The rear seating positions have lower anchorages that are
capable of accommodating LATCH-compatible child
seats having flexible, webbing-mounted lower attach-
ments. Child seats with fixed lower attachments must be
installed in the outboard positions only. Regardless of the
specific type of lower attachment, NEVER install
LATCH-compatible child seats such that two seats share
a common lower anchorage.

If you are installing LATCH-compatible child restraints
in adjacent rear seating positions, you can use the
LATCH anchors or the vehicle’s seat belt for the outboard
position, but you must use the vehicle’s seat belt at the
center position. If your child restraints are not LATCH-
compatible, you can only install the child restraints using
the vehicle’s seat belts. Please refer to the next section for
typical installation instructions.

Installing the LATCH-Compatible Child Restraint
System
We urge you to carefully follow the directions of the
manufacturer when installing your child restraint. Not all
child restraint systems will be installed as described here.
Again, carefully follow the installation instructions that
were provided with the child restraint system.

The rear seat lower anchorages are round bars,
located at the rear of the seat cushion where it
meets the seatback, and are 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 intersection of the seatback and seat cushion
surfaces.
