LATCH — Lower Anchors And Tethers For CHildren
• Your vehicle is equipped with the child restraint anchorage system called LATCH,
which stands for Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren.
• All rear seating positions have lower anchors and top tether anchors.
• You may use the LATCH anchorage
system until the combined weight of
the child and the child restraint is
65 lbs (29.5 kg). Use the seat belt and
tether anchor instead of the LATCH
system once the combined weight is
more than 65 lbs (29.5 kg).
• The lower anchorages are round
bars that are found at the rear of the
seat cushion where it meets the seat-
back, below the anchorage symbols
on the seatback. They are just visible
when you lean into the rear seat to
install the child restraint. You will easily
feel them if you run your finger along
the gap between the seatback and
seat cushion.
• There are tether strap anchorages behind each rear seating position located
on the back of the seat.
This vehicle does not have a center seating position. Do not use the center lower
LATCH anchorages to install a child seat in the center of the back seat.
