Child Seat Tether Attachment: Description and Operation
Child Restraint Upper Tether/Anchor - 2nd Row
Child Restraint Lower Anchors Second Row
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 seat in these models are equipped with a fixed-position
child restraint upper tether anchor and child restraint lower anchors. The third seat is equipped with only a fixed-position child restraint upper tether
anchor in the middle seating position. Export vehicles are equipped with fixed-position child restraint upper tether anchors only.
The second row seats have lower anchors for each rear outboard seating position. These anchors are welded to the seat cushion frame. 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 seat must be replaced as a unit.
WARNING: DURING, AND FOLLOWING, ANY CHILD RESTRAINT ANCHOR SERVICE, DUE TO IMPACT EVENT OR VEHICLE
REPAIR, CAREFULLY INSPECT ALL MOUNTING HARDWARE, TETHER STRAPS AND ANCHORS FOR PROPER INSTALLATION,
OPERATION, OR DAMAGE. IF A CHILD RESTRAINT ANCHOR IS FOUND DAMAGED IN ANY WAY, THE ANCHOR MUST BE
REPLACED WITH THE SEAT ASSEMBLY. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
See the vehicle glove box for more information on the proper use of all of the factory-installed child restraint anchors.
