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 ” FP152 .
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 five lower anchorages ( bars ) ( U . S . -spec . models ) four lower anchorages ( bars ) ( Canadaspec . models ) and three upper anchorages ( tether anchorages ) for accommodating such child restraint systems .
