Installing child safety seats in the center front seating position

Always transport children 12 years old and under in the rear

seats and always properly use appropriate child restraints.

It is safer to install child safety seats in seating positions that

have child seat anchors. The front seat has no tether anchor nor

does it have LATCH anchors.

1. Lengthen the lap belt. To lengthen the belt, hold the tongue so that its

bottom is perpendicular to the direction of webbing while sliding the

tongue up the webbing.

2. Place the child safety seat in the center seating position.

3. Route the tongue and webbing through the child seat according to the

child seat manufacturer’s instructions.

4. Insert the belt tongue into the proper buckle for the center seating

position until you hear a snap and feel it latch. Make sure the tongue is

securely fastened to the buckle by pulling on tongue.

5. Push down on the child seat with your knee while pulling on the loose

end of the lap belt webbing to tighten the belt.

6. Before placing the child into the child seat, forcibly move the child

seat from side to side and forward to make sure that the seat is held

securely. If the child seat moves excessively, repeat steps 5 through 6, or

properly install the child seat in a different position.

Attaching child safety seats with tether straps

Most new forward-facing child safety seats include a tether strap which

goes over the back of the seat and hooks to an anchoring point. Tether

straps are available as an accessory for many older safety seats. Contact

the manufacturer of your child seat for information about ordering a

tether strap.

Some of the rear seats of your vehicle are equipped with built-in tether

strap anchors located behind the seats as described below.

In the third row center seating position, the tether anchor is a loop at

the bottom of the seatback.
