LATCH Label
What is the weight limit (child's weight + weight of the child restraint) for
using the LATCH anchorage system to attach the child restraint?
Can the LATCH anchorages and the seat belt be used together to attach a
rear-facing or forward-facing child restraint?
Can a child seat be installed in the center position using the inner LATCH
lower anchorages from the outboard seating positions?
Your vehicle is equipped with the child restraint anchor-
age system called LATCH, which stands for Lower
Anchors and Tethers 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 seatback and one top tether anchorage located
behind the seating position. These anchorages 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 anchor-
ages. In these seating positions, the seat belt must be
used with the top tether anchorage to install the child
restraint. Please see the following table for more
information.

Use the LATCH anchorage system until the combined weight of the child and
the child restraint is 65 lb (29.5 kg). Use the seat belt and tether anchor
instead of the LATCH system once the combined weight is more than 65 lb
(29.5 kg).
Do not use the seat belt when you use the LATCH anchorage system to
attach a rear-facing or forward-facing child restraint.
Booster seats may be attached to the LATCH anchorages if allowed by the
booster seat manufacturer. See your booster seat owner's manual for more
information.
