Your vehicle’s rear seat is equipped with the child
restraint anchorage system called LATCH. The LATCH
systemprovidesfortheinstallationofthechildrestraint
without using the vehicle’s seat belts, instead securing
the child restraint using lower anchorages and upper
tether straps from the child restraint to the vehicle
structure.
NOTE:
When using the LATCH attaching system to
install a child restraint, please ensure that all seat belts

of reach of children. It is recommended that before
installing the child restraint, buckle the seat belt so the
seat belt is tucked behind the child restraint and out of
reach. If the buckled seat belt interferes with the child
restraint installation, instead of tucking the seat belt
behindthechildrestraint,routetheseatbeltthroughthe
