Installing LATCH Child Seats
Lower LATCH anchors are provided in the
second row outboard seats. The anchors are
located between the seat's back rest and rear
cushion. The exact location of each anchor is
identified by a child safety seat identification
button, illustrated below. The button is located
on the seat back, directly above its associated
anchor.
Install LATCH child safety seats in the
outboard seating positions only. Use only a
seat belt retained seat in the center position.
To install a LATCH child safety seat, slide the
safety seat latches onto the anchor bars until
they click into place. Carefully read and follow
the instructions provided by the child safety
seat manufacturer.
Once installed, test the security of the
installation before seating a child. Attempt to
twist the child safety seat from side to side
and try to pull it away from the seat, then
check that the anchors are still securely in
place.
Attaching Upper Tether Straps
If an upper tether strap is provided, attach its
hook to the anchor point located on the back
of the rear seats.
Always position single-strap tethers to run
over the top of the head support. For dual-
strap tethers, position a strap on each side of
the head support.
Tighten upper tether straps according to the
instructions provided by the manufacturer of
the child safety seat.
Note: To prevent the single-strap tether from
moving side to side, the top of the head
support deforms.
Note: The location of anchor points may not
be readily visible but can be found by
identifying a slice in the seat's material.
