Child Seat Tether Attachment: Description and Operation
Child Seat Anchor - Description
DESCRIPTION
This vehicle is equipped with a Lower Anchors and Tether for CHildren, or LATCH child restraint anchorage system. The LATCH system provides for
the installation of suitable child restraints in certain seating positions without using the standard equipment seat belt provided for that seating position.
The second row seats in this vehicle are equipped with a fixed-position child restraint upper tether anchor (2) for both outboard seating positions as well
as the center position of vehicles so equipped, and child restraint lower anchors (1) for the two outboard seating positions only. On vehicles equipped
with a split bench third row seat there is also an upper tether anchor provided for the center seating position of that seat, but no lower anchors.
The upper tether anchors (3) are integral to the second row seat cushion frames. One anchor is integral to the cushion frame of the center seat section (2),
and one is integral to cushion frames of each outboard seat section (1). These anchors are each constructed from a heavy-gauge steel wire loop that is
securely welded to the seat cushion frame.
