Lower Anchors and Tethers for
CHildren (LATCH) SYSTEM
Your vehicle is equipped with special
anchor points that are used with LATCH
system compatible child restraints. This
system may also be referred to as the
ISOFIX or ISOFIX compatible system. With
this system, you do not have to use a
vehicle seat belt to secure the child
restraint unless the combined weight of
the child and child restraint exceeds 65
lbs (29.5 kg). If the combined weight of the
child and child restraint is greater than 65
lbs (29.5 kg), use the vehicle’s seat belt
(not the lower anchors) to install the child
restraint. Be sure to follow the childrestraint manufacturer’s instructions for
installation.
The LATCH anchor points can be used to
install child restraints in either of the rear
outboard seating positions or in the
center rear seating position. Please refer
to the following section of this Owner’s
Manual for specific information about
installing a child restraint in the center
rear seating position using the LATCH
anchors.
CAUTION
Store the loose LATCH covers (for
example, in the console box) where
they will not get damaged to avoid
losing them. (See “Console box” (P.2-
75).)

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use and in-
stallation of child restraints could
result in serious injury or death of a
child or other passengers in a sud-
den stop or collision:

.Only attach LATCH system com-
patible child restraints to the
Lower Anchors shown in the illus-
tration. For additional informa-
tion, refer to the following
sections of this Owner’s Manual
for installation guidance.
. Attach LATCH system compatible
child restraints only at the loca-
tions shown in the illustration.
. Inspect the lower anchors by in-
serting your fingers into the low-
er anchor area. Feel to make sure
there are no obstructions over
the anchors such as seat belt
webbing or seat cushion material.
The child restraint will not be
secured properly if the lower
anchors are obstructed.
. Child restraint anchorages are
designed to withstand only those
loads imposed by correctly fitted
child restraints. Under no circum-
stances are they to be used to
attach adult seat belts, or other
items or equipment to the vehi-
cle. Doing so could damage the
child restraint anchorages. The
child restraint will not be properly
installed using the damaged an-
chorage, and a child could be
seriously injured or killed in a collision.
LATCH lower anchor location
The LATCH lower anchor points are
provided to install child restraints in the
rear seats.
Do not attempt to install child
restraints in the center and left out-
board seating positions simultaneously
using the LATCH lower anchors.
WAB0109XLATCH lower anchor cover removal
The LATCH lower anchor points are
