WARNING!
• In a collision, an unrestrained child, even a tiny baby, can become a projectileinside the vehicle. The force required to hold even an infant on your lap could
become so great that you could not hold the child, no matter how strong you are.
The child and others could be severely injured or killed. Any child riding in your
vehicle should be in a proper restraint for the child's size.
• Improper installation of a child restraint to the LATCH anchorages can lead to
failure of an infant or child restraint. The child could be severely injured or killed.
Follow the manufacturer’s directions exactly when installing an infant or child
restraint.
• An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to increased head motion and
possible injury to the child. Use only the anchor positions directly behind the child
seat to secure a child restraint top tether strap.
• Rearward-facing child seats must never be used in the front seat of a vehicle with
a front passenger air bag. An air bag deployment could cause severe injury or death
to infants in this position.
INSTALLING CHILD RESTRAINT TETHER ANCHOR
Child restraints having tether straps and hooks for connection to tether anchors have been
available for some time. In fact, many child restraint manufacturers will provide add-on
tether-strap kits for some of their older products. There is a tether strap anchor located
behind the child tether access cover behind the passenger seat.
To attach a child restraint tether strap:
1. Move the seat-bottom forward.
2. Move the seatback to its full forward position.
3. Remove the child tether access cover by prying either side with a screwdriver or similar
tool, as shown.

NOTE:
While the child tether is in use, keep the
access cover in a safe place so that it can be
replaced after use of the child tether.
4.
Pass the child restraint tether hook
through either opening in the seatback
underneath the head restraint.
5.Attach the tether hook to the anchor loop.
6.Move the seat to its farthest rearward
position. Apply body pressure to the seat
to be sure the seat adjusters have latched.
7. Return the seatback to an upright position.
8. Install the child restraint according to the manufacturer's directions.
9. Remove slack from the tether strap according to the child restraint manufacturer's directions.
WARNING!
An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to increased head motion and possible
injury to the child. Use only the anchor position directly behind the child seat to secure
a child restraint top tether strap.
