The LATCH anchors are located at the rear section of the rear seat
between the cushion and seatback, below the locator symbols on the
seatback. Follow the child seat manufacturer’s instructions to properly
install a child seat with LATCH attachments.

The locator symbols are on round plastic buttons for the center seat and
on rectangular tags for the outboard seats.

Follow the instructions on attaching child safety seats with tether straps.
See Using Tether Straps in this chapter.

Attach LATCH lower attachments of the child seat only to the anchors
shown.

Each time you use the safety seat, check that the seat is properly
attached to the lower anchors and tether anchor, if applicable. Tug the
child seat from side to side and forward and back where it is secured to
the vehicle. The seat should move less than one inch when you do this
for a proper installation.

If the safety seat is not anchored properly, the risk of a child being
injured in a crash greatly increases.

Combining Safety Belt and LATCH Lower Anchors for Attaching
Child Safety Seats

When used in combination, either the safety belt or the LATCH lower
anchors may be attached first, provided a proper installation is achieved.
Attach the tether strap afterward, if included with the child seat.
