WARNING:
o Never mount more than one child re-
straint to a single tether or to a single
lower anchorage point. The increased
load caused by multiple seats may
cause the tethers or anchorage points
to break, causing serious injury or
death.
!
WARNING:
o A child can be seriously injured or
killed in a collision if the child restraint
is not properly anchored. Always
follow the child seat manufacturer’s
instructions for installation and use.
o Never install a child restraint using
the lower anchors at the center posi-
tion of the rear seat. In a crash, the
LATCH anchors may break if a car
seat is improperly placed in the cen-
ter position resulting in serious or
fatal injuries. Only place a LATCH or
LATCH-compatible child seat in the
left or right out-board rear seating
positions (as shown) to the appropri-
ate LATCH anchors provided.

Securing the Child Restraint Seat
with the "LATCH" system
Some child seat manufacturers make safety
seats that are labeled as LATCH or LATCH-
compatible child seats. These seats in-
clude two rigid or webbing mounted at-
tachments that connect to two lower an-
chors at specific seating positions in your
vehicle. This type of child seat eliminates
the need to use seat belts to attach the child
seat; the tether strap must also be attached
to the proper tether anchor point. For infor-
mation on using tether straps, refer to “In-
stalling a Child Restraint Seat with the
“Tether Anchorage” system”.

LATCH anchors have been provided in
your vehicle. The LATCH anchors are lo-
cated in the left and right outboard 2nd rear
seating positions.
Their locations are shown in the illustra-
tion. There is no lower anchor provided for
the center rear seating position.
