Your vehicle has a top strap anchor for the rear seating positions. The anchors are located at the bottom rear of the rear seat.

In order to get to the anchor for the center seat, you may need to fold the seatback of the passenger-side seat forward. Follow these steps.

  1. Place the child restraint on the center seat.
  2. Fold the rear passenger-side seatback forward. See Rear Seat Operation .
  3. Find the top strap anchor at the rear base of the center seat and attach the top strap according to the instructions that came with the child restraint.
  4. Caution: If either seatback is not locked, it could move forward in a sudden stop or crash. That could cause injury to the person sitting there. Always push and pull on the seatbacks to be sure they are locked.

    Caution: A safety belt that is improperly routed, not properly attached, or twisted will not provide the protection needed in a crash. The person wearing the belt could be seriously injured. After raising the rear seatback, always check to be sure that the safety belts are properly routed and attached, and are not twisted.

  5. Return the rear passenger-side seatback to its upright position. Ensure that the seatback locks and that the safety belt is routed properly.
  6. Continue to install the child restraint according to the instructions that came with the child restraint.

Do not secure a child restraint in the right front passenger's position if a national or local law requires that the top strap be anchored, or if the instructions that come with the child restraint say that the top strap must be anchored. There is no place to anchor the top strap in this position.
