Re: New question
Child Restraint Anchors - The front passenger seat includes a LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tether for Children) child seat anchorage system. LATCH-compatible child seats are those engineered for retention by direct attachment to the vehicle’s seat structure rather than with the vehicle’s seat belts. The child seat’s lower anchors attach to the seat structure via heavy-gauge wire loops at the intersection of the seat cushion and seat back. The child seat’s upper tether strap attaches to a child seat tether anchor. Child seats can also be securely fastened in the passenger seat using the seat belts. For this purpose, the passenger seat belt includes a dual-mode SBT. After the child seat is positioned and the belt routed according to instructions for the child seat, the seat belt is pulled all the way out of the SBT to the end of its travel. This switches the SBT to the “Automatic Locking” mode. As the seat belt retracts, the SBT locks to prevent the belt from being pulled out again. Pulling the belt snugly over the child seat secures the seat in place. When the belt retracts fully after child seat removal, normal “Emergency Locking” action is restored to the SBT.
