Securing a Child Restraint System
seat with “Tether Anchor” system
OJK031024N
First secure the child restraint with the
LATCH lower anchors or the seat belt. If
the child restraint manufacturer
recommends that the top tether strap be
attached, attach and tighten the top
tether strap to the top tether strap
anchor.
Child restraint hook holders are located
on the rear of the seatbacks.
OJK030023
To install the tether anchor:
1. Route the Child Restraint System
top-tether strap over the seatback.
Route the tether strap under the head
restraint and between the head
restraint posts, or route the tether strap
over the top of the vehicle seatback.
Make sure the strap is not twisted.
2. Connect the tether strap hook to the
tether anchor, then tighten the
top-tether strap according to the
instructions of your Child Restraint
System’s manufacturer to firmly attach
the Child Restraint System to the seat.
3. Check that the Child Restraint System
is securely attached to the seat by
pushing and pulling the seat
forward-and-back and side-to-side.
WARNING
Take the following precautions when
installing the tether strap:
• Read and follow all installation
instructions provided with your Child
Restraint System.
• NEVER attach more than one Child
Restraint System to a single tether
anchor. This could cause the anchor or
attachment to come loose or break.
• Do not attach the tether strap to
anything other than the correct
top-tether anchor. It may not work
properly if attached to something else.
• Child Restraint System anchors are
designed to withstand only those loads
imposed by correctly fitted Child
Restraint System.
Do not use them for adult seat belts,
harnesses, or for attaching other items
or equipment to the vehicle.
