4. Remove the head restraint.
However, when installing a backless
booster seat, always install the
vehicle head restraint to the seat
where the backless booster seat is
installed.
Refer to How to Use the Head
Restraints on page 3-44.
5. Secure the child-restraint system
using BOTH ISOFIX/LATCH
*1
lower
anchors, following the
child-restraint system
manufacturer's instruction. Pull on
the child-restraint to be sure both
anchors are engaged.
6. If your child-restraint system came
equipped with a tether, that means
it is very important to properly
secure the tether for child safety.
Please carefully follow the
child-restraint system
manufacturer's instructions when
installing tethers.

1 ISOFIX (Mexico)/LATCH (Except
Mexico)
Installation on rear center seat
The ISOFIX/LATCH
*1
lower anchors at
the center of the second-row seat are
much further apart than the sets of
ISOFIX/LATCH
*1
lower anchors for
child-restraint system installation at
other seating positions. Child-restraint
systems with rigid ISOFIX/LATCH
*1
attachments cannot be installed on the
center seating position. Some ISOFIX/
LATCH
*1
equipped child-restraint
systems can be placed in the center
position and will reach the nearest
ISOFIX/LATCH
*1
lower anchors which
are 434 mm (17.1 in) apart. ISOFIX/
LATCH
*1
compatible child-restraint
systems (with attachments on belt
webbing) can be used at this seating
position only if the child-restraint
system manufacturer's instructions
state that the child-restraint system can
be installed to ISOFIX/LATCH
*1
lower
anchors that are 434 mm (17.1 in)
apart. Do not attach two child-restraint
systems to the same ISOFIX/LATCH
*1
lower anchor. If your child-restraint
system has a tether, it must also be
used for your child's optimum safety.
The procedure for installation on the
rear outboard seats is the same.
