lower anchors, secure the child
restraint with the the safety
belts and top tether when

restraint manufacturer. Refer to
your child restraint
manufacturer instructions and
the instructions in this manual.

seating positions, if the head
restraint interferes with the

instructions and the following
steps:
2.1. Find the top tether anchor.
For models with a third
row seat, move the flipper
panel rearward to access
