Tethers for Children (LATCH
System) (ZO6 and ZR1 Models
Only) on page 3 44 for more
information. Children can be
endangered in a crash if the child
restraint is not properly secured in
the vehicle.
When securing an add-on child
restraint, refer to the instructions
that come with the restraint which
may be on the restraint itself or in a
booklet, or both, and to this manual.
The child restraint instructions are
important, so if they are not
available, obtain a replacement
copy from the manufacturer.
Keep in mind that an unsecured
child restraint can move around in a
collision or sudden stop and injure
people in the vehicle. Be sure to
properly secure any child restraint in
the vehicle even when no child is
in it.
In some areas of the United States
and Canada, Certified Child
Passenger Safety Technicians
(CPSTs) are available to inspect
and demonstrate how to correctly
use and install child restraints. In
the U.S., refer to the National
Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) website
to locate the nearest child safety
seat inspection station. For CPST
availability in Canada, check with
Transport Canada or the Provincial
Ministry of Transportation office.

Seats and Restraints
Lower Anchors and
Tethers for Children
(LATCH System) (Coupe
and Convertible

Models Only)

Some child restraints have a LATCH
system. As part of the LATCH
system, your child restraint may
have lower attachments and/or a
top tether. The LATCH system can
help hold the child restraint in place
during driving or in a crash. Some
vehicles have lower and/or top
tether anchors designed to secure
a child restraint with lower
attachments and/or a top tether.
Some child restraints with a top
tether are designed to be used
whether the top tether is anchored
or not. Other child restraints require
that the top tether be anchored.
A national or local law may require
that the top tether be anchored.
