Some types of child restraint systems can
be installed on the rear seat of your vehi-
cle without use of the seatbelts. Such child
restraint systems are secured to the des-
ignated anchorages provided on the vehi-
cle body. The lower and tether anchorag-
es are sometimes referred to as the
LATCH system ( L ower A nchors and T eth-

anchorages (bars) and three upper an-
chorages (tether anchorages) for accom-

es) are provided for all the seating posi-
tions (middle and both window-side ones)
of the rear seat.

curely in position. If it is not held
tight and secure, the danger of your
child suffering personal injury in the
event of an accident may be in-
creased.
