Installing a Child Seat with a
Tether

A child seat with a tether can be
installed in either back seat, using
one of the anchor points shown
above.

Since a tether can provide additional
security to the lap/shoulder belt
installation, we recommend using a
tether whenever one is required or
available.

1. After securing the child seat in the

desired position (see page 46),
remove the head restraint (see
page 85), then route the tether
strap over the top of the seat-back.

2. Slide the anchor cover open as

shown.

3. Attach the tether strap hook to the

anchor, making sure the strap is
not twisted.

4. Tighten the strap according to the

seat maker's instructions. Make
sure the removed head restraint is
secured in the cargo area. Reinstall
the head restraint in place when
you remove the child seat.
