Child Restraint Systems
. When installing a child restraint system using LATCH anchors with the rear seatbelt fastened, ensure that the rear seatbelt does not become caught in the child restraint system or the lower LATCH anchorages. |
The lower and tether anchorages are sometimes referred to as the LATCH system( Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren). |

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” FP157.
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.
Your vehicle is equipped with 5 lower anchorages( U. S.-spec. models), 4 lower anchorages( other models) and 3 tether anchorages for accommodating such child restraint systems.

WARNING
Do not connect two or more lower hooks onto the same anchorage( bar).
There are a total of 5 lower anchorages at the rear seat. The second lower anchorage from the right side is used for both the right seat and center seat. Each lower anchorage is located where the seat cushion meets the seatback.
