To Install A Child Seat Using A Cinching Latch Plate:

3. Slide the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a “click.”
4. Finally, pull up on any excess webbing to tighten the lap portion around the child restraint
while you push the child restraint rearward and downward into the vehicle seat.

Installing The Top Tether Strap (With The Lower Anchors Or The
Vehicle Seat Belt):
• When installing a forward-facing child restraint, the top tether strap should always be secured,
up to the tether anchor weight limit, whether the child restraint is installed with the lower
anchors or the vehicle seat belt.
1. If lowered, raise the convertible top. The convertible top must be in the UP position to access
the tether anchor.
2. Open the access port cover behind the seat where you are placing the child restraint.
3. Push the tether strap and hook through the access port and down into the trunk. Route the
tether strap to provide the most direct path from the child seat to the anchor.
4. From inside the trunk, open the access cover on the carpet covering the back of the seat and
attach the tether strap hook to the anchor.
5. Remove slack in the tether strap according to the child restraint manufacturer’s instructions.
