Always use the right child restraint for each child and always use it properly.
LATCH/UAS lower universal anchorages secure the child restraint system in the seat without using
the vehicle's safety belts. Anchorages provide a secure and easy-to-use attachment and minimize the
possibility of improper child restraint installation. If you decide to install a child restraint system using
the standard safety belt instead of the LATCH/UAS anchorages for the respective seating position, be
sure to always carefully follow the child restraint manufacturer's instructions on how to route the
safety belt properly through the child restraint and how to restrain the child in the child restraint.
When using the vehicle safety belt to install a child restraint, you must activate the switchable locking
feature on the safety belt to help prevent the child restraint from moving ⇒Installing child restraints
with a safety belt .
Do not use the switchable locking feature when using the vehicle's safety belt to restrain a child on a
booster seat.
Push the child restraint down with your full weight to get the safety belt really tight so that the seat
cannot move forward or sideways more than about 1inch (2.5cm).
Important additional information about installing a child restraint system on the front passenger
seat:
If you must install a child restraint on the front passenger seat in exceptional circumstances, be sure
to read and heed the important information and warnings in the section of this Manual that begins on
⇒Child restraints and the Advanced Airbag System .
There are also additional adjustments that must be made in order to be able to properly install a
child restraint on the front passenger seat:
Set the safety belt upper anchorage for the front passenger seat so that the available safety belt is
long enough to properly install the child restraint. Always follow the child restraint manufacturer's in‐
stallation instructions ⇒ .
Move the front passenger seat to the highest position in the seat's up and down adjustment range
and to the rearmost position in the seat's fore and aft adjustment range, as far away from the airbag
as possible before installing the forward-facing child restraint and make sure the backrest is in the up‐
right position ⇒ .
Always make sure that the safety belt upper anchorage is behind the child restraint and not next to or
in front of the child restraint so that the safety belt will be properly positioned.
