Installing child restraint LATCH
anchor attachments
LATCH compatible child restraints include two
rigid or webbing-mounted attachments that can
be connected to two anchors located at certain
seating positions in your vehicle. With this
system, you do not have to use a vehicle seat
belt to secure the child restraint. Check your
child restraint for a label stating that it is
compatible with LATCH. This information may
also be in the instructions provided by the child
restraint manufacturer.
LATCH child restraints generally require the use
of a top tether strap. (See “TOP TETHER STRAP
CHILD RESTRAINT” later in this section for in-
stallation instructions.)
When installing a child restraint, carefully read
and follow the instructions in this manual and
those supplied with the child restraint. (See
“CHILD RESTRAINT INSTALLATION USING LATCH”
later in this section.)
TOP TETHER STRAP CHILD RESTRAINT
If the manufacturer of your child restraint re-
quires the use of a top tether strap, it must be
secured to an anchor point.
WARNING
●
Child restraint anchor points are designed to
withstand only those loads imposed by cor-
rectly fitted child restraints. Under no cir-
cumstances are they to be used for adult
seat belts or harnesses.
