Seats and Restraints
85
If the position you are
using has a fixed head
restraint and you are
using a dual tether, route
the tether around the
sides of the head
restraint.
3.4. Adjust the top tether to its
full length and attach the
top tether hook to the
anchor. Make sure that
you secure the top tether
to the top tether anchor
and not to the seatback
latch.
3.5. Push rearward on the
seatback until it locks into
its upright position. Push
and pull on the seatback
to make sure it is secured
properly.
4. Attach and tighten the lower
attachments to the lower
anchors. If the child restraint
does not have lower
attachments or the desired
seating position does not have
lower anchors, secure the child
restraint with the safety belts
and the top tether. Refer to
your child restraint
manufacturer instructions and
Securing Child Restraints (With
the Safety Belt in the Rear
Seat)
or
Restraints (With the Safety Belt
in the Front Seat)
.
5. Tighten the top tether.
6. Before placing a child in the
child restraint, make sure it is
securely held in place. To
check, grasp the child restraint
at the LATCH path and attempt
to move it side to side and
back and forth. There should
be no more than 2.5 cm (1 in) of
movement for proper
installation.
Extended Cab with Rear Seats
{
Warning
Never secure a rear-facing or
forward-facing child restraint in
the left rear seating position in an
extended cab model. This seating
position is not suitable for child
restraint installation. The seat
cushion is too short to properly
support a rear-facing or
forward-facing child restraint.
A child could be seriously injured
or killed in a sudden stop or
crash.
