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 seatback.
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.
Refer to Attaching child safety
seats with tether straps
later in this
chapter.

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

WARNING: Never attach
two child safety seats to the

same anchor. In a crash, one
anchor may not be strong enough
to hold two child safety seat
attachments and may break,
causing serious injury or death.

WARNING: Depending on where you secure a child restraint,
and depending on the child restraint design, you may block

access to certain safety belt buckle assemblies and/or LATCH lower
anchors, rendering those features potentially unusable. To avoid risk of
injury, occupants should only use seating positions where they are able
to be properly restrained.
