to help attach a child seat with rigid attachments. The guides hold the

seat trim away to expose the anchor and make it easier to attach some

child seats.

WARNING: Never attach two child safety seats to the same

anchor. In a crash, one anchor may not be strong enough to hold

two child safety seat attachments and may break, causing serious

injury or death.

WARNING: Depending on where you secure a child restraint,

and depending on the child restraint design, you may block

access to certain safety belt buckle assemblies and/or LATCH lower

anchors, rendering those features potentially unusable. To avoid risk of

injury, occupants should only use seating positions where they are able

to be properly restrained.

Use of inboard lower anchors from the outboard seating positions

(center seating use)

The lower anchors at the center of the second row rear seat are spaced

570 mm (22.4 inches) apart. The standardized spacing for LATCH lower

anchors is 280 mm (11 inches) center to center. A child seat with rigid

LATCH attachments cannot be installed at the center seating position.

LATCH compatible child seats (with attachments on belt webbing) can

only be used at this seating position provided that the child seat

manufacturer’s instructions permit use with the anchor spacing stated.

Do not attach a child seat to any lower anchor if an adjacent child seat is

attached to that anchor.

WARNING: The standardized spacing for LATCH lower anchors

is 280 mm (11 inches) center to center. Do not use LATCH

lower anchors for the center seating position unless the child seat

manufacturer’s instructions permit and specify using anchors spaced at

least as far apart as those in this vehicle.

Each time you use the safety seat, check that the seat is properly

attached to the lower anchors and tether anchor, if applicable. Tug the

child seat from side to side and forward and back where it is secured to

the vehicle. The seat should move less than one inch when you do this

for a proper installation.

If the safety seat is not anchored properly, the risk of a child being

injured in a crash greatly increases.
