LATCH — Lower Anchors And Tethers For CHildren

• Your vehicle is equipped with the child restraint anchorage system called LATCH, which

stands for Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren.

• The second row seating positions and the third row center position have lower anchors

and top tether anchors.

• You may use the LATCH anchorage system until the combined weight of the child and the

child restraint is 65 lbs (29.5 kg). Use the seat belt and tether anchor instead of the
LATCH system once the combined weight is more than 65 lbs (29.5 kg).

The lower anchorages are round bars that are found at the rear of the seat cushion

where it meets the seatback. They are just visible when you lean into the rear seat to
install the child restraint. You will easily feel them if you run your finger along the gap
between the seatback and seat cushion.

In addition, there are tether strap anchors located behind each rear seatback, near

to the floor.

• If a child restraint installed in the center

position blocks the seat belt webbing or
buckle for the outboard position, do not
use that outboard position. If a child seat
in the center position blocks the outboard
LATCH anchors or seat belt, do not install
a child seat in that outboard position.
