Not all child restraint systems will be installed as we
have described here. Again, carefully follow the instruc-
tions that come with the child restraint system.
WARNING!
Improper installation of a child restraint to the
LATCH anchorages can lead to failure of an infant or
child restraint. The child could be badly injured or
killed. Follow the manufacturer’s directions exactly
when installing an infant or child restraint.
Installing The LATCH-Compatible Child Restraint
System
Each vehicle, except commercial cargo vehicles,
is equipped with the child restraint anchorage
system called LATCH, which stands for Lower
Anchors and Tether for CHildren. Two LATCH child
restraint anchorage systems are installed on all second-
row seats and in the center position on all third row
fold-in-floor seats. Second-row seats also feature tether
strap anchorages, located in the rear surface of the
seatback. In addition, all third row fold-in-floor seats are
equipped with a child restraint tether anchor at the center
seating position.
NOTE:
•
When using the LATCH attaching system to install a
child restraint, please ensure that all seat belts not
being used for occupant restraints are stowed and out
of reach of children. It is recommended that before
installing the child restraint, buckle the seat belt so the
seat belt is tucked behind the child restraint and out of
reach. If the buckled seat belt interferes with the child
restraint installation, instead of tucking the seat belt
behind the child restraint, route the seat belt through
the child restraint belt path and then buckle it. This
should stow the seat belt out of the reach of an
inquisitive child. Remind all children in the vehicle
