For some systems, you can use either
installation method. Always follow the child
restraint manufacturer’s instructions and
recommendations.
Installing LATCH or ISOFIX Child Seats
WARNING: Child seat anchorages are
designed only to withstand the loads
imposed by a correctly installed child
safety seat. Under no circumstances
are they to be used for adult seat
belts, harnesses, or attaching other
items or equipment to the vehicle.
WARNING: Never attach two child
safety seats to one anchor point. In
a collision, one anchor point may be
incapable of securing both seats.
WARNING: If the restraint is not
correctly anchored, there is a risk of
serious injury to the child in the event
of a collision or emergency braking.
The outer rear seats are equipped to accept
LATCH/ISOFIX restraints.
Note: Only a seat belt retained child seat can
be used in the center rear seating position.
To install a LATCH/ISOFIX child seat:
1. The lower LATCH/ISOFIX anchorage
points are located between the seat
back rest and rear cushion, indicated
by child seat identification tabs on the
seat.
2. Position the child seat on the vehicle
seat.
3. Attach the child seat latches onto
the LATCH/ISOFIX lower anchor
points, following the manufacturer’s
instructions to connect and tighten
them.
4. Securely connect and tighten the
latches. To do this, attempt to pull the
child seat away from the vehicle seat
and twist it from side to side. Even if
the child seat appears secure, check the
anchor points visually to make sure for
correct attachment.
If the child seat moves more than 1 inch
(2.5 cm) from side to side or front to
back, it is too loose. If you cannot
tighten the latches any further, try a
