LATCH-Compatible child restraint
systems are now available. You should
never install LATCH child seats so that
two seats share a common lower
anchorage.
If your child restraints are not
LATCH-Compatible, install the
restraints using the vehicle's seat belts.
Installing a LATCH- Compatible Child
Restraint System
Follow the child restraint
manufacturer's instructions provided
with the child restraint system.
The lower LATCH anchorages are "U"
metal rings located on the rear seat
where the cushion meets the seatback
and are located just below the symbol
shown in the picture, but are not
visible. You will easily feel them if you
run your finger along the intersection
70
of the seatback and seat cushion
surfaces.
In addition, there are tether strap
anchorages behind each rear seat. The
anchorages are located in the panel
between the rear seatback and the
rear window and are under a plastic
cover (indicated in the figure) with the
anchorage symbol on it.
To fix a LATCH-Compatible child
restraint seat proceed as follows.
• Secure the child seat to the "U"
lower metal rings positioned on the
rear seat;
• Fix the upper belt, also called Top
Tether (provided with the child seat),
to the attachments located in the
rear part of the backrest.
• Lift the plastic cover fitted behind
the seat where you want to install
the child restraint system.
• Route the seat belt to provide the
most direct path between the
anchorage and the child restraint
system passing it over the headrest.
• Attach the hook of the top tether
strap (provided with the child
restraint system) to the anchor.
