Seats and Restraints

In Canada, the law requires that
forward-facing child restraints have
a top tether, and that the tether be
attached.

Your vehicle does not have lower
anchors or top tether anchors to
secure a child restraint with the
LATCH system. If a national or
local law requires that your top
tether be anchored, do not use a
child restraint in this vehicle
because a top tether cannot be
properly anchored. You must use
the safety belts to secure your child
restraint in this vehicle, unless a
national or local law requires that
the top tether be anchored. Refer to
the child restraint instructions and
instructions in this manual for
securing a child restraint using the
vehicle's safety belts. See Securing
Child Restraints on page 3‑48
.

Lower Anchors and
Tethers for Children
(LATCH System)
(ZO6 and ZR1
Models Only)

Some child restraints have a LATCH
system. As part of the LATCH
system, your child restraint may
have lower attachments and/or a
top tether. The LATCH system can
help hold the child restraint in place
during driving or in a crash. Some
vehicles have lower and/or top
tether anchors designed to secure
a child restraint with lower
attachments and/or a top tether.

Your vehicle does not have lower
anchors to accommodate lower
attachments. Your vehicle does
have a top tether anchor. If your

child restraint has a top tether,
make sure your child restraint is
properly installed using the top
tether anchor and the vehicle's
safety belt. A child restraint must
never be installed using only the
top tether and anchor. Refer to
your child restraint instructions and
see Securing Child Restraints on
page 3‑48
for instructions on
securing your child restraint using
the vehicle's safety belts.

In order to use the top tether
anchors in your vehicle, you
need a child restraint equipped
with a top tether. The child restraint
manufacturer will provide you with
instructions on how to use the child
restraint and its top tether. The
following explains how to attach a
child restraint with the top tether in
your vehicle.
