attachments

LATCH compatible child restraints include two
rigid or webbing-mounted attachments that can
be connected to two anchors located at certain
seating positions in your vehicle. With this
system, you do not have to use a vehicle seat
belt to secure the child restraint. Check your
child restraint for a label stating that it is
compatible with LATCH system. This information
may also be in the instructions provided by the
child restraint manufacturer.

LATCH rigid-mounted attachment

LATCH child restraints generally require the use
of a top tether strap. (See “TOP TETHER
STRAP CHILD RESTRAINT” later in this section
for installation instructions.)

When installing a child restraint, carefully read
and follow the instructions in this manual and
those supplied with the child restraint. (See
“CHILD RESTRAINT INSTALLATION USING
LATCH (except for Cargo Van models)” later in
this section.)

TOP TETHER STRAP CHILD RE-
STRAINT

If the manufacturer of your child restraint
requires the use of a top tether strap, it must
be secured to an anchor point.

WARNING

. Child restraint anchor points are

designed to withstand only those
loads imposed by correctly fitted
child restraints. Under no circum-
stances are they to be used for adult
seat belts or harnesses.

. If the cargo cover contacts the top

tether strap when it is attached to
the top tether anchor, remove the
cargo cover from the vehicle or
secure it on the cargo floor below
its attachment location. If the cargo
cover is not removed, it may da-
mage the top tether strap during a
collision. Your child could be ser-
iously injured or killed in a collision
if the child restraint top tether strap
is damaged.

. Do not allow cargo to contact the

top tether strap when it is attached
to the top tether anchor. Properly
