Lower Anchors and Tether for
Children (LATCH System)
The LATCH system holds a Child Restraint
System during driving and in an accident.
This system is designed to make
installation of the Child Restraint System
easier and reduce the possibility of
improperly installing your Child Restraint
System. The LATCH system uses anchors
in the vehicle and attachments on the
Child Restraint System. The LATCH
system eliminates the need to use seat
belts to secure the Child Restraint System
to the rear seats.
Lower anchors are metal bars built into
the vehicle. There are two lower anchors
for each LATCH seating position that will
accommodate a Child Restraint System
with lower attachments.
To use the LATCH system in your vehicle,
you must have a Child Restraint System
with LATCH attachments.
The Child Restraint System manufacturer
will provide you with instructions on how
to use the Child Restraint System with its
attachments for the LATCH lower
anchors.

LATCH anchors have been provided in the
left and right outboard rear seating
positions. Their locations are shown in the
illustration.
There are no LATCH anchors provided for
the center rear seating position.
WARNING
Do not attempt to install a Child Restraint
System using LATCH anchors in the rear
center seating position. There are no
LATCH anchors provided for this seat.
Using the outboard seat anchors can
damage the anchors which may break or
fail in a collision resulting in serious injury
or death.

[A] Lower Anchor Position Indicator
[B] Lower Anchor
The lower anchor position indicator
symbols are located on the left and right
rear seat backs to identify the position of
the lower anchors in your vehicle (see
arrows in illustration).
The LATCH anchors are located between
the seatback and the seat cushion of the
rear seat left and right outboard seating
positions.
WARNING
Before installing the Child Restraint
System, make sure that there are no
objects (for example, toy, pen, wire)
around the lower anchor area. Those
objects may damage either the seat belt
system or the Child Restraint System
during the installment procedure. If
necessary, have the vehicle inspected by
an authorized retailer of Genesis Branded
products.
