Your vehicle has LATCH lower
anchors for child seat installation at
the seating positions marked with
the child seat symbol.

The LATCH anchors are located at
the rear section of the rear seat
between the cushion and seatback
below the symbols as shown. Follow
the child seat manufacturer’s
instructions to properly install a
child seat with LATCH attachments.

Follow the instructions on attaching child safety seats with tether straps.
Refer to Attaching child safety seats with tether straps later in this
chapter.

Attach LATCH lower attachments of the child seat only to the anchors
shown.

WARNING: Never attach two child safety seats to the same
anchor. In a crash, one anchor may not be strong enough to hold

two child safety seat attachments and may break, causing serious
injury or death.

WARNING: Depending on where you secure a child restraint,
and depending on the child restraint design, you may block

access to certain safety belt buckle assemblies and/or LATCH lower
anchors, rendering those features potentially unusable. To avoid risk of
injury, occupants should only use seating positions where they are able
to be properly restrained.
