58 1-2. Child safety
■ When installing in the rear center seat
There are no LATCH anchors behind the rear center seat. However, the inboard LATCH anchors of the outboard seats, which are 16.54 in.( 420 mm) apart, can be used if the child restraint system manufacturer’ s instructions permit use of those anchors with the anchor spacing stated.
Child restraint systems with rigid lower attachments cannot be installed in the center seat. This type of child restraint system can only be installed in the outboard seat.
■ Laws and regulations pertaining to anchors
The LATCH system conforms to FMVSS225 or CMVSS210.2.
Child restraint systems conforming to FMVSS213 or CMVSS213 specifications can be used.
This vehicle is designed to conform to SAE J1819.
WARNING
■ When installing a child restraint system
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
●When using the LATCH
anchors, be sure that there are no foreign objects around the
anchors and that the seat belt is not caught behind the child restraint system.
● Follow all installation instructions provided by the child restraint system manufacturer.
●Never attach two child restraint system attachments to the same anchor. In a collision, one anchor may not be strong enough to hold two child restraint system attachments and may break. If the LATCH anchors are already in use, use the seat belt to install a child restraint system in the center seat.
●When securing some types of child restraint systems in rear seats, it may not be possible to properly use the seat belts in
positions next to the child restraint without interfering with it or affecting seat belt effectiveness. Be sure your seat belt fits snugly across your shoulder and low on your hips. If it does
not, or if it interferes with the child restraint, move to a different position. Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
●If the seat is adjusted, reconfirm the security of the child restraint system.
