Cadillac XT5 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/Mexico-
12146119) - 2019 - crc - 3/27/18
96 SEATS AND RESTRAINTS
Wherever a child restraint is installed,
be sure to follow the instructions that
came with the child restraint and
secure the child restraint properly.
Keep in mind that an unsecured child
restraint can move around in a
collision or sudden stop and injure
people in the vehicle. Be sure to
properly secure any child restraint in
the vehicle — even when no child is
in it.
Lower Anchors and
Tethers for Children
(LATCH System)
The LATCH system secures a child
restraint during driving or in a crash.
LATCH attachments on the child
restraint are used to attach the child
restraint to the anchors in the vehicle.
This system is designed to make
installation of a child restraint easier.
In order to use the LATCH system in
your vehicle, you need a child
restraint that has LATCH
attachments. LATCH-compatible
rear-facing and forward-facing child
seats can be properly installed using
either the LATCH anchors or the
vehicle’s seat belts. Do not use both
the seat belts and the LATCH
anchorage system to secure a
rear-facing or forward-facing
child seat.
Booster seats use the vehicle’s seat
belts to secure the child and the
booster seat. If the manufacturer
recommends that the booster seat be
secured with the LATCH system, this
can be done as long as the booster
seat can be positioned properly and
there is no interference with the
proper positioning of the lap-shoulder
belt on the child.
Make sure to follow the instructions
that came with the child restraint, and
also the instructions in this manual.
When installing a child restraint with
a top tether, you must also use either
the lower anchors or the seat belts to
properly secure the child restraint.
A child restraint must never be
installed using only the top tether and
anchor.
The LATCH anchorage system can be
used until the combined weight of the
child plus the child restraint is
29.5 kg (65 lbs). Use the seat belt alone
instead of the LATCH anchorage
system once the combined weight is
more than 29.5 kg (65 lbs).
See Securing Child Restraints (With the
Seat Belt in the Rear Seat) 0 101 or
Securing Child Restraints (With the Seat
Belt in the Front Seat) 0 103.
Child restraints built after March 2014
will be labeled with the specific child
weight up to which the LATCH system
can be used to install the restraint.
The following explains how to attach
a child restraint with these
attachments in the vehicle.
Not all vehicle seating positions have
lower anchors. In this case, the seat
belt must be used (with top tether
where available) to secure the child
restraint.

Seat Belt in the Rear Seat) 0 101 or

Belt in the Front Seat) 0 103.
