Child seat anchors – LATCH type
This vehicle is equipped with two LATCH
(L
ower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren)
type anchors (at each of the rear seats) for
the installation of a LATCH-type child seat
with matching mounting fittings.
Depending on vehicle production date,
your vehicle is equipped with either
LATCH-type design A or B.
i
Your cabriolet does not have and is not
required to have anchorage rings for a
child seat’s top tether strap in the rear
seating positions. Child seats can be
used with the seat belt, or lower anchor
system and seat belt, fully in accor-
dance with the child seat manufactur-
er’s instructions.
Warning! G
Children too big for a toddler restraint must
ride in seats using regular seat belts.
Position shoulder belt across chest and
shoulder, not face or neck.
A booster seat may be necessary to achieve
proper belt positioning for children from
41 lbs until they reach a height where a
lap/shoulder belt fits properly without a
booster.
Install child seat according to manufactur-
er’s instructions.
The child seat must be firmly attached in the
right and left side anchor 2.
An incorrectly mounted child seat may come
loose during an accident which could result
in serious injury or death to the child.
Damaged or impact damaged child seats or
child seat anchor fittings must be replaced.
Do not leave children unattended in the
vehicle, even if the children are secured in a
child restraint system.
i
The child seat must be firmly attached
in the right and left side anchor 2.

Non-LATCH type child seats may also
be used and can be installed using the
vehicle’s seat belt system (
page 69).
Install child seat according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
