat.
All children whose weight or height is above the

forward-facing limit for the child seat should use a

belt-positioning booster seat until the vehicle’s

seat belts fit properly. If the child cannot sit with

knees bent over the vehicle’s seat cushion while

the child’s back is against the seatback, they

should use a belt-positioning booster seat. The

child and belt-positioning booster seat are held in

the vehicle by the seat belt.

Children Too Large For Booster Seats

Children who are large enough to wear the

shoulder belt comfortably, and whose legs are long

enough to bend over the front of the seat when

their back is against the seatback, should use the

seat belt in a rear seat. Use this simple 5-step test

to decide whether the child can use the vehicle’s

seat belt alone:
1. Can the child sit all the way back against the

back of the vehicle seat?

2. Do the child’s knees bend comfortably over

the front of the vehicle seat while the child is

still sitting all the way back?

3. Does the shoulder belt cross the child’s

shoulder between the neck and arm?

4. Is the lap part of the belt as low as possible,

touching the child’s thighs and not the

stomach?

5. Can the child stay seated like this for the whole

trip?

If the answer to any of these questions was “no,”

then the child still needs to use a booster seat in

this vehicle. If the child is using the lap/shoulder

belt, check seat belt fit periodically and make sure

the seat belt buckle is latched. A child’s squirming

or slouching can move the belt out of position. If

the shoulder belt contacts the face or neck, move

the child closer to the center of the vehicle, or use

a booster seat to position the seat belt on the child

correctly.

WARNING!



Improper installation can lead to failure of an

infant or child restraint. It could come loose in

a collision. The child could be badly injured or

killed. Follow the child restraint manufac

turer’s directions exactly when installing an

infant or child restraint.



After a child restraint is installed in the

vehicle, do not move the vehicle seat forward

or rearward because it can loosen the child

restraint attachments. Remove the child

restraint before adjusting the vehicle seat

position. When the vehicle seat has been

adjusted, reinstall the child restraint.



When your child restraint is not in use, secure

it in the vehicle with the seat belt or LATCH

anchorages, or remove it from the vehicle. Do

not leave it loose in the vehicle. In a sudden

stop or accident, it could strike the occupants

or seatbacks and cause serious personal

injury.

WARNING!

Never allow a child to put the shoulder belt

under an arm or behind their back. In a crash,

the shoulder belt will not protect a child properly,

which may result in serious injury or death. A

child must always wear both the lap and

shoulder portions of the seat belt correctly.

Lower Anchors And Tethers For CHildren

(LATCH)

LATCH Label

Your vehicle is equipped with the child restraint

anchorage system called LATCH, which stands for

Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren. The

LATCH system has three vehicle anchor points for

installing LATCH-equipped child seats. There are

two lower anchorages located at the back of the

seat cushion where it meets the seatback and one

top tether anchorage located behind the seating

position. These anchorages are used to install

LATCH-equipped child seats without using the

vehicle’s seat belts. Some seating positions may

have a top tether anchorage but no lower

anchorages. In these seating positions, the seat

belt must be used with the top tether anchorage to

install the child restraint. Please see the following

table for more information.

Frequently Asked Questions About Installing Child Restraints With LATCH

What is the weight limit (child’s weight + weight of

the child restraint) for using the LATCH anchorage

system to attach the child restraint?

65 lbs (29.5 kg)

Use the LATCH anchorage system until the

combined weight of the child and the child restraint

is 65 lbs (29.5 kg). Use the seat belt and tether

anchor instead of the LATCH system once the

combined weight is more than 65 lbs (29.5 kg).

Can the LATCH anchorages and the seat belt be

used together to attach a rear-facing or

forward-facing child restraint?

Do not use the seat belt when you use the LATCH

anchorage system to attach a rear-facing or

forward-facing child restraint.
Booster seats may be attached to the LATCH

anchorages if allowed by the booster seat

manufacturer. See your booster seat owner’s

manual for more information.

Can a child seat be installed in the center position

using the inner LATCH lower anchorages from the

outboard seating positions?

Yes

You can install child restraints with flexible lower

anchors in the center position. The inner

anchorages are 19.2 inches (488 mm) apart. Do

not install child restraints with rigid lower anchors

in the center position.

