188 SAFETY
8. If the child restraint has a top tether strap
and the seating position has a top tether
anchorage, connect the tether strap to the
anchorage and tighten the tether strap. See
the section “Installing Child Restraints
Using the Top Tether Anchorage” for direc
-
tions to attach a tether anchor.
9. T
est that the child restraint is installed
ti
ghtly by pulling back and forth on the child
seat at the belt path. It should not move
more than 1
inch (25.4 mm) in any direc-
tion.
Any seat belt system will loosen with time, so
c
he
ck the belt occasionally, and pull it tight if
necessary.
Installing Child Restraints Using The Top
Tether Anchorage
The Top Tether anchorages are located behind
each rear seating position. To attach the tether
strap of the child restraint:
1. Place the child restraint on the seat and
ad
just the tether strap so that it will reach
over the seat back, under the head
restraint and to the tether anchor directly
behind the seat.
2. Release the seat back by pulling the release
st
rap located on the top of the seat back to
provide room to reach the tether anchor.
3. Route the tether strap to provide the most
di
rect path between the anchorage and the
child seat. The tether strap should go
between the head restraint posts under
-
neath the head restraint. You may need to
adj
ust the head restraint (if adjustable) to
the upward position to pass the tether strap
underneath the head restraint and between
its posts.
4. Attach the hook to the wire anchorage on
th
e cab back wall (inside the opening
labeled with the tether anchorage symbol.)
WARNING!
Do not attach a tether strap for a rear-facing
car seat to any location in front of the car
seat, including the seat frame or a tether
anchorage. Only attach the tether strap of a
rear-facing car seat to the tether anchorage
that is approved for that seating position,
located behind the top of the vehicle seat.
See the section “Lower Anchors and Tethers
for CHildren (LATCH) Restraint System” for the
location of approved tether anchorages in
your vehicle.
