Vehicle Information
Vehicle Child Restraint Anchorage System (LATCH)
• LATCH stands for Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children.
This term refers to the anchors built into a vehicle for
attaching child restraints and consists of two lower anchors
at the crease between the vehicle seat back and vehicle
seat cushion and a top tether anchor behind the vehicle
seat as shown in Figure 29.
• 2003 or newer model year vehicles have at least two
seating locations with a LATCH Anchorage System.
Some 2001 and 2002 model year vehicles have LATCH
Anchorage Systems. 2000 model year vehicles or older
DO NOT have LATCH Anchorage Systems. See your
vehicle owner’s manual if you are unsure if your vehicle is
equipped with a LATCH Anchorage System.
• See your vehicle owner’s manual for seating positions
which can be used with LATCH.
• If not readily visible, the LATCH lower anchors may be
noted by a symbol located near the crease between the
vehicle seat back and vehicle seat cushion, as shown in
Figure 30.
• If covered, the LATCH top tether anchor locations may be
identied by a symbol as shown in Figure 31.
