Kia Stinger (CK) 2018-2023 Service Manual: Lower Anchors and Tether for Children (LATCH) System
The LATCH system holds a child restraint during driving and in an accident. This system is designed to make installation of the child restraint easier and reduce the possibility of improperly installing your child restraint. The LATCH system uses anchors in the vehicle and attachments on the child restraint. The LATCH system eliminates the need to use seat belts to secure the child restraint to the rear seats.First secure the child restraint with the LATCH lower anchors or the seat belt. If the child restraint manufacturer recommends that the top tether strap be attached, attach and tighten the top tether strap to the top tether strap anchor. Child restraint hook holders are located on the back of the rear seatbacks. WARNING Take the following precautions when installing the tether strap: Read and follow all installation instructions provided with your child restraint system.
