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 anchors and top tether anchors.
• You may use the LATCH anchorage system
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 cushion
where it meets the seatback, below the an-
chorage 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 seatback and seat cushion.
• 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 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.
Installing The Child Restraint Using The LATCH Lower Anchors
NOTE:
Never “share” a LATCH anchorage with two or more child restraints.
1. Loosen the adjusters on the lower straps and on the tether strap of the child seat so that you
can more easily attach the hooks or connectors to the vehicle anchorages.
2. Attach the lower hooks or connectors of the child restraint to the lower anchorages in the
selected seating position.
3. If the child restraint has a tether strap, connect it to the top tether anchorage. See below for
directions to attach a tether anchor.
