SAFETYSAFETY
Adding Security with a Tether
A tether anchorage point is provided behind each rear seating position. 
Regardless of whether it is installed with LATCH or a seat belt, a child seat that 
comes with a tether should use the tether for additional security.
1. Locate the appropriate tether anchorage point
and lift the cover.
2. Raise the head restraint to its uppermost position,
then route the tether strap through the head
restraint legs. Make sure the strap is not twisted.
3. Secure the tether strap hook onto the anchor.
4. Tighten the tether strap according to the seat
maker’s instructions.

Protecting Larger Children
When a child is too big for a child seat, secure the child in a rear seat using the 
lap/shoulder seat belt.
Have the child sit upright and all the way back, then ensure the following:
• The child’s knees bend comfortably over the edge 
of the seat.
• 
The shoulder belt crosses between the child’s 
neck and arm.
• 
The lap part of the seat belt is as low as possible, 
touching the child’s thighs.
•  The child can stay seated for the whole trip.
If a lap/shoulder belt cannot be used properly, position the child in a booster seat 
in a rear seating position. For the child’s safety, check that the child meets the
booster seat manufacturer’s recommendations.
Some U.S. states and Canadian provinces/territories require children to use a 
booster seat until they reach a given age or weight (e.g., 6 years or 60 lbs). Be sure 
to check current laws in the state or province/territory where you intend to drive.
Allowing a child age 12 or under to sit in the front can result in injur\
y or death
if the passenger’s front airbag inflates.
If a larger child must ride in front, move the vehicle seat as far to the rear as 
possible, then have the child sit up properly and wear the seat belt properly, 
using a booster seat if needed.
