Installing The Top Tether Strap (With Either Lower Anchors Or Vehicle Seat Belt)
When installing a forward-facing child restraint, always secure the top tether strap,
up to the tether anchor weight limit, whether the child restraint is installed with the
lower anchors or the vehicle seat belt.
Tether Strap Installation
1. Route the tether strap to provide the
most direct path for the strap between
the anchor and the child seat.
2. If your vehicle is equipped with ad-
justable 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.
3. Attach the tether strap hook of the
child restraint to the top tether an-
chorage and remove slack in the
tether strap according to the child
restraint manufacturer’s instructions.
Installing Child Restraints In Commercial Vehicles
This commercial vehicle is not designed for use as a family vehicle and is not
intended for carrying children in the front passenger seat(s). Never install rear-facing
child restraints in this vehicle. If you must carry a child in a forward-facing child
restraint, the passenger seat should be moved to the full rearward position and the
child must be in a proper restraint system based on its age, size and weight. Follow
the instructions below to secure the child restraint using the seat belt.
WARNING!
Rear-facing infant restraints must never be secured in the passenger seat of a
vehicle with a passenger Air Bag. In a collision, a passenger Air Bag may deploy
causing severe injury or death to infants riding in rear-facing infant restraints.
