CHILD RESTRAINT ANCHOR
DESCRIPTION
This model 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 rear seats in these models are equipped
with a fixed-position child restraint upper tether anchor (2) for both the center and the two outboard seating posi-
tions, and child restraint lower anchors (1) for the two outboard seating positions only.
The three upper tether anchors (1) are integral to the
rear seat back panels. One anchor is integral to the
back of the right rear panel, and two are integral to
the left rear panel. These anchors are each con-
structed from short lengths of heavy-gauge steel wire
that is securely welded into stamped steel cups that
are integral to the seat back panels. There is a sepa-
rate molded plastic trim bezel located around each of
the three anchors. These child restraint upper tether
anchors cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if faulty
or damaged, they must be replaced as a unit with
their respective rear seat back panels.
