1Installing a LATCH-Compatible Child Seat

Installing a LATCH-compatible child seat in the

rear center seat

Each outer rear seat is equipped with a pair of lower

anchors which are used to secure a LATCH-

compatible child seat. The rear center seat, however,

is not equipped with anchors of any kind.

The inner and outer anchors are spaced apart at a

standard distance of 11 inches (280 mm). The

distance between the two inner anchors is 15.7

inches (400 mm).

LATCH-compatible restraint systems that are fitted

with rigid-type attachments cannot be installed in the

rear center seat. However, a system fitted with

flexible-type attachments can be installed in the

center seat, provided that the manufacturer’s

instructions for that system permit the use of the

inner anchors with the stated spacing.

Before seating a child, make sure that the system is

properly attached to both the lower anchors and

tether anchors.

WARNING

Do not use the lower inner anchors of the

outer rear seats to secure a LATCH-

compatible child seat to the rear center

seat, unless the manufacturer’s instructions

for that system permit the use of inner

anchors with the stated spacing.
