Child Restraint Installation Using the Tether Anchor

First secure the child restraint with the LATCH lower anchors or the seat belt. If the child restraint manufacturer recommends using the top tether, attach and tighten the top tether strap to the tether anchor.

The child restraint hook holders are located on the packing tray.

WARNING

When installing the tether strap, observe the following precautions:

• Read and follow all installation instructions provided with your child restraint system.
• NEVER attach more than one child restraint to a single tether anchor. This may loosen or break the anchor or attachment.
• Do not attach the tether strap to anything other than the proper tether anchor. It may not function properly if connected to something else.
• Do not use tether anchors for adult seat belts or tether straps, or to attach other objects or equipment to the vehicle.

To install the tether anchor:

1. Route the child restraint tether strap over the seatback of the child restraint. Pass the tether strap under the head restraint and between the head restraint posts, or route the tether strap over the top of the vehicle seatback. Make sure the strap is not twisted.

2. Attach the tether hook to the tether anchor, then tighten the tether strap in accordance with the child restraint manufacturer's instructions to securely fasten the child restraint to the seat.

3. Make sure the child restraint is securely attached to the seat by pushing and pulling the seat forward, backward, and side to side.
