LATCH system lower anchor locations - bench seat
Lower Anchors and Tethers for
CHildren (LATCH) SYSTEM
Your vehicle is equipped with special
anchor points that are used with the
LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for
CHildren) system compatible child re-
straints. This system may also be referred
to as the ISOFIX or ISOFIX compatible
system. With this system, you do not have
to use a vehicle seat belt to secure the
child restraint unless the combined
weight of the child and child restraint
exceeds 65 lbs (29.5 kg). If the combined
weight of the child and child restraint is
greater than 65 lbs (29.5 kg), use the
vehicle’s seat belt (not the lower anchors)
to install the child restraint. Be sure to
follow the child restraint manufacturer’s
instructions for installation.
The LATCH lower anchor points are
provided to install child restraints in the
following positions only:
. 2nd row captain’s seats (if so
equipped)
. 2nd row bench seat outboard posi-
tions only (if so equipped)

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use and in-
stallation of child restraints could
result in serious injury or death of a
child or other passengers in a sud-
den stop or collision:
. Attach LATCH system compatible
child restraints only at the loca-
tions shown in the illustration.
. Do not secure a child restraint in
the center rear seating position
using the LATCH lower anchors.
The child restraint will not be
secured properly.
. Inspect the lower anchors by in-
serting your fingers into the low-
er anchor area. Feel to make sure
there are no obstructions over
the anchors such as seat belt
webbing or seat cushion material.
The child restraint will not be
secured properly if the lower
anchors are obstructed.
Child restraint anchorages are de-
signed to withstand only those loads
imposed by correctly fitted child
restraints. Under no circumstances
are they to be used to attach adult
seat belts, or other items or equip-
ment to the vehicle. Doing so could
damage the child restraint an-
chorages. The child restraint will not
be properly installed using the da-
maged anchorage, and a child could
be seriously injured or killed in a
collision.
LATCH lower anchor location
The LATCH lower anchor points are
provided to install child restraints in the
rear outboard seating positions only. Do
not attempt to install a child restraint in
the center seating position using the
LATCH lower anchors.
