3. Route the tether strap to provide the most direct path forthe 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.
4. For the center seating position, route the tether strap over the seatback and headrest then attach the hook to
the tether anchor located on the back of the seat. 5. Attach the tether strap hook of the child restraint to the
top tether anchorage as shown in the diagram.
6. Remove slack in the tether strap according to the child restraint manufacturer ’s instructions.
WARNING!(Continued)
•An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to
increased head motion and possible injury to the
child. Use only the anchorage position directly be-
hind 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.
