To install a LATCH-compatible child
seat:

Move the seat belt buckle or
tongue away from the lower
anchors.

Your vehicle is equipped with
LATCH (lower anchors and tethers
for children) at the outer rear seats.

Make sure there are no objects
near the anchors that could
prevent a secure connection
between the child seat and the
anchors.

Push the rear head restraint tilt
button on the ceiling console to
pivot the head restraints down.

The lower anchors are located
between the seat-back and seat
bottom, and are to be used only with
a child seat designed for use with
LATCH.

The location of each lower anchor is
indicated by a small button above the
anchor point.
