Child Restraint Tether Anchor
Regular Cab models have two tether anchorages, one
behind each passenger seating position (front center and
right seat positions). Club Cab and Quad Cab models
have three anchorages, one behind each of the rear seat
positions (rear left, center, and right seat positions).
WARNING!
With a child restraint installed in the rear driver or
passenger side locations, use care when adjusting
the front seat(s) rearward, to avoid the front seat
back coming in contact with the belted child directly
behind the seat. The child could be injured.
WARNING!
Improper installation can lead to failure of an infant
or child restraint. It could come loose in a collision.
The child could be seriously injured or killed. Make
sure the child restraint tether strap is always routed
through the proper anchor strap inner loop.
Tether Straps at the Front Passenger’s Seat (Regular
Cab With All Seats)
1. Route the child restraint tether strap up and over the
passenger seat back.
2. Thread the tether strap through the anchor strap inner
loop (loop with metal ring), located directly behind the
passenger’s seat.
3. Route the tether strap across to the anchor strap
installed in the center, and attach the tether strap hook to
the anchor strap metal ring.
