G E T T I N G S TA R T E D Installing The LATCH-Compatible Child Restraint System • Your vehicle's second row passenger seats are equipped with the child restraint anchorage system called LATCH, which stands for Lower Anchors and Tether for CHildren. LATCH child restraint anchorage systems are installed at all three rear seating positions. • Both rear outboard seating positions and the rear center seating position have lower anchors and top tether anchors. • Child seats with flexible or fixed rigid attachments can be installed in all rear seating positions. Child seats can be installed using the LATCH system in either or both outboard seating positions or the center position, but not all three at the same time. If a child seat is installed in an outboard seating position using the lower anchors, then the vehicle seatbelt must be used for the center position. • Never install LATCH-compatible child seats such that two seats share a common lower anchorage. • The rear seat lower anchorages are round bars, located at the rear of the seat cushion where it meets the seatback. The rear seat lower anchors can be readily identified by the symbol located on the seatback directly above the anchorages and are just visible when you lean into the rear seat to install the child restraint. • In addition, there are tether strap anchorages behind each rear seating position located in the panel between the rear seatback and the rear window. These tether strap anchorages are under a plastic cover. • Loosen the child seat adjusters on the lower straps and tether straps so that you can attach the hook or connector to the lower and tether anchorages more easily. • Attach the lower hooks or connectors over the top of the seat cover material. • Then rotate the tether anchorage cover directly behind the seat where you are placing the child restraint and attach the tether strap to the anchorage, being careful to route the tether strap to provide the most direct path between the anchor and the child restraint. • Tighten all three straps as you push the child restraint rearward and downward into the seat. • For center seating position route the tether strap over the seatback and adjustable headrest (with the headrest in the full down position) then attach the hook to the tether anchor located in the panel between the rear seatback and the rear window. 15
