Securing a Child Restraint
Designed for the LATCH
System
{ CAUTION
If a LATCH-type child restraint
is not attached to anchors, the
child restraint will not be able
to protect the child correctly.
In a crash, the child could be
seriously injured or killed. Install
a LATCH-type child restraint
properly using the anchors, or
use the vehicle’s safety belts to
secure the restraint, following
the instructions that came with
the child restraint and the
instructions in this manual.
{ CAUTION
Do not attach more than
one child restraint to a single
anchor. Attaching more than
one child restraint to a single
anchor could cause the anchor
or attachment to come loose
or even break during a crash.
A child or others could be
injured. To reduce the risk of
serious or fatal injuries during
a crash, attach only one child
restraint per anchor.
{ CAUTION
Children can be seriously
injured or strangled if a
shoulder belt is wrapped
around their neck and the
safety belt continues to tighten.
Buckle any unused safety belts
behind the child restraint so
children cannot reach them.
Pull the shoulder belt all the
way out of the retractor to set
the lock, if your vehicle has
one, after the child restraint
has been installed.
Notice: Do not let the LATCH
attachments rub against the
vehicle’s safety belts. This may
damage these parts. If necessary,
move buckled safety belts to avoid
rubbing the LATCH attachments.
