booster seat.

3. Run the lap and shoulder belt through

or around the booster seat and the child

following the instructions provided by its

manufacturer.

4. Insert the tongue plate into the buckle

until you hear a click. Take care not to twist

the seatbelt.

Make sure the shoulder belt is positioned

across the center of child’s shoulder and

that the lap belt is positioned as low as

possible on the child’s hips.

5. To remove the booster seat, press the

release button on the seatbelt buckle and

allow the belt to retract.

WARNING

. Never use a belt that is twisted or

reversed. In an accident, this can

increase the risk or severity of

injury to the child.

. Never place the shoulder belt

under the child’s arm or behind

the child’s back. If an accident

occurs, this can increase the risk

or severity of injury to the child.

. The seatbelt should fit snugly in

order to provide full restraint.

Loose fitting belts are not as

effective in preventing or redu-

cing injury.

. Place the lap belt as low as

possible on the child’s hips. A

high-positioned lap belt will in-

crease the risk of sliding under

the lap belt and of the lap belt

sliding up over the abdomen, and

both can result in serious internal

injury or death.

. Make sure the shoulder belt is

positioned across the center of

child’s shoulder. Placing the

shoulder belt over the neck may

result in neck injury during sud-

den braking or in a collision.

the anchors properly. When using

the LATCH anchors, be sure that

there are no foreign objects around

the anchors. Also, the seat belts

should not be caught behind the

child restraint system. Make sure

the child restraint system is se-

curely attached. Otherwise it may

cause death or serious injury to

dents.

Some types of child restraint systems can

be installed on the rear seat of your vehicle

without use of the seatbelts. Such child

restraint systems are secured to the

designated anchorages provided on the

vehicle body. The lower and tether an-

chorages are sometimes referred to as the

LATCH system (Lower Anchors and

Tethers for CHildren).

Your vehicle is equipped with four lower

anchorages (bars) and three upper an-

chorages (tether anchorages) for accom-

modating such child restraint systems.

! Lower anchorages

S01AG070101

WARNING

Do not connect two or more lower

hooks onto the same anchorage

(bar).

Two lower anchorages (bars) are provided

for installing a child restraint system on the

rear seat window-side seating positions.

Lower anchorages (bars) for window-side

seating positions may be used for a seat in

the center seating position if a child

restraint system manufacturer’s instruc-

tions permit and specify using anchors as

far apart as those in this vehicle. Each

lower anchorage is located where the seat

cushion meets the seatback.

! Tether anchorages

S01AG070102

The tether anchorages (upper an-

chorages) are provided at the locations

shown in the above illustration. For details,

refer to “Top tether anchorages” F1-38.

! To install a child restraint system

using lower and tether an-

chorages

S01AG070103

To install a child restraint system using

lower and tether anchorages, perform the

following procedure.

WARNING

Before installing a child restraint

system, be sure to confirm that the

seatback is securely locked into

place. Otherwise, in an accident,

serious injury or death could result.

1. Move the seatback back and forth to

confirm that it is securely locked into place.

– Check that the red colored unlock-

ing marker which is attached to the

bottom of the lock release knob is

invisible. For details, refer to “Folding

down the rear seatback” F1-6.

2. You will find marks “ ” at the bottom of

the rear seat seatbacks. These marks

indicate the positions of the lower an-

chorages (bars).

Remove the covers and locate the lower

anchorages (bars).

If it is hard to install the child restraint

system because the anchorage cover

returns to the original position, press the

anchorage cover to the seat cushion until it

is flat.

3. Remove the rear seat head restraint.

For details, refer to “Rear seats” F1-9.

CAUTION

Store the head restraint that has

been removed in the cargo area.

Avoid placing the head restraint in

the passenger compartment to pre-

vent it from being thrown around in

the passenger compartment in a

sudden stop or a sharp turn.

4. While following the instructions sup-

plied by the child restraint system manu-

facturer, connect the lower hooks onto the

lower anchorages located at “

” marks on

the bottom of the rear seatback. When the

hooks are connected, make sure the

adjacent seatbelts are not caught.

5. If your child restraint system is a

flexible attachment type, (which uses

tether belts).

Push the child restraint into the seat

cushion and pull both left and right lower

tether belts up to secure the child restraint

system by taking up the slack in the belt.

6. Latch the top tether hook onto the

tether anchorage that is located behind the

rear seat and tighten the top tether firmly.

For additional instructions, refer to “Top

tether anchorages” F1-38.

7. Before seating a child in the child

restraint system, try to move it back and

forth and right and left to verify that it is held

securely in position.

8. To remove the child restraint system,

follow the reverse procedures of installa-

tion.

If you have any question concerning this

type of child restraint system, ask your

SUBARU dealer.

& Top tether anchorages

S01AG09

Your vehicle is equipped with three top

tether anchorages so that a child restraint

system having a top tether can be installed

in the rear seat. When installing a child

restraint system using top tether, proceed

as follows, while observing the instructions

by the child restraint system manufacturer.

Since a top tether can provide additional

stability by offering another connection

between a child restraint system and the

vehicle, we recommend that you use a top

tether whenever one is required or avail-

able.
