Attaching child safety seats with tether straps
Most new forward-facing child safety seats include a tether strap which goes
over the back of the seat and hooks to an anchoring point. Tether straps are
available as an accessory for many older safety seats. Contact the
manufacturer of your child seat for information about ordering a tether strap.
The rear seats of your vehicle are equipped with built-in tether strap
anchors located behind the seats and below the rear window behind the
speakers (coupe) or rearward of the seatback in the convertible top sling
(convertible).
The tether anchors in your vehicle are either located under a cover
marked with the child tether anchor symbol (shown with title) or are
under a tag marked with the child tether anchor symbol in the
convertible top sling.
The tether strap anchors in your vehicle are in the following positions
(shown from top view):
Attach the tether strap only
to the appropriate tether
anchor as shown. The tether strap
may not work properly if attached
somewhere other than the correct
tether anchor.
1. Position the child safety seat on the seat cushion.
2. Route the child safety seat tether strap over the back of the seat.
For vehicles with adjustable head restraints, route the tether strap under
the head restraint and between the head restraint posts, otherwise route
the tether strap over the top of the seatback.
3. Locate the correct anchor for the
selected seating position as shown
previously.
