Using Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren (LATCH)

WARNING: Never attach two child safety seats to the same

anchor. In a crash, one anchor may not be strong enough to hold

two child safety seat attachments and may break, causing serious injury

or death.

WARNING: Depending on where you secure a child restraint,

and depending on the child restraint design, you may block

access to certain safety belt buckle assemblies or LATCH lower

anchors, rendering those features potentially unusable. To avoid risk of

injury, occupants should only use seating positions where they are able

to be properly restrained.

The LATCH system is composed of three vehicle anchor points: two

lower anchors located where seat back and seat cushion meet (called the

seat bight) and one top tether anchor located behind that seating

position.

LATCH compatible child safety seats have two rigid or webbing mounted

attachments that connect to the two lower anchors at the LATCH

equipped seating positions in your vehicle. This type of attachment

method eliminates the need to use safety belts to attach the child seat,

however the safety belt can still be used to attach the child seat. For

forward-facing child seats, the top tether strap must also be attached to

the proper top tether anchor, if a top tether strap has been provided

with your child seat.

Your vehicle has LATCH lower

anchors for child seat installation at

the seating positions marked with

the child seat symbol.
