Seating and Safety Restraints • 2nd row bench (60/40) • 3rd row bench Note: The cargo tie-downs at the rear edge of the floor are not tether anchors. For additional important safety information on the proper use of safety belts, child seats and infant seats, please read the entire Seating and safety restraints chapter in this owner's guide. Attaching safety seats with LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children) attachments for child seat anchors New child safety seats have two rigid or webbing mounted attachments that connect to two anchors at certain seating positions in your vehicle. This type of child seat eliminates the need to use safety belts to attach the child seat. For forward-facing child seats, the tether strap must also be attached to the proper tether anchor. See Attaching safety seats with tether straps in this chapter. 156 2005 Freestyle (219) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)
