In order to use the system, you need either
a forward-facing child restraint that has
attaching points (B) at its base and a top
tether anchor (C), or a rear-facing child
restraint that has attaching points (B), as
shown here.

With this type of child restraint, use the
LATCH system instead of the vehicle’s
safety belts to secure the child restraint.

Securing a Child Restraint
Designed for the LATCH System
(Rear)

1) Find the anchors for the seating posi-

tion you want to use, where the bottom
of the seatback meets the back of the
seat cushion.

2) Put the child restraint on the seat.
3) Attach the anchor points on the child

restraint to the anchors in the vehicle.
The child restraint instructions will show
you how.

4) If the child restraint is forward-facing,

attach the top strap to the top strap
anchor. See “Top Strap” in this section.
Tighten the top strap according to the
child restraint instructions.

5) Push and pull the child restraint in dif-

ferent directions to be sure it is secure.

To remove the child restraint, simply
unhook the top strap from the top tether
anchor and then disconnect the lower
anchor points.

WARNING

If a LATCH-type child restraint isn’t
attached to its anchorage points, the
restraint won’t be able to protect the
child correctly. In a crash, the child
could be severely injured or killed.
Make sure that a LATCH-type child
restraint is properly installed using
the anchorage points. If your child
restraint is not designed for the
LATCH system, use the vehicle’s
safety belts to secure the restraint,
following the instructions that came
with that restraint, and also the
instructions in this manual.
