Maserati Ghibli 2016 Owner's Manual page 73

The LATCH system allows the child
restraint systems to be fixed without
using the vehicle's seat belts, instead
fixing the child restraint system to the
vehicle structure, using lower
anchorages A and upper tether strap
B.
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
The lower LATCH anchorages are
"U-shaped" metal rings located on the
rear seat where the cushion meets the
seatback just below the symbol shown
in the picture, but are not visible. You
will find them if you run your finger
along the intersection of the seatback
and seat cushion surfaces.
In addition, there are tether strap
anchorages behind each rear seat.
NOTE:
The tether strap anchorage behind the
central rear seat should only be used
to secure a child restraint system with
the vehicle's seat belts.
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.
Before Starting
To install a LATCH-Compatible child
restraint seat proceed as follows.
• Secure the child seat to the
"U-shaped" lower metal rings
positioned on the rear seat.
• Fix the top tether strap (provided
with the child seat), to the anchor
located in the rear part of the
backrest.
• Lift the plastic cover located behind
the seat where you want to install
the child restraint system.
