Child Seat Tether Attachment: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION
The Lower Anchors and Tether for Children, or LATCH child restraint anchorage system provides for the installation of suitable child restraints in
certain seating positions without using the seat belt provided for that seating position. The second row seats are equipped with a fixed-position child
restraint upper tether anchor for all three seating positions.
There are child restraint lower anchors for both outboard seating positions in the second row. The left lower anchors are permanently mounted on the
second row seat hinge, along with the right outboard lower anchor. The right inboard lower anchor is mounted on a bracket mounted to the seat floor
pan. These anchors are constructed from a heavy-gauge steel wire loop. They are each accessed from the front of their respective seats, at each side
where the seat back meets the seat cushion. These lower anchors cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the entire mounting assembly
must be replaced, either the right inboard bracket or seat hinge(s).
