Installing The LATCH-Compatible Child Restraint
System
We urge you to follow the manufacturer’s directions

carefully when installing your child restraint. Not all

child restraint systems will be installed as described here.

Again, carefully follow the installation instructions that

are provided with the child restraint system.

located at the rear of the seat cushion where it

meets the seatback and are just visible when

you lean into the rear seat to install the child

restraint. You will easily feel them if you run your finger

along the intersection of the seatback and seat cushion

surfaces.

In addition, there are tether strap anchorages

behind each rear seating position located in the

panel between the rear seatback and the rear

window. These tether strap anchorages are under a

plastic cover with this symbol on it.

separate straps on each side, with each having a hook or

connector for attachment to the lower anchorage and a

means of adjusting the tension in the strap. Forward-

facing toddler restraints and some rear-facing infant

restraints will also be equipped with a tether strap, a

hook for attachment to the tether strap anchorage and a

means of adjusting the tension of the strap.

straps and on the tether strap so that you can more easily
