Securing a Child Restraint Designed for the LATCH System

9-5 Sedan:

Before installation, please read through these instructions and the child restraint installation instructions.

1Find the lower anchors for the seating position you want to use. The lower anchors are located where the bottom of the seatback meets the back of the seat cushion. Above each lower anchor, there is a label indicating its location (see picture).

2Put the child restraint on the seat.

3Attach and tighten the lower anchor attachments on the child restraint to the vehicle lower anchors. If your child restraint does not have the lower attach- ments, you will be using the lap-shoul- der belt to secure the child restraint. The child restraint instructions will show you how.

4The top tether anchor is located on top of the parcel shelf. Use the top tether anchor right behind the seating position you want to use. Open the top tether anchor trim cover to expose the anchor. Snap the cover to lock in open position.

5Raise the vehicle head restraint to its highest position (see page 21 for detailed instructions).

6If you are using a single tether, route the tether under the vehicle head restraint, and attach the tether hook to the top tether anchor. If you are using a dual tether, route the tether around the vehi- cle head restraint, and attach the tether hook to the top tether anchor. Tighten the top tether strap. The child restraint instructions will show you how.

7Push and pull the child restraint in differ- ent directions to be sure it is secured at the lower anchors/safety belt and the top tether anchor. The child restraint shall be firmly attached to the vehicle.
