Lower Anchors And Tethers For CHildren (LATCH) Restraint System
Your vehicle is equipped with the child re-
straint anchorage system called LATCH,
which stands for Lower Anchors and Teth-
ers for CHildren. The LATCH system has
three vehicle anchor points for installing
LATCH-equipped child seats. There are two
lower anchorages located at the back of
the seat cushion where it meets the seat-
back and one top tether anchorage located
behind the seating position. These anchor-
ages are used to install LATCH-equipped child seats without using the vehicle' s seat belts.
Some seating positions may have a top tether anchorage but no lower anchorages. In
these seating positions, the seat belt must be used with the top tether anchorage to in-
stall the child restraint. Please see the following table for more information.
