LATCH Child-Restraint System
Installation Procedure (Rear
Outboard Seats)

1. Expand the area between the seat

bottom and the seatback slightly to
verify the locations of the LATCH
lower anchors.

NOTE

The markings above the LATCH lower
anchors indicate the locations of
LATCH lower anchors for the
attachment of a child-restraint system.

2. Secure the child-restraint system using

BOTH LATCH lower anchors,
following the child-restraint system
manufacturer's instruction.

3. If your child-restraint system came

equipped with a tether, that probably
means it is very important to properly
secure the tether for child safety, please
carefully follow the child-restraint
system manufacturer's instructions
when installing tethers.
