t General instructions
Some manufacturers make safety seats
that
include a
tether strap that goes over
the
back of the vehicle seat and attaches
to an anchoring point. Contact the child
seat
manufacturer for information
about
ordering a tether strap.
You can attach a tether strap anchor
bracket to the cab inner back panel by
using a tether anchor kit available at
no charge from any Authorized Mazda
Dealer.
A tethered seat can be installed in the
front seat. Put the tether strap over the
seatback and attach it to an anchor
bracket.
An
anchor bracket can be installed on the
rear edge of the front seat cushion. The
attaching hole is provided in the rear
edge
of the front passenger seat cushion
frame.
Read and carefully follow the instruc-
tions provided with the kit for installa-
tion of the child tether strap anchor.
Follow the child seat manufacturer’s
instructions to attach the tether strap to
the tether bracket.
