Your vehicle is equipped with  
LATCH (Lower Anchors and  
Tethers for CHildren) at the rear  
seats to secure a child seat in any  
seating position: one in each outer  
seating position, or one in the center.  
The five lower anchors are located  
between the seat-back and seat  
bottom, and are to be used only with  
a child seat designed for use with  
LATCH.

outer lower anchors. You can install  
up to two child seats at a time using  
the outer lower anchors.

The location of each lower anchor is

connectors to a single lower anchor  
at a time.
