SEAT, SEATBELT AND SRS AIRBAGS 79
NOTE
The seatbelt warning system of the rear seats detects if any of the seats are occupied by a passenger. Installing a child restraint system in the rear seating area, using the LATCH anchors, may result in the activation of the passenger seatbelt warning light and chime. Fastening the rear seatbelt prior to installing the child restraint system will avoid activating the passenger seatbelt warning light and chime. For details, refer to“ Rear passenger’ s seats” FP177.
Some types of child restraint systems can be installed on the rear seat of your vehicle without use of the seatbelts. Such child restraint systems are secured to the dedicated anchorages provided on the vehicle body.
The lower and tether anchorages are sometimes referred to as the LATCH system( Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren).
