A child seat with a tether can be
installed in any seating position in
the back seat, using one of the
anchorage points shown above.
Since a tether can provide additional
security to the lap/shoulder belt
installation, we recommend using a
tether whenever one is required or
available. (Tethers are required in
Canada.)Af ter securing the child seat in the
desired position (see page ), lif t
the head restraint, then route the
tether strap over the top of the
seat-back and through the head
restraint legs.Lif t the anchor point lid, then
attach the tether strap hook to the
anchorage point, making sure the
strap is not twisted.
Tighten the strap according to the
seat maker’s instructions.