SAFETY

351

Can two child restraints be attached using a

common lower LATCH anchorage?

Never “share” a LATCH anchorage with two or more

child restraints. If the center position does not have

dedicated LATCH lower anchorages, use the seat

belt to install a child seat in the center position

next to a child seat using the LATCH anchorages in

an outboard position.

Can the rear-facing child restraint touch the back of

the front passenger seat?

Yes

The child seat may touch the back of the front

passenger seat if the child restraint manufacturer

also allows contact. See your child restraint

owner’s manual for more information.

Can the rear head restraints be removed?

Yes

The center head restraint can be removed if it

interferes with the installation of the child restraint

page 50.

Frequently Asked Questions About Installing Child Restraints With LATCH

352

SAFETY

Locating The LATCH Anchorages

The lower anchorages are round bars

that are found at the rear of the seat

cushion where it meets the seatback,

adjacent to the anchorage symbols on

the seatback. They are just visible when you lean

into the rear seat to install the child restraint. You

will easily feel them if you run your finger along the

gap between the seatback and seat cushion.

LATCH Anchorages

Locating The Upper Tether Anchorages

There are tether strap anchorages

located behind each of the rear seats.

Tether Strap Anchorages

LATCH-compatible child restraint systems will be

equipped with a rigid bar or a flexible strap on each

side. Each will have a hook or connector to attach

to the lower anchorage and a way to tighten the

connection to the anchorage. Forward-facing child

restraints and some rear-facing child restraints will

also be equipped with a tether strap. The tether

strap will have a hook at the end to attach to the

top tether anchorage and a way to tighten the strap

after it is attached to the anchorage.

Center Seat LATCH

Do not install child restraints with rigid lower

attachments in the center seating position. Only

install this type of child restraint in the outboard

seating positions. Child restraints with flexible,

webbing mounted lower attachments can be

installed in any rear seating position.

Always follow the directions of the child restraint

manufacturer when installing your child restraint.

Not all child restraint systems will be installed as

described here.

WARNING!

Never use the same lower anchorage to attach

more than one child restraint. If you are

installing LATCH-compatible child restraints next

to each other, you must use the seat belt for the

center position. You can then use either the

LATCH anchors or the vehicle’s seat belt for

installing child seats in the outboard positions.
Please

page 353 for typical installation

instructions.

SAFETY

353

To Install A LATCH-Compatible Child

Restraint

If the selected seating position has a Switchable

Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) seat belt, stow

the seat belt, following the instructions below.

page 354 to check what type of seat belt each

seating position has.
1. Loosen the adjusters on the lower straps and

on the tether strap of the child seat so that

you can more easily attach the hooks or

connectors to the vehicle anchorages.

2. Place the child seat between the lower

anchorages for that seating position. If the

second row seat can be reclined, you may

recline the seat and/or raise the head restraint

(if adjustable) to get a better fit. If the rear seat

can be moved forward and rearward in the

vehicle, you may wish to move it to its

rear-most position to make room for the child

seat. You may also move the front seat forward

to allow more room for the child seat.

3. Attach the lower hooks or connectors of the

child restraint to the lower anchorages in the

selected seating position.

4. If the child restraint has a tether strap, connect

it to the top tether anchorage. See

page 356 for directions to attach a tether

anchor.

5. Tighten all of the straps as you push the child

restraint rearward and downward into the

seat. Remove slack in the straps according to

the child restraint manufacturer’s instructions.

6. Test that the child restraint is installed tightly

by pulling back and forth on the child seat at

the belt path. It should not move more than

1 inch (25.4 mm) in any direction.

How To Stow An Unused Switchable-ALR

(ALR) Seat Belt:

When using the LATCH attaching system to install

a child restraint, stow all ALR seat belts that are not

being used by other occupants or being used to

secure child restraints. An unused belt could injure

a child if they play with it and accidentally lock the

seat belt retractor. Before installing a child

restraint using the LATCH system, buckle the seat

belt behind the child restraint and out of the child’s

reach. If the buckled seat belt interferes with the

child restraint installation, instead of buckling it

behind the child restraint, route the seat belt

through the child restraint belt path and then

buckle it. Do not lock the seat belt. Remind all

children in the vehicle that the seat belts are not

toys and that they should not play with them.

