Installation of Child Restraint with
Top Tether
84MM20203
Some child restraint systems require the
use of a top tether strap. Top tether
anchorage brackets are provided in your
vehicle at the locations shown in the illus-
trations. The number of the top tether
anchorage brackets provided in your vehi-
cle depends on the vehicle specification.
Install the child restraint system as follows:
1) Remove the luggage compartment
cover (if equipped).
2) Secure the child restraint on the rear
seat using the procedure described
above for securing a restraint system
that does not require a top tether strap.
3) Hook the top tether strap to the top
tether anchorage bracket and tighten
the top tether strap according to the
instructions provided by the child
restraint system manufacturer. Be sure
to attach the top tether strap to the cor-
responding top tether anchorage
bracket located directly behind the child
restraint. Do not attach the top tether
strap to the luggage restraint loops (if
equipped).
WARNING
Do not attach the child restraint top
tether strap to the luggage restraint
loops (if equipped). Incorrectly
attached top tether strap will reduce
the intended effectiveness of the
child restraint system.
