TETHER STRAP HOOK
Flexible type ANCHOR

A child seat with a tether can be
installed in any seating position in
the back seat, using one of the
an chorage points shown above.
Since a teth er can pro vide additional
security to the lap/shoulder belt
installation, we recommend using a
te ther whenever one is required or
available. Tighten the strap according to the
seat maker’s instructions.
Lift
the anchor cover, then attach
the tether strap hook to the
anchor, making sure the strap is
not twisted.
After
properly securing the child
seat (see page ), lift the head
restraint, then route the tether
strap through the head restraint
legs. After
properly securing the child
seat (see page ), route the
tether strap over the seat-back.
