Seating and Safety Restraints Your vehicle has LATCH lower anchors for child seat installation at the seating positions marked with the child seat symbol. The LATCH anchors are located at the rear section of the rear seat between the cushion and seatback, below the locator symbols on the seat back. Follow the child seat manufacturer's instructions to properly install a child seat with LATCH attachments. Follow the instructions on attaching child safety seats with tether straps. Refer to Attaching child safety seats with tether straps later in this chapter. Attach LATCH lower attachments of the child seat only to the anchors shown. All the LATCH lower anchors are equally spaced, 280 mm (11 inches) apart, so that a single LATCH child seat can be installed at any rear seating position. If two child safety seats are installed using the LATCH lower anchors, they must be placed in the outboard seating positions only. If three child safety seats are installed, you can install two using the LATCH lower anchors by placing them in each outboard seating position and the third in the center using the lap/shoulder belt, OR you can use the LATCH lower anchors for the center child safety seat and the lap/shoulder belts for the other two child safety seats in the outboard positions. Use the tether anchors if applicable. 163 2009 Sable (mgo) Owners Guide, 2nd Printing USA (fus)
