Tether Anchorage Locations
There are tether strap anchorages behind each rear
seating position located on the back of the seat. To
access them, pull the carpeted floor panel away from
the seat back, this will expose the top tether strap
anchorages.
LATCH-compatible child restraint systems will be
equipped with a rigid bar or a flexible strap on each
side. Each will have a hook or connector to attach to
the lower anchorage and a way to tighten the connec-
tion to the anchorage. Forward-facing child restraints
and some rear-facing child restraints will also be
equipped with a tether strap. The tether strap will have
a hook at the end to attach to the top tether anchorage
and a way to tighten the strap after it is attached to the
anchorage.
