Seats and Restraints 3-35
Lower Anchors and
Tethers for Children
(LATCH System)
(Coupe and Convertible
Models Only)
Some child restraints have a
LATCH system. As part of the
LATCH system, your child restraint
may have lower attachments and/or
a top tether. The LATCH system can
help hold the child restraint in place
during driving or in a crash. Some
vehicles have lower and/or top
tether anchors designed to secure
a child restraint with lower
attachments and/or a top tether.
Some child restraints with a top
tether are designed to be used
whether the top tether is anchored
or not. Other child restraints require
that the top tether be anchored.
A national or local law may require
that the top tether be anchored.
In Canada, the law requires that
forward-facing child restraints
have a top tether, and that the
tether be attached.
Your vehicle does not have lower
anchors or top tether anchors to
secure a child restraint with the
LATCH system. If a national or local
law requires that your top tether
be anchored, do not use a child
restraint in this vehicle because a
top tether cannot be properly
anchored. You must use the safety
belts to secure your child restraint
in this vehicle, unless a national or
local law requires that the top tether
be anchored. Refer to the child
restraint instructions and
instructions in this manual for
securing a child restraint using the
vehicle's safety belts. See Securing
Child Restraints on page 3‑39.
Lower Anchors and
Tethers for Children
(LATCH System) (Z06 and
ZR1 Models Only)
Some child restraints have a
LATCH system. As part of the
LATCH system, your child restraint
may have lower attachments and/or
a top tether. The LATCH system can
help hold the child restraint in place
during driving or in a crash. Some
vehicles have lower and/or top
tether anchors designed to secure
a child restraint with lower
attachments and/or a top tether.
Your vehicle does not have lower
anchors to accommodate lower
attachments. Your vehicle does
have a top tether anchor. If your
child restraint has a top tether, make
sure your child restraint is properly
installed using the top tether anchor
and the vehicle's safety belt. A child
restraint must never be installed
using only the top tether and
anchor.
