Installing The Top Tether Strap (With Either Lower Anchors Or Vehicle Seat
Belt)
When installing a forward-facing child restraint, always secure the top tether strap, up to
the tether anchor weight limit, whether the child restraint is installed with the lower
anchors or the vehicle seat belt.
Tether Strap Installation
1. Rotate or lift the cover to access the anchor directly behind the seat where you are
placing the child restraint.
2. Route the tether strap to provide the most direct path for the strap between the anchor
and the child seat.
3. 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. Attach the tether strap hook of the child restraint to the top tether anchorage and
remove slack in the tether strap according to the child restraint manufacturer’ s
instructions.
Center Tether Attachment:
1. Lower the adjustable center head re-
straint to the full down position.
2. Route the tether strap over the seatback
and head restraint.
3. Attach the tether strap hook of the child
restraint to the center tether anchorage
located in the panel between the rear
seatback and the rear window .
4. Remove slack in the tether strap accord-
ing to the child restraint manufacturer’s
instructions.
