Your vehicle has the LATCH system. There are anchors for the rear outside seating positions.

There is not room for three child restraints in the rear seat, but you can install two child restraints, one in each rear outside seat position. If you need to install two child restraints in the rear seat, see Where to Put the Restraint .

This system, designed to make installation of child restraints easier, does not use the vehicle's safety belts. Instead, it uses vehicle anchors and child restraint attachments to secure the restraints. Some restraints also use another vehicle anchor to secure a top tether strap.

In order to use the LATCH system in your vehicle, you need a child restraint designed for that system.

To assist you in locating the lower anchors for this child restraint system, each seating position with the LATCH system has a label on the seatback at each lower anchor position.

The labels are located near the base of the rear outside seating positions.

Your vehicle may have zippers over the lower anchor areas. If so, unzip the seat cover below the labels to access each lower anchor.

Caution: If a LATCH-type child restraint is not attached to its anchorage points, the restraint will not be able to protect the child correctly. In a crash, the child could be seriously injured or killed. Make sure that a LATCH-type child restraint is properly installed using the anchorage points, or use the vehicle's safety belts to secure the restraint, following the instructions that came with that restraint, and also the instructions in this manual.
