Locating The Upper Tether Anchorages
There are tether strap anchorages behind each second row seating position, located on the
back of the seat, near the floor.
LATCH-compatible child restraint systems
will be equipped with a rigid bar or a flexible
strap on each side. Each will have a hook or
connector to attach to the lower anchorage
and a way to tighten the connection to the
anchorage. Forward-facing child restraints
and some rear-facing child restraints will
also be equipped with a tether strap. The
tether strap will have a hook at the end to
attach to the top tether anchorage and a
way to tighten the strap after it is attached
to the anchorage.
Center Seat LATCH
This vehicle has 5 lower LATCH anchorages in the rear seat. Anchorages A and B are used
for the right outboard position behind the front passenger (1). Anchorages D and E are
used for the left outboard position behind the driver (3). Anchorages B and C are used for
the center seating position (2). Do not install a LATCH-compatible child restraint using
anchorages C and D. This is not a LATCH-compatible position in your vehicle.
You can install up to two child seats using the LATCH system at the same time. If you are
installing three child restraints, you must use the seat belt to install the center child
restraint. You can use either the LATCH anchors for positions (1) and (3) or the vehicle's
seat belt for installing the child seats in the outboard positions.
Options for installing two child seats using the LATCH anchorages in this vehicle:
1. Right and left outboard seating positions (1 and 3): Install the child seats in the right
and left outboard seating positions using lower anchorages A and B, and D and E. Do
not use the center seat anchorage, C. If the child seats do not block the center seat belt
webbing and buckle, the center seat belt can be used to restrain an occupant or child
restraint in the center seating position.
2. Left outboard and center seating positions (3 and 2): Install the first child seat in the
left outboard seating position using lower anchorages D and E. Install the second child
seat using the center anchorages, B and C. Do not use the outer anchorage closest to
the opposite door, A. Do not use the remaining right outboard seating position (1) for
any occupant. The center child restraint will block the seat belt buckle for this position.
