Car Seat Confusion!

We bought a new vehicle!
It's a 2006 Suzuki Grand Vitara.
It's pretty.

We have had it for two days and I have yet to drive it -- and it's supposed to be mine.  We got a deal due to it having a manual transaction. I have no idea how to drive it yet. I am told it's easy. I lack coordination and have a very short attention span.

I have spent the last couple of hours online trying to figure out if I can use the LATCH system.

Being a used vehicle, we don't have the owners manual. Searching online has turned up nothing.  Not even a youtube video or anything on our vehicle.

I have the cheap Cosco convertible car seat from Walmart for Freedom. Well, it's not that exact print. It is three years old after all. We did have a Britax Husky car seat left over from Brye. In the process of moving, I lost the piece that snaps over the chest.  I have also lost all the manuals that came with the car seats.

I grasp the LATCH concept, and have a pretty good idea where to find it. My biggest confusion right now is do you use the LATCH part where it connects in the seat AND the top tether system? I can't find any pictures for our vehicle online. I've seen a few examples online, but I am still unclear if I need to use both.
