Lower Anchorages And Top Tethers; Latch System - GMC 2005 Sierra 1500 Pickup Owner's Manual

Crew Cab
Top strap anchors for the rear seating positions are
located on the back panel of your vehicle, behind the
rear seat. In order to get to the brackets, you will have to
remove the trim plugs covering them.
A child restraint with a top strap should only be used in
the second row. Do not secure a child restraint in
the right front passenger's position of a crew cab if a
national or local law requires that the top strap be
anchored, or if the instructions that come with the child
restraint say that the top strap must be anchored.
There is no place to anchor the top strap in this position.
Lower Anchorages and Top
Tethers for Children

(LATCH System)

Your vehicle may have the LATCH system. For extended
cabs, you will find anchors for the rear outside seating
positions. For crew cabs, you will find anchors for the
second row center and second row right passenger
seating positions. For regular cabs, there are no anchors.
This system, designed to make installation of child
restraints easier, does not use the vehicle's safety belts.
Instead, it uses vehicle anchors and child restraint
attachments to secure the restraints. Some restraints
also use another vehicle anchor to secure a top
tether strap.
