To install your child seat with a LATCH
restraint system, slide the child seat until it
engages onto the anchor bars.
Once the LATCH child seat is installed, test
the security of the installation, before
seating a child. Attempt to twist the child
seat from side to side and to pull it away
from the vehicle seat, then check that the
anchors are still securely in place.
UPPER TETHER STRAP
ANCHORAGES
WARNING: Always check the upper
tether strap for damage or wear and
tear. A child could be seriously injured or
killed in a sudden stop or collision if the
child restraint upper tether strap is
damaged or not functioning properly.
Upper tether anchorages are provided at
each seating position equipped to accept
LATCH child restraints.
Note: Always ensure that if an upper tether
is provided, it is secured and tightened
properly, as this provides maximum
protection for a child.
Anchor points for the upper LATCH child
restraints are located behind the rear seat
headrests.
Note: Due to the restricted access in the
rear of your vehicle, the easiest way to
actually view the upper anchorage point is
by standing outside the vehicle and looking
through the rear window.
