How to Use the ISOFIX Lower Anchor (Mexico)/LATCH Lower Anchor (Except Mexico)

Installation on rear outboard seat

  1. First, adjust the front seat to allow clearance between the child-restraint system and the front seat.

    Refer to How to Use the Front Seats (Search).

  2. Make sure the seatback is securely latched by pushing it back until it is fully locked.

  3. Remove the cover of the child-restraint system's ISOFIX/LATCH*1 lower anchors to verify the locations of the ISOFIX/LATCH*1 lower anchors.

    • The ISOFIX/LATCH*1 lower anchors marking on the cover indicates the position of the ISOFIX/LATCH*1 lower anchors for the attachment of a child-restraint system.

  4. Remove the head restraint. However, when installing a backless booster seat, always install the vehicle head restraint to the seat where the backless booster seat is installed.

    Refer to How to Use the Head Restraints (Search).

  5. Secure the child-restraint system using BOTH ISOFIX/LATCH*1 lower anchors, following the child-restraint system manufacturer's instruction. Pull on the child-restraint to be sure both anchors are engaged.

  6. If your child-restraint system came equipped with a tether, that means it is very important to properly secure the tether for child safety. Please carefully follow the child-restraint system manufacturer's instructions when installing tethers.

Installation on rear center seat

The ISOFIX/LATCH*1 lower anchors at the center of the rear seat are much further apart than the sets of ISOFIX/LATCH*1 lower anchors for child-restraint system installation at other seating positions. Child-restraint systems with rigid ISOFIX/LATCH*1 attachments cannot be installed on the center seating position. Some ISOFIX/LATCH*1 equipped child-restraint systems can be placed in the center position and will reach the nearest ISOFIX/LATCH*1 lower anchors which are 415 mm (16.3 in) apart. ISOFIX/LATCH*1 compatible child-restraint systems (with attachments on belt webbing) can be used at this seating position only if the child-restraint system manufacturer's instructions state that the child-restraint system can be installed to ISOFIX/LATCH*1 lower anchors that are 415 mm (16.3 in) apart. Do not attach two child-restraint systems to the same ISOFIX/LATCH*1 lower anchor. If your child-restraint system has a tether, it must also be used for your child's optimum safety.

 

The procedure for installation on the rear outboard seats is the same.
