Child Seat Tether Attachment: Description and Operation
Child Safety Seat Tether Anchors
The child safety seat tether anchors are attached to the parcel shelf sheet metal.
LATCH
The LATCH system is a standardized and uniform attachment system for installing child safety seats in passenger vehicles. LATCH-equipped child
safety seats have lower attachments that connect to the vehicle portion of the LATCH system.
The vehicle portion of the system consists of attachment points (6-mm wires) at outboard second row seating positions. The attachment points
protrude from the biteline between the seat cushion and seat backrest.
If a child safety seat was in use during a collision, inspect the vehicle portion of the system for damage. If any of the attachment points (6-mm wires)
are damaged, a new one must be installed.
The child safety seat tether anchors and LATCH system is a structural member of the seat frame and floor pan beneath the rear seat cushion.
