straps yet.
3. Place a child restraint on the center
rear seat. Route the tether strap fol-
lowing the directions for the center
seating position, above.
4. Attach the hook to the outboard tether
strap loop.
5. Tighten the tether straps according to
the child seat manufacturer’s instruc-
tions, tightening the right and left
tether straps before the center tether
strap.
Installing The Child Restraint Using The
Vehicle Seat Belts
• To install a child restraint, first, pull
enough of the seat belt webbing from
the retractor to route it through the belt
path of the child restraint and slide the
latch plate into the buckle.
• Next, extract all the seat belt webbing
out of the retractor and then allow the
belt to retract into the retractor. Fi-
nally, pull on any excess webbing to
tighten the lap portion around the
child restraint. Any seat belt system
will loosen with time, so check the belt occasionally, and pull it tight if necessary.
