Note:For vehicles with adjustable headrestraints, route the tether strap under thehead restraint and between the headrestraint posts. Otherwise, route the tetherstrap over the top of the seat backrest.
2.Locate the correct anchor for theselected seating position. You mayneed to pull the seat backrest forwardto access the tether anchors. Make surethe seat is locked in the upright positionbefore installing the child restraint.
3.Clip the tether strap to the anchor.
4.Tighten the child restraint tether strapaccording to the manufacturer'sinstructions.
If you incorrectly clip the tether strap, thechild restraint may not be retained properlyin the event of a crash.
If you did not properly anchor the childrestraint, the risk of a child being injured ina crash greatly increases.
If your child restraint system has a tetherstrap, and the child restraint manufacturerrecommends its use, we also recommendits use.
ATTACHING THE REAR SEATTETHER STRAP (If Equipped)
Crew Cab and Super Cab
There are three loops of webbing abovethe back of the rear seat. Use these loopsas routing loops and anchor loops for upto three child restraint tether straps.
For example, you can use the center loopas a routing loop for a child restraint in thecenter rear seat and as an anchoring loopfor child restraints installed in theoutermost rear seats.
Many tether straps cannot be tightened ifthe tether strap is hooked to the loopdirectly behind the child restraint.
To provide a tight tether strap:
1.Route the vehicle tether loop betweenthe head restraint posts, then route thechild restraint tether strap through theloop, forward of the head restraint.
2.Hook the strap to the vehicle tetheranchor loop in the adjacent seatingposition. If using the driver side, passthe strap behind the shoulder belt forthe center seat. Put the tether strapthrough the routing loop. The headrestraint support post holds the childrestraint tightly, but the head restraintpost is not strong enough to hold thechild restraint during a crash.
3.Tighten the tether strap according tothe child restraint manufacturer'sinstructions.
