LATCH (LOWER ANCHORS AND

TETHERS FOR CHILDREN)

SYSTEM

WARNING

쐌 Attach LATCH system compatible

child restraints only at the locations

shown. If a child restraint is not se-

cured properly, your child could be

seriously injured or killed in an

accident.

쐌 Do not secure a child restraint in the

center rear seating position using the

child restraint lower anchors. The

child restraint will not be secured

properly.

쐌 The LATCH system anchors are de-

signed to withstand only those loads

imposed by correctly fitted child re-

straints. Under no circumstance are

they to be used for adult seat belts or

harnesses.

Some child restraints include two rigid or

webbing-mounted attachments that can be con-

nected to two anchors located at certain seating

positions in your vehicle. This system is known

as the LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for

CHildren) system. 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.

Your vehicle is equipped with special anchor

points that are used with LATCH system com-

patible child restraints. Check your child restraint

for a label stating that it is compatible with the

LATCH system. This information may also be in

the child restraint owner’s manual. If you have

such a child restraint, refer to the illustration for

the seating positions equipped with LATCH

system anchors which can be used to secure the

child restraint.

The LATCH system anchors are located at the

rear of the seat cushion near the seatback. A

label is attached to the seatback to help you

locate the LATCH system anchors.

Some child restraints may also require the use of

a top tether strap. See “Top tether strap child

restraint” later in this section for installation

instructions.

When installing a child restraint, carefully read

and follow the instructions in this manual and

those supplied with the child restraint.

When you install a LATCH system compatible

child restraint to the lower anchor attachments,

follow these steps.

WARNING

Inspect the lower anchors by inserting

your fingers into the lower anchor area

and feeling to make sure there are no

obstructions over the LATCH system an-

chors, such as seat belt webbing or seat

cushion material. If a seat belt buckle

hinders installation of the LATCH

system, remove the buckle from the

buckle fixing band of the seatback.

The child restraint will not be secured

properly if the LATCH system anchors

are obstructed.

1. To install the LATCH system compat-

ible child restraint, insert the child

restraint LATCH system anchor at-

tachments into the anchor points on

the rear. If the child restraint is

equipped with a top tether, see “Top

tether strap child restraint” later in

this section for installation instruc-

tions.

2. After attaching the child restraint and

before placing the child in it, use

force to tilt the child restraint from

side to side and tug it forward to

make sure that the child restraint is

securely held in place. It should not

move more than 25 mm (1 inch).

3. Check to make sure that the child

restraint is properly secured prior to

each use.
