LATCH — Lower Anchors And Tethers For CHildren

• Your vehicle is equipped with the child restraint anchorage system called LATCH, which

stands for Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren.

• All rear seating positions have lower an-

chors and top tether anchors.

• You may use the LATCH anchorage sys-

tem until the combined weight of the

child and the child restraint is 65 lbs

(29.5 kg). Use the seat belt and tether

anchor instead of the LATCH system once

the combined weight is more than 65 lbs

(29.5 kg).

•

The lower anchorages are round bars

that are found at the rear of the seat cush-

ion where it meets the seatback, below

the anchorage symbols on the seatback.

They are just visible when you lean into

the rear seat to install the child restraint.

You will easily feel them if you run your

finger along the gap between the seat-

back and seat cushion.

•

In addition, there are tether strap

anchorages behind each rear seating po-

sition located in the panel between the

rear seatback and the rear window. These

tether strap anchorages are under a plastic cover with the tether anchorage symbol on it.

• If a child restraint installed in the center position blocks the seat belt webbing or buckle

for the outboard position, do not use that outboard position. If a child seat in the center

position blocks the outboard LATCH anchors or seat belt, do not install a child seat in that

outboard position.

Installing The Child Restraint Using The LATCH Lower Anchors

NOTE:

Never “share” a LATCH anchorage with two or more child restraints.

1. Loosen the adjusters on the lower straps and on the tether strap of the child seat so that

you can more easily attach the hooks or connectors to the vehicle anchorages.

2. Attach the lower hooks or connectors of the child restraint to the lower anchorages in the

selected seating position.

3. If the child restraint has a tether strap, connect it to the top tether anchorage. See below

for directions to attach a tether anchor.
