Installing The LATCH - Compatible Child Restraint System
• Each vehicle, except commercial cargo vehicles, is equipped with the child restraint
anchorage system called LATCH, which stands for Lower Anchors and Tether for
CHildren.
• Two LATCH child restraint anchorage systems are installed on all second-row seats and
in the center position on all third row fold-in-floor seats.
• Second-row seats also feature tether strap anchorages, located in the rear surface of
the seatback.
• In addition, all third row fold-in-floor seats are equipped with a child restraint tether
anchor at the center seating position.
Installing The Lower Attachments:
• The vehicle lower anchorages are round bars located at the rear of the seat cushion
where it meets the seatback.
• Loosen the adjusters on the lower child
restraint attachment straps to ease the
installation.
NOTE: It is recommended to loosen the top
tether strap and route it loosely prior to
securing the lower anchors so the top tether
strap is not trapped between the vehicle seat
and child restraint.
• Attach the lower child restraint attachment straps to the vehicle’s lower anchor bars.
Ensure that the lower attachment strap is firmly engaged and that the hook is secure.
• Tighten the lower attachment strap while firmly pushing the child restraint rearward
and downward into the vehicle seat. Remove all slack in the lower attachment straps.
