Occupant safety
Installing infant and child restraint
systems
This vehicle is equipped with tether an-
chorages for a top tether strap at each of
the rear seating positions.
1 Cover of top anchorage ring
왘 Bring the rear seat backrest to a fully
upright position (
컄 page 131).
왘 Open cover 1 to access anchorage
ring.
왘 Guide tether strap between head re-
straints and top of seat back.
Head restraint must be positioned such
that the top tether strap can pass freely
between the head restraint and top of
seat back.
왘 Make sure the tether strap is not
twisted.
2 Hook
3 Anchorage ring
왘 Securely fasten hook 2, which is part
of the tether strap, to anchorage
ring 3.
i For safety, please make sure the hook 2
has attached to the ring 3 beyond the safety
catch, as illustrated.
Once the top tether anchorage hook is
attached, the child restraint itself can be
secured. Tighten the top tether strap ac-
cording to the child restraint manufac-
turer’s instructions.
Warning! G
Infants and small children should never
share a seat belt with another occupant.
During an accident, they could be crushed
between the occupant and seat belt.
A child’s risk of serious or fatal injuries is
significantly increased if the child re-
straints are not properly secured in the ve-
hicle and the child is not properly secured
in the child restraint.
Children too big for child restraint systems
must ride in back seats using regular seat
belts. Position shoulder belt across chest
and shoulder, not face or neck. A booster
seat may be necessary to achieve proper
seat belt positioning for children over 41 lb
until they reach a height where a lap/
shoulder belt fits properly without a boost-
er.
When the child restraint is not in use, re-
move it from the vehicle or secure it with
the seat belt to prevent the child restraint
from becoming a projectile in the event of
an accident.
Do not leave children unattended in the
vehicle; even if the children are secured in
a child restraint system. Unsupervised chil-
dren in a child restraint system may use ve-
hicle equipment and may cause serious
personal injury.
