Description

DESCRIPTION





This vehicle is equipped with a Lower Anchors and Tether for Children, or LATCH child restraint anchorage system. The LATCH system provides for the installation of suitable child restraints in certain seating positions without using the standard equipment seat belt provided for that seating position. The second seat in these models is equipped with a fixed-position child restraint upper tether anchor and child restraint lower anchors. The third seat is equipped with only a fixed-position child restraint upper tether anchor.

There are two lower anchors for each rear second row seating position. These anchors are welded to the seat cushion frame. They are each accessed from the front of their respective seats, at each side where the seat back meets the seat cushion. These lower anchors cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the seat must be replaced as a unit. If any of these are damaged during an impact event, the affected seat component (seat back or seat cushion) must be replaced. They are not serviceable.





Each second row seating position has a child restraint upper tether anchor as well. It is located in the middle of the seat cushion in the rear of the seat.





The left third row seating position has an integral upper tether anchor in the middle rear seat back.

WARNING: During, and following, any child restraint anchor service, due to impact event or vehicle repair, carefully inspect all mounting hardware, tether straps and anchors for proper installation, operation, or damage. If a child restraint anchor is found damaged in any way, the anchor must be replaced with the seat assembly. Failure to do so could result in personal injury.
