Installing The Top Tether Strap (With Either Lower Anchors Or Vehicle
Seat Belt):
When installing a forward-facing child restraint, always secure the top tether strap,
up to the tether anchor weight limit, whether the child restraint is installed with the
lower anchors or the vehicle seat belt.
Tether Anchorage Installation
1. Route the tether strap to provide the most direct path for the strap between the
anchor and the child seat.
2. 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.
3. Attach the tether strap hook of the
child restraint to the top tether an-
chorage and remove slack in the
tether strap according to the child
restraint manufacturer’s instructions.
WARNING!
Securely lock the seat cushion into position before using the seat. Otherwise, the
seat will not provide the proper stability for child seats and/or passengers. An im-
properly latched seat cushion could cause serious injury.

WARNING!
• In a collision, an unrestrained child, even a tiny baby, can become a projec-
tile inside 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.
• 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.
• Only use a rearward-facing child restraint in a vehicle with a rear seat.
• 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.
• If your vehicle is equipped with a split rear seat, make sure the tether strap
does not slip into the opening between the seatbacks as you remove slack
in the strap.
HEAD RESTRAINTS
Head restraints are designed to reduce the risk of injury by restricting head move-
ment in the event of a rear-impact. Head restraints should be adjusted so that the
top of the head restraint is located above the top of your ear.
WARNING!
The head restraints for all occupants must be properly adjusted prior to operating
the vehicle or occupying a seat. Head restraints should never be adjusted while
the vehicle is in motion. Driving a vehicle with the head restraints improperly ad-
justed or removed could cause serious injury or death in the event of a collision.
Rear Head Restraints
To raise the head restraint, pull upward on the head restraint. To lower the head
restraint, push the adjustment button, located at the base of the head restraint, and
push downward on the head restraint. Refer to “Occupant Restraints” in “Things To
Know Before Starting Your Vehicle” in your Owner’s Manual on the DVD for further
information on tether routing.
