dents.
Some types of child restraint systems can
be installed on the rear seat of your vehicle
without use of the seatbelts. Such child
restraint systems are secured to the
dedicated anchorages provided on the
vehicle body. The lower and tether an-
chorages are sometimes referred to as the
LATCH system (Lower Anchors and
Tethers for CHildren).
Your vehicle is equipped with four lower
anchorages (bars) and three upper an-
chorages (tether anchorages) for accom-
modating such child restraint systems.
! Lower anchorages
WARNING
Do not connect two or more lower
hooks onto the same anchorage
(bar).
Two lower anchorages (bars) are provided
for installing a child restraint system on the
rear seat window-side seating positions.
Lower anchorages (bars) for window-side
seating positions may be used for a seat in
the center seating position if a child
restraint system manufacturer's instruc-
tions permit and specify using anchors as
far apart as those in this vehicle. Each
lower anchorage is located where the seat
cushion meets the seatback.
! Tether anchorages
The tether anchorages (upper an-
chorages) are provided at the locations
shown in the above illustration. For details,
refer to "Top tether anchorages" FP115.
