Securing the child restraint with
LATCH/UCRA lower universal
anchorages

Please read the introductory information and
heed the Warnings and Notice and on page
1.
Fig. 8 On the second row seat backrests: Markings
indicating the location of the LATCH/UCRA lower
universal anchorages.
LATCH is used in the United States and stands for
Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children. In Cana-
da, Universal Child Restraint Anchorages (UCRA)
is used to describe the combination of top tether
straps and lower anchorages.
All child restraints manufactured after Septem-
ber 1, 1999 must have LATCH/UCRA lower uni-
versal anchorages.
Each seating position in the second row has the
LATCH/UCRA lower universal anchorage attach-
ment points on the lower part of the backrests.
The circular markings on the backrests help you
to locate the lower anchorages
→
fig. 8 . The third
row seating positions do not have LATCH/UCRA
lower universal anchorage attachment points.
LATCH/UCRA lower universal anchorages secure
the child restraint system in the seat without us-
ing the vehicle's safety belts. Anchorages provide
a secure and easy-to-use attachment and mini-
mize the possibility of improper child restraint in-
stallation.
Remember that the LATCH/UCRA lower universal
anchorage points are only intended for installa-
tion and attachment of child restraints specifical-
ly certified for use with these lower universal an-
chorages. Child restraints that are not equipped
with the LATCH/UCRA lower universal anchorage
attachments can still be installed with vehicle
safety belts according to the child restraint man-
ufacturer's instructions. You must never mount
2 child restraint systems to one LATCH/UCRA
lower universal anchorage point at the same
time. For example, never install a child restraint
with LATCH/UCRA lower universal anchorage
points on one of the second row outboard seat-
ing positions and then use the inboard anchorage
to also install a child restraint in the center of the
second row. Instead, use the LATCH/UCRA lower
universal anchorage points specifically intended
for the second row center seat.
The child restraint must not contact or push
against any of the safety belt buckles to help
prevent damage to the buckles, which can make
the buckles unusable or unsafe.
There are 2 ways to attach an appropriate child
restraint to the LATCH/UCRA lower universal an-
chorages:
Rigid connectors on bars at the back of the
child restraint:
Depending on your vehicle's seats, you may want
to use guide fixtures when installing a child re-
straint that has rigid mountings. Installation with
guide fixtures is easier and protects the uphols-
tery. Guide fixtures are included with the child
restraint in some cases. If not, they can be pur-
chased from an authorized Volkswagen dealer or
an authorized Volkswagen Service Facility. The
guide fixtures must be installed in accordance
with the manufacturer's instructions at the an-
chorage points between the seat cushion and the
seat backrest.
–
Make sure the seat backrest of the second row
seat is in the upright position and securely
latched in place.
–
Release or deploy the top tether strap (if one is
required by the child restraint manufacturer or
by law) to secure the seat
