Your vehicle's side rear seats are all
equipped with the child restraint
anchorage system called LATCH.
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.
Installing a LATCH- Compatible Child
Restraint System
The lower LATCH anchorages are "U"
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 placed on the rear parcel
shelf behind the head restraints.
Understanding the Vehicle
Such anchorages can be reached

To install a LATCH-Compatible child
restraint seat proceed as follows.

the head restraints.
• Route the top tether to provide
