Second Row Bench Seats and Third
Row Seats
E287313
Perform the following steps to install a
child restraint with tether anchors:
Note: If you install a child restraint with rigid
LATCH attachments, do not tighten the
tether strap enough to lift the child restraint
off your vehicle seat cushion when the child
is seated in it. Keep the tether strap just snug
without lifting the front of the child restraint.
Keeping the child restraint just touching your
vehicle seat gives the best protection in a
severe crash.
For second row outermost seating
positions, route the child restraint tether
strap over the seat backrest, under the
head restraint and between the head
restraint posts. If needed, remove the head
restraint to improve the fit of the child
restraint or tether strap.
For the second row center seating position,
route the child restraint tether strap over
the top of the head restraint. If needed,
remove the head restraint to improve the
fit of the child restraint or tether strap. See
Head Restraints (page 141).
For third row seating positions, route the
child restraint tether strap over the seat
backrest, under the head restraint and
between the head restraint posts. If
needed, fold the head restraint down to
improve the fit of the child restraint or
tether strap. See Head Restraints (page
141).
1. Route the tether strap.
2. Locate the correct anchor for the
selected seating position.
3. Clip the tether strap to the anchor as
shown. The tether hook may be
twisted ½ turn to improve installation.
If you clip the tether strap incorrectly,
the child restraint may not be retained
properly in the event of a crash.
E190833
4. Tighten the child restraint tether strap
according to the manufacturer's
instructions.
If you do not properly anchor the child
restraint, the risk of injury to a child
increases greatly in a crash.
If your child restraint system has a tether
strap, and the child restraint manufacturer
recommends its use, we also recommend
its use.
