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

it meets the seatback, below the anchorage symbols on 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 an-

chorages behind each rear seating position
located in the panel between the rear seat-
back and the rear window. These tether
strap anchorages are under a plastic cover
with the tether anchorage symbol on it.

• Do not install child restraints with rigid lower

attachments in the center seating position.
Only install this type of child restraint in the
outboard seating positions. Child restraints
with flexible, webbing mounted lower attach-
ments can be installed in any rear seating
position. In the center position, the inner
anchorages are 15.4 inches (392 mm) apart.

Installing The Child Restraint Using The LATCH Lower Anchors

NOTE:
Never
“share” a LATCH anchorage with two or more child restraints.

1. Loosen the adjusters on the lower straps and on the tether strap of the child seat so that you

can more easily attach the hooks or connectors to the vehicle anchorages.

2. Attach the lower hooks or connectors of the child restraint to the lower anchorages in the

selected seating position.

3. If the child restraint has a tether strap, connect it to the top tether anchorage. See below for

directions to attach a tether anchor.

4. Tighten all of the straps as you push the child restraint rearward and downward into the seat.

Remove slack in the straps according to the child restraint manufacturer’s instructions.

5. Test that the child restraint is installed tightly by pulling back and forth on the child seat at the

belt path. It should not move more than 1 inch (25.4 mm) in any direction.
