ATTACHING SAFETY SEATS WITH LATCH (LOWER ANCHORS
AND TETHERS FOR CHILDREN) ATTACHMENTS FOR CHILD SEAT
ANCHORS (IF EQUIPPED)
Some 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 seat belts to attach the
child seat. For forward-facing child seats, the tether strap must also be
attached to the proper tether anchor. SeeAttaching safety seats with
tether strapsin this chapter.
Your vehicle may be equipped with LATCH anchors for child seat
installation at the following seating positions:
Connectors on the LATCH child seat
and the child seat instructions may
use the symbol shown here. Your
vehicle seat may have plain buttons,
instead of this symbol, to indicate the location of the LATCH lower
anchors.
The lower anchors for child seat
installation are located at the rear
section of the seat between the
cushion and seat back. The LATCH
anchors are below the locator
buttons (if provided) on the seat
back.
Place the passenger seat back in its upright position. Slide the passenger
seat rearward to its rearmost position. Place the passenger seat back it
its rearmost recline position.
Follow the child seat manufacturer’s instructions to properly install a
child seat with LATCH attachments.
Once child seat is attached, rotate the passenger seat back forward to its
most allowable upright locked position.
