Place the child seat on the vehicle
seat, then attach the seat to the

A child seat with a tether can be
installed in any seating position in
the back seat.
Each rear outside seating position
has an anchorage point on the seat-
back, and the center seating position
has an anchorage point in the ceiling
near the tailgate.
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. Attach
the tether strap hook to the
anchor, making sure the tether
strap is not twisted.
Tighten the strap according to the
seat maker’s instructions.
Reinstall the dual deck cargo shelf.
On vehicles with the dual deck
cargoshelf,removeit(seepage
).
Af ter properly securing the child
seat (see page ), remove the
head restraint, then route the
tether strap over the seat-back.
Make sure to store the removed
head restraint in the cargo area
and to reinstall it when the child
seat is removed.
