DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY can occur
•Only use the car seat LATCH System in vehicle seating locations recommended by the vehicle manufacturer for use with LATCH and that have an anchor spacing of 280 mm (11 inches).
•LATCH connectors must be secured to the vehicle LATCH anchorages only. Connection to other vehicle components could result in the anchor tearing free in a crash.
•Never attach more than one anchor connector to a vehicle lower anchorage unless recommended by the vehicle owner’s manual for that vehicle.
1 Refer to vehicle owner’s manual to identify the seating locations with LATCH System. Select the seating location to be used and locate the vehicle lower anchorages at the seat bight.
A LATCH Anchorage System with 280 mm (11 inch) spacing may not be available in your vehicle in the rear center seating position. If use of the rear center position is preferred, use the vehicle seat belt to secure the car seat. See “Securing Base With Vehicle Seat Belt” section.
