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 the section
“Installing Child Restraints Using the Top Tether
Anchorage” 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 be-
hind the child restraint and out of the child’s reach. If
the buckled seat belt interferes with the child re-
straint 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 manufacturer’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 cir-
cumstances are they to be used for adult seat
belts, harnesses, or for attaching other items
or equipment to the vehicle.
