Owner`s manual

for the installation of the child restraint without using the

vehicle’s seat belts. The two rear seating positions have

lower anchorages that are capable of accommodating

LATCH-compatible child seats having flexible, webbing-

mounted lower attachments or fixed lower attachments.

Regardless of the specific type of lower attachment,

NEVER install LATCH-compatible child seats such that

two seats share a common lower anchorage. If you are

installing LATCH-compatible child restraints in adjacent

rear seating positions, you can use the LATCH anchors or

the vehicle’s seat belts. If your child restraints are not

LATCH-compatible, you can only install the child re-

straints using the vehicle’s seat belts. For typical instal-

lation instructions, refer to “Installing the LATCH-

Compatible Child Restraint System”.

Rear Seat LATCH Anchors

Child restraints systems having attachments designed to

connect to the lower anchorages are now available. Child

restraints having tether straps and hooks for connection

to the top tether anchorage, have been available for some

time. In fact, many child restraint manufacturers will

provide add-on tether strap kits for some of their older

products. Tether anchorage kits are also available for

most older vehicles.
