Child seat mounts - “LATCH” type
This vehicle is provided with two “LATCH” ( Lower
Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) type mounts (at
each of the outer rear seats) for the installation of a
“LATCH” child seat having the matching mounting
fittings. The mounts can be folded back between the
seat cushion and the backrest.

left side mounting fittings (1).

mount and return mount into its catch.
Non-“LATCH” type child seats may also be used and are
capable of being installed using the vehicle’s seat belt
system. Install child seat according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Note:
With a child seat installed in the left rear seat, the seat
belt for the center seat occupied by a passenger must
