6. Before placing the child into the child seat, forcibly move the child
seat from side to side and forward to make sure that the seat is held
securely. If the child seat moves excessively, repeat steps 5 through 6, or
properly install the child seat in a different position.

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.

Some of the rear seats of your vehicle are equipped with built-in tether
strap anchors located behind the seats as described below.

In the third row center seating position, the tether anchor is a loop at
the bottom of the seatback.

The tether strap anchors in your vehicle are in the following positions
(shown from top view):
• Second row bench seat

• Second row bucket seats

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.
