Using ISOFIX/LATCH Lower Child Seat Anchors

Location of ISOFIX/LATCH Anchors
Symbols on the seat back upholstery mark the ISOFIX/LATCH anchor positions as shown. To access the anchors, kneel on the seat cushion and locate the anchors by feel. Always follow your child seat manufacturer's installation instructions, and use both ISOFIX/LATCH lower anchors and top tethers whenever possible.
Accessing the Anchors
- Place the child restraint in position.
- Kneel on the child restraint to press down the seat cushion and locate the anchors by feel.
- Fasten the attachment on the child restraint's lower straps to the ISOFIX/LATCH lower anchors.
- 4. Firmly tension the lower child seat straps according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- The rear center seat is not equipped with ISOFIX/LATCH lower tether anchors. If a child restraint is used in this seat, attach the restraint's upper anchor strap (if equipped with these) to the top tether anchor point for this strap and secure the child restraint with the vehicle's center seat belt.
- Always follow your child seat manufacturer's installation instructions, and use both ISOFIX/LATCH lower anchors and top tethers whenever possible.

Correctly attach the child restraint to the ISOFIX/LATCH lower anchors.
- Be sure to fasten the attachment correctly to the anchor (see the illustration). If the attachment is not correctly fastened, the child restraint may not be properly secured in the event of a collision.
- The ISOFIX/LATCH lower child restraint anchors are only intended for use with child seats positioned in the outboard seating positions. These anchors are not certified for use with any child restraint that is positioned in the center seating position. When securing a child restraint in the center seating position, use only the vehicle's center seat belt.
