Seating and safety restraints
LATCH anchors for child seat installation have been provided in your
vehicle at the following locations:
The anchors at the center of the
rear seat are much further apart
than the sets of lower anchors for
child seat installation at other
seating positions. Some LATCH
equipped child seats can be placed
in the center position and will reach
the nearest LATCH anchors which
are 400 mm (15.75 in) apart, but a
child seat with rigid LATCH attachments cannot be installed at this
seating position. LATCH compatible child seat (with attachments on belt
webbing) can be used at this seating position only if the child seat
instructions state that the child seat can be installed to anchors that are
400 mm (15.75 in) apart. Do not attach two child seats to the same
LATCH anchor.
WARNING: Do not attach a child seat to any lower anchors
used for child seat installation if an adjacent child seat is
attached to that anchor. In a crash, one anchor may not be
strong enough to hold two child seat attachments and may
break, causing serious injury or death.
The lower anchors for child seat
installation are located at the rear
section of the rear seat between the
cushion and seat back. To find an
anchor, look for the locator symbol.
Each lower anchor for child seat
installation is located 2–3 inches
below the locator symbols.
Follow the child seat manufacturer's
instructions to properly install safety
seats with LATCH lower anchors
and LATCH-compatible attachments.
