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.

• The second row seating positions have lower anchors and top tether anchors. The third

row seating positions (if equipped) do not have lower anchors or 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. 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 seatback and
seat cushion.

In addition, there are tether strap

anchors located behind each rear seat-
back, near to the floor.
