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.
Latch Weight Limit
You may use the LATCH anchorage sys-
tem 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).
Locating LATCH Anchorages
The lower anchorages are round
bars that are found at the rear of the
seat cushion where it meets the seat-
back, below the anchorage 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.
Locating Tether Anchorages
• In addition, there are tether strap anchorages behind each rear seating posi-
tion located on the back of the seat.
