SAFETY 301
Installing Child Restraints Using The Top Tether
Anchorage
1. Look behind the seating position where you plan to install
the chi ld restraint to find the tether anchorage. You may
need to move the seat forward to provide better access to
the tether anchorage. If there is no top tether anchorage for
that seating position, move the child restraint to another
position in the vehicle if one is available.
2. Route the tether strap to provide the most direct path for
the str
ap between the anchor and the child seat. If your
vehicle is equipped with adjustable rear head restraints,
raise the head restraint, and where possible, route the
tether strap under the head restraint and between the two
posts. If not possible, lower the head restraint and pass
the tether strap around the outboard side of the head
restraint.
WARNING!
Do not attach a tether strap for a rear-facing car seat to
any locati
on 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.
