Securing a Child Restraint System
seat with “Tether Anchor” system
ORG3EV031039N
First secure the child restraint with
the LATCH lower anchors or the seat
belt. If the child restraint manufacturer
recommends that the top tether strap
be attached, attach and tighten the
top tether strap to the top tether strap
anchor.
Child restraint hook holders are located
on the rear of the seatbacks.
WARNING
Take the following precautions when
installing the tether strap:
ś Read and follow all installation
instructions provided with your child
restraint system.
ś NEVER attach more than one child
restraint to a single tether anchor.
This could cause the anchor or
attachment to come loose or break.
ś Do not attach the tether strap to
anything other than the correct
tether anchor. It may not work
properly if attached to something
else.
ś Do not use the tether anchors for
adult seat belts or harnesses, or for
attaching other items or equipment
to the vehicle.

To install the tether anchor:
1. Route the Child Restraint System

seatback. Make sure the strap is not
twisted.
2. Connect the tether strap hook to
the tether anchor, then tighten the
top-tether strap according to the
instructions of your Child Restraint
System’s manufacturer to firmly
attach the Child Restraint System to
the seat.
