Replacing LATCH
System Parts After
a Crash
{ CAUTION
A crash can damage the
LATCH system in the vehicle.
A damaged LATCH system may
not properly secure the child
restraint, resulting in serious
injury or even death in a crash.
To help make sure the LATCH
system is working properly
after a crash, see your dealer/
retailer to have the system
inspected and any necessary
replacements made as soon
as possible.
If the vehicle has the LATCH system
and it was being used during a crash,
new LATCH system parts may be
needed.
New parts and repairs may be
necessary even if the LATCH
system was not being used at
the time of the crash.
Securing Child Restraints
(Rear Seat)
When securing a child restraint in
a rear seating position, study the
instructions that came with your child
restraint to make sure it is compatible
with this vehicle.
If your child restraint has the LATCH
system, see Lower Anchors and
Tethers for Children (LATCH) on
page 1-45 for how to install your child
restraint using LATCH. If you secure
a child restraint using a safety belt
and it uses a top tether, see Lower
Anchors and Tethers for Children
(LATCH) on page 1-45 for top tether
anchor locations.
