11. Ford recommends checking with a NHTSA Certified Child Passenger

Safety Technician (CPST) to make certain the child restraint is properly

installed.

Attaching child safety seats with LATCH

(Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) attachments

The LATCH system is composed of three vehicle anchor points: two (2)

lower anchors located where the vehicle seat back and seat cushion meet

(called the “seat bight”) and one (1) 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.See Attaching child safety seats with tether straps

and Recommendations for attaching safety restraints for children in

this chapter for more information.

Your vehicle has LATCH lower anchors for child seat installation at the

seating positions marked with the child seat symbol.
