this chapter for more information.
Your vehicle has LATCH lower anchors for child seat installation at the
following seating positions. In addition, six passenger and seven
passenger LATCH lower anchor positions are marked with the child seat
symbol.

vehicles)
• Second row bucket seats (applicable to six-passenger vehicles)
WARNING: Never attach two LATCH 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.
