Where is the ISOFIX interface on the 9th generation Accord?

In the rear seats, between the gaps under the seat. More details are as follows: 1. Description of the ISOFIX interface: There are two interfaces at the connection between the car seat backrest and the seat cushion, which are the ISOFIX interfaces. This is a rigid connection method to prevent seat flipping during a collision. Some seats also come with support legs and other anti-flip devices in addition to the ISOFIX interface. 2. Function: The ISOFIX interface can securely connect a child car safety seat to the car, providing a simpler and safer way to install the car seat. Installing a seat using ISOFIX is easier than using a seat belt and can effectively reduce the risk of incorrect installation, significantly lowering the chances of improper installation. 3. Fixation methods: In addition to the ISOFIX interface fixation method, there are also the American standard LATCH fixation method and the seat belt fixation method. The location of the LATCH interface varies depending on the car model. For sedans, it is usually behind the rear seat headrest, while for hatchbacks, it is typically on the back of the rear seat. The LATCH fixation method is also simple, adding a hook to the ISOFIX method. After fixing it using the ISOFIX method, the hook is then secured. In the truest sense, the most secure and safest method is the LATCH interface combined with the ISOFIX interface installation.
When driving the 9th-generation Accord, I noticed the ISOFIX anchors are hidden at the junction between the rear seat back and cushion, with one near each door. These anchors might normally be covered by the seat cushion, so you'll need to slightly lift the cushion to reveal the metal hooks when installing a child seat. Remember to check that these anchor points are clean and undamaged to ensure secure installation. The Accord's design in this generation is quite user-friendly, with small pictogram labels indicating the locations. After installation, give the seat a firm shake to confirm stability. If you can't locate them, refer to the detailed diagrams in the owner's manual. Never forget to check the anchor security before driving - child safety is absolutely non-negotiable when it comes to travel.
