Lower Anchors and Tether for CHildren (LATCH)
Each vehicle, except commercial cargo vehicles, is
equipped with the child restraint anchorage system
called LATCH, which stands for Lower Anchors and
Tether for CHildren. Two LATCH child restraint anchor-
age systems are installed on all second-row seats and in
the center position on all 3rd row fold-in-floor seats.

are equipped with a child restraint tether anchor at the
center seating position.

head restraint posts. Except for bench seats with split
seatbacks, when the tether anchorage is used in the center
