Lower Anchors and
Tethers for Children
(LATCH System) (Coupe
and Convertible

Models Only)

Some child restraints have a LATCH
system. As part of the LATCH
system, your child restraint may
have lower attachments and/or a top
tether. The LATCH system can help
hold the child restraint in place
during driving or in a crash. Some
vehicles have lower and/or top
tether anchors designed to secure a
child restraint with lower
attachments and/or a top tether.
Some child restraints with a top
tether are designed to be used
whether the top tether is anchored
or not. Other child restraints require
that the top tether be anchored.
A national or local law may require
that the top tether be anchored.
In Canada, the law requires that
forward-facing child restraints have
a top tether, and that the tether be
attached.
Your vehicle does not have lower
anchors or top tether anchors to
secure a child restraint with the
LATCH system. If a national or local
law requires that your top tether be
anchored, do not use a child
restraint in this vehicle because a
top tether cannot be properly
anchored. You must use the safety
belts to secure your child restraint in
this vehicle, unless a national or
local law requires that the top tether
be anchored. Refer to the child
restraint instructions and
instructions in this manual for
securing a child restraint using the
vehicle's safety belts. See Securing
Child Restraints on page 3 37.

Lower Anchors and
Tethers for Children
(LATCH System) (Z06 and
ZR1 Models Only)
Some child restraints have a LATCH
system. As part of the LATCH
system, your child restraint may
have lower attachments and/or a top
tether. The LATCH system can help
hold the child restraint in place
during driving or in a crash. Some
vehicles have lower and/or top
tether anchors designed to secure a
child restraint with lower
attachments and/or a top tether.
Your vehicle does not have lower
anchors to accommodate lower
attachments. Your vehicle does
have a top tether anchor. If your
child restraint has a top tether, make
sure your child restraint is properly
installed using the top tether anchor
and the vehicle's safety belt. A child
restraint must never be installed
using only the top tether and
anchor.
