Understanding the Vehicle
To install a LATCH-Compatible child
restraint seat proceed as follows.
• Secure the child seat to the passenger
seat with the seat belt.
• Lift the covering portion of the carpet
located behind the seat where you
want to install the child restraint
system.
• Route the top tether strap to provide
the most direct path between the
anchorage and the child restraint
system passing it through the loophole
on the seat.
• Attach the hook of the top tether
strap (provided with the child
restraint system) to the anchor on the
monocoque body behind the passenger
seat.
• Tighten the upper strap until you reach
the tension level recommended by the
restraint system manufacturer.
NOTE:
For any further details on installation
and/or use of child restraint system,
refer to the instructions provided with
the child seat.
WARNING!
If a forward facing child seat is fitted to
the passenger’s seat, make sure that the
passenger’s seat is fully rearwards and
is positioned at the lowest height.
WARNING!
•
A child seat should be fitted only
when the car is stationary. Follow the
instructions for assembly, disassembly
and positioning that the manufacturer
must supply with the child restraint
system.
•
An incorrectly anchored tether strap
could lead to increased head motion
and possible injury to the child. Use
only the anchor position directly
behind the child seat to secure a child
restraint top tether strap.
WARNING!
•
Improper installation of a child
restraint system to the LATCH
anchorages can lead to failure of an
infant or child restraint. The child could
be badly injured or killed. Follow
the child restraint manufacturer's
directions exactly when installing an
infant or child restraint system.
