Installing Child Restraints Using The Top Tether
Anchorage
1.Look behind the seating position where you
plan to install the child restraint to find the
tether anchorage. You may need to move the
seat forward to provide better access to the
tether anchorage. If there is no top tether anchorage for that
seating position (see the charts above), move the child
restraint to another position in the vehicle if one is avail-
able.
2. Rotate or lift the cover to access the anchor directly behind the seat where you are placing the child
restraint.
3. Route the tether strap to provide the most direct path for the strap between the anchor and the child seat. If
your vehicle is equipped with adjustable rear head restraints, raise the head restraint, and where possible,
route the tether strap under the head restraint and
between the two posts. If not possible, lower the head
restraint and pass the tether strap around the outboard
side of the head restraint.