WARNING!



Improper installation of a child restraint to the

LATCH anchorages can lead to failure of the

restraint. The child could be badly injured or

killed. Follow the child restraint manufac

turer’s directions exactly when installing an

infant or child restraint.



Child restraint anchorages 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, harnesses, or for attaching other

items or equipment to the vehicle.

354

SAFETY

Installing Child Restraints Using The

Vehicle Seat Belt

Child restraint systems are designed to be secured

in vehicle seats by lap belts or the lap belt portion

of a lap/shoulder belt.

The seat belts in the passenger seating positions

are equipped with a Switchable Automatic Locking

Retractor (ALR) that is designed to keep the lap

portion of the seat belt tight around the child

restraint so that it is not necessary to use a locking

clip. The ALR retractor can be “switched” into a

locked mode by pulling all of the webbing out of the

retractor and then letting the webbing retract back

into the retractor. If it is locked, the ALR will make

a clicking noise while the webbing is pulled back

into the retractor.
See the “Automatic Locking Mode” description

page 330 for additional information on ALR.

Please see the table below and the following

sections for more information.

SAFETY

355

Installing A Child Restraint With A

Switchable Automatic Locking Retractor

(ALR):

Child restraint systems are designed to be secured

in vehicle seats by lap belts or the lap belt portion

of a lap/shoulder belt.

1. Place the child seat in the center of the

seating position. If the second row seat can

be reclined, you may recline the seat and/or

raise the head restraint (if adjustable) to get a

better fit. If the rear seat can be moved

forward and rearward in the vehicle, you may

wish to move it to its rear-most position to

make room for the child seat. You may also

move the front seat forward to allow more

room for the child seat.

2. Pull enough of the seat belt webbing from the

retractor to pass it through the belt path of the

child restraint. Do not twist the belt webbing in

the belt path.

3. Slide the latch plate into the buckle until you

hear a “click.”

4. Pull on the webbing to make the lap portion

tight against the child seat.

5. To lock the seat belt, pull down on the shoulder

part of the belt until you have pulled all the

seat belt webbing out of the retractor. Then,

allow the webbing to retract back into the

retractor. As the webbing retracts, you will hear

a clicking sound. This means the seat belt is

now in the Automatic Locking mode.

6. Try to pull the webbing out of the retractor. If it

is locked, you should not be able to pull out any

webbing. If the retractor is not locked, repeat

step 5.

Can the rear head restraints be

removed?

Yes

The center head restraint can be

removed if it interferes with the

installation of the child restraint.

Can the buckle stalk be twisted to

tighten the seat belt against the belt

path of the child restraint?

Do not twist the buckle stalk in a

seating position with an ALR retractor.

1 inch (25.4 mm) in any direction.

Any seat belt system will loosen with time, so check

the belt occasionally, and pull it tight if necessary.

Installing Child Restraints Using The Top

Tether Anchorage

The Top Tether anchorages are located behind

each rear seating position. To attach the tether

strap of the child restraint:
1. Place the child restraint on the seat and

adjust the tether strap so that it will reach

over the seat back, under the head restraint

and to the tether anchor directly behind the

seat.

2. Release the seat back by pulling the release

strap located on the top of the seat back to

provide room to reach the tether anchor.

3. Route the tether strap to provide the most

direct path between the anchorage and the

child seat. The tether strap should go between

the head restraint posts underneath the head

restraint. You may need to adjust the head

restraint (if adjustable) to the upward position

to pass the tether strap underneath the head

restraint and between its posts.

4. Attach the hook to the wire anchorage on the

cab back wall (inside the opening labeled with

the tether anchorage symbol.)

WARNING!

Do not attach a tether strap for a rear-facing car

seat to any location in front of the car seat,

including the seat frame or a tether anchorage.

Only attach the tether strap of a rear-facing car

seat to the tether anchorage that is approved for

that seating position, located behind the top of

the vehicle seat. See
