Lower Anchor position indicator
The LATCH anchors are located
between the seatback and the seat
cushion of the rear seat left and right
outboard seating positions.
To use the lower anchor, push the upper
portion of the lower anchor cover.
Securing a child restraint with the
LATCH anchors system
To install a LATCH-compatible child
restraint in either of the rear outboard
seating positions:
1. Move the seat belt buckle away from
the lower anchors. Otherwise, the
webbing or buckle can be damaged
by the latch anchor, which can make
them become unusable or unsafe.
2. Move any other objects away from
the anchors that could prevent a
secure connection between the child
restraint and the lower anchors.
3. Place the child restraint on the vehicle
seat, then attach the seat to the lower
anchors according to the instructions
provided by the child restraint manu
-
facturer.
4. Follow the child restraint manufac
-
turer’s instructions for properly
adjusting and tightening the lower
attachments on the child restraint to
the lower anchors.
Take the following precautions when
using the LATCH system:
僅 Read and follow all installation
instructions provided with your Child
Restraint System.
僅 To prevent a child from playing with
unused seat belts, buckle all unused
rear seat belts before the child is
placed into the vehicle. Lock each
unused seatbelt following the instruc
-
tions in the "automatic locking mode"
subsection, and place the webbing
behind the child seat or against an
unused seatback. Children can be
strangled if a shoulder belt becomes
wrapped around their neck and the
seat belt tightens.
僅 NEVER attach more than one child
restraint to a single anchor. This could
cause the anchor or attachment to
come loose or break.
僅 Always have the LATCH system
inspected by your authorized Kia
dealer after an accident. An accident
can damage the LATCH system and
may not properly secure the child
restraint.
