CHILD TETHER ANCHOR
DESCRIPTION
All vehicles are equipped with fixed-position, child
seat tether anchors. Vehicles manufactured for sale
in North America have two stamped steel child
tether anchor brackets, one secured with a screw to
each outboard end of the inner liftgate opening
header at the rear of the passenger compartment
(Fig. 10). These child tether anchors are concealed
behind a removable molded plastic cap that snaps
into a bezel located in the headliner over each anchorbracket position. Vehicles manufactured for sale in
Rest-Of-World (ROW) markets have two anchors that
are integral to the back of the right rear seat back
panel, and one that is integral to the left rear seat
back panel (Fig. 11). The North American child seat

vice replacement. The ROW child seat tether anchors
cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if faulty or dam-
aged, they must be replaced as a unit with the rear
seat back panel.
