Your vehicle has LATCH lower
anchors for child seat installation at
the seating positions marked with
the child seat symbol.

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

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

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

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.

Using Tether Straps

Many forward-facing child safety seats include a tether strap
which extends from the back of the child safety seat and hooks
to an anchoring point called the top tether anchor. Tether

straps are available as an accessory for many older safety seats.

Contact the manufacturer of your child seat for information about
ordering a tether strap, or to obtain a longer tether strap if the tether
strap on your safety seat does not reach the appropriate top tether
anchor in your vehicle.
