Seats and Restraints
. . . 164
For a forward-facing child
restraint, attach the top strap to
the top strap anchor.
• If the seat has an adjustable
head restraint and the child
restraint has a single top strap,
route the top strap under the
head restraint and between the
posts.
• If the seat has an adjustable
head restraint and the child
restraint has a dual top strap,
route the top straps around the
head restraint.
Consult the manufacturer's
instructions for the child restraint
to determine when and how to
tighten the top strap.
CAUTION
The top strap anchor brackets
are only designed to anchor
child restraint top straps.
Do not use the brackets to hold
safety belts, harnesses or any
other items or equipment.
CAUTION
An unsecured child restraint
may be tossed about the vehi-
cle in a collision or sudden stop.
You or your passengers could
be injured. Secure the child
restraint properly even if a child
is not using the restraint.

Section 2
Anchors for Child
Restraints with Lower
Attaching Points (If
equipped)
This system is designed to make
installation of child restraints
easier.
Use this system instead of the
vehicle’s safety belts to secure a
child restraint.
With this feature you will have
anchors where the seatback
meets the seat cushion in the
outboard rear seats.
CAUTION
If a child restraint is not
attached to its anchorage
points, the restraint will not be
able to protect a child sitting
there. In a crash, the child could
be seriously injured or killed.
Make sure that the child
restraint is properly installed
using the anchorage points, or
use the vehicle’s safety belts to
secure the restraint. Follow the
instructions that come with the
restraint.
