LATCH — Lower Anchors And Tethers For CHildren
• Your vehicle is equipped with the child restraint anchorage system called LATCH, which
stands for Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren.
• All rear seating positions have lower an-
chors and top tether anchors.
• You may use the LATCH anchorage sys-
tem until the combined weight of the
child and the child restraint is 65 lbs
(29.5 kg). Use the seat belt and tether
anchor instead of the LATCH system once
the combined weight is more than 65 lbs
(29.5 kg).
• The lower anchorages are round bars
that are found at the rear of the seat cush-
ion where it meets the seatback, below
the anchorage symbols on the seatback.
They 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 gap between the seat-
back and seat cushion.
• In addition, there are tether strap
anchorages behind each rear seating po-
sition located in the panel between the
rear seatback and the rear window. These
tether strap anchorages are under a plastic cover with the tether anchorage symbol on it.
• If a child restraint installed in the center position blocks the seat belt webbing or buckle
for the outboard position, do not use that outboard position. If a child seat in the center
position blocks the outboard LATCH anchors or seat belt, do not install a child seat in that
outboard position.
