Installing a LATCH-compatible child seat in the
third row center seat
Each outer third row seat is equipped with a pair of
lower anchors which are used to secure a LATCH-
compatible child seat. The third row center seat,
however, is not equipped with anchors of any kind.
The inner and outer anchors are spaced apart at a
standard distance of 11 inches (280 mm). The
distance between the two inner anchors is 16.0
inches (406.2 mm).
LATCH-compatible restraint systems that are fitted
with rigid-type attachments cannot be installed in the
third row center seat. However, a system fitted with
flexible-type attachments can be installed in the third
row center seat, provided that the manufacturer’s
instructions for that system permit the use of the
inner anchors with the stated spacing.
Before seating a child, make sure that the system is
properly attached to both the lower anchors and
tether anchors.
3WARNING
Do not use the lower inner anchors of the
outer third row seats to secure a LATCH-
compatible child seat to the third row
center seat, unless the manufacturer’s
instructions for that system permit the use
of inner anchors with the stated spacing.
