Lower Anchors and Tethers for

Children (LATCH)

Your vehicle has the LATCH system. The LATCH

system holds a child restraint during driving or in a

crash. This system is designed to make installation

of a child restraint easier. The LATCH system uses

anchors in the vehicle and attachments on the

child restraint that are made for use with the

LATCH system

Make sure that a LATCH-compatible child restraint

is properly installed using the anchors, or use the

vehicle’s safety belts to secure the restraint, following

the instructions that came with that restraint, and

also the instructions in this manual. When installing a

child restraint with a top tether, you must also use

either the lower anchors or the safety belts to properly

secure the child restraint. A child restraint must never

be installed using only the top tether and anchor.

In order to use the LATCH system in your vehicle,

you need a child restraint equipped with LATCH

attachments. The child restraint manufacturer will

provide you with instructions on how to use the child

restraint and its attachments. The following explains

how to attach a child restraint with these attachments

in your vehicle.

Your vehicle has lower anchors and top tether anchors.

Your child restraint may have lower attachments and

a top tether.

Not all vehicle seating positions or child restraints have

lower anchors and attachments or top tether anchors

and attachments.

Lower Anchors

Lower anchors (A) are metal bars built into the vehicle.

There are two lower anchors for each LATCH seating

position that will accommodate a child restraint with

lower attachments (B).
