• Loosen the child seat adjusters on the lowerstraps and tether straps so that you can
attach the hook or connector to the lower
and tether anchorages more easily.
• Attach the lower hooks or connectors over the top of the seat cover material.
• Then rotate the tether anchorage cover directly behind the seat where you are placing the child restrain and attach the tether strap to the anchorage, being careful to route the tether strap to
provide the most direct path between the anchor and the child restrain.
• Tighten all three straps as you push the childrestraint rearward and downward into the
seat.
• For center seating position route the tether strap over the seatback and adjustable
headrest (with the headrest in the full down
position) then attach the hook to the tether
anchor located in the panel between the rear
seatback and the rear window.
Installing The Child Restraint Using The Vehicle Seat Belts
• To install a child restraint, first, pull enough of the seat belt webbing from the retractor to route
it through the belt path of the child restraint and slide the latch plate into the buckle.
• Next, extract all the seat belt webbing out of the retractor and then allow the belt to retract into the retractor. Finally, pull on any excess webbing to tighten the lap portion around the child
restraint. Any seat belt system will loosen with time, so check the belt occasionally, and pull it
tight if necessary.
• Rotate the cover over the anchor directly behind the seat where you are placing the child restraint. These tether strap anchorages are under a plastic cover.
• Route the tether strap to provide the most direct path for the strap between the anchor and the child seat.
• Attach the tether strap hook of the child restraint to the anchor and remove slack in the tether strap according to the child restraint manufacturer’s instructions.
