Locating LATCH Anchorages
The lower anchorages are round
bars that are found at the rear of
the seat cushion where it meets the
seatback, 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.
Locating Tether Anchorages
There are tether strap anchorages
behind each rear seating position
located in the panel between the
rear seatback and the rear window.
They are found under a plastic
cover with the tether anchorage
symbol on it.
LATCH-compatible child restraint systems will
be equipped with a rigid bar or a flexible strap
on each side. Each will have a hook or connec-
tor to attach to the lower anchorage and a way
to tighten the connection to the anchorage.
Forward-facing child restraints and some rear-
facing child restraints will also be equipped with
a tether strap. The tether strap will have a hook
at the end to attach to the top tether anchorage
and a way to tighten the strap after it is attached
to the anchorage.
Center Seat LATCH
If a child restraint installed in the center position
blocks the seat belt webbing or buckle for the
outboard position, do not use that outboard posi-
tion. If a child seat in the center position blocks the
outboard LATCH anchors or seat belt, do not
install a child seat in that outboard position.
WARNING!
Never use the same lower anchorage to attach
more than one child restraint. Please refer to
“Installing The LATCH-Compatible Child Re-
straint System” in this “Child Restraints” sec-
tion for typical installation instructions.
Always follow the directions of the child
restraint manufacturer when installing your
child restraint. Not all child restraint sys-
tems will be installed as described here.
