Some child restraint systems require the
use of a top tether strap. Top tether anchor-
age brackets are provided in your vehicle at
the locations shown in the illustrations.
The number of the top tether anchorage
brackets provided in your vehicle depends
on the vehicle specification. Install the child
restraint system as follows:
1) If you can adjust the position of head
restraint, raise the head restraint to the
most upper position.
2) Secure the child restraint on the rear
seat using the procedure described
above for securing a restraint system
that does not require a top tether strap.
3) Open the cover that is marked with the
top tether anchorage bracket symbol to
access the top tether anchorage
bracket. Close the cover when not
using the top tether anchorage bracket.
4) Hook the top tether strap to the top
tether anchorage bracket and tighten
the top tether strap according to the
instructions provided by the child
restraint system manufacturer. Attach
the top tether strap to the correspond-
ing top tether anchorage bracket
located directly behind the child
restraint. Do not attach the top tether
strap to the luggage restraint loops (if
equipped).
CAUTION
If you can adjust the position of rear
head restraint, adjust the height of
the rear head restraint or remove it
for fitting the child restraint, as nec-
essary. However, if a booster cushion
not equipped with the head restraint
is fitted, the rear seat head restraint
should not be removed. If the rear
head restraint is removed for fitting
the child restraint, you need to install
it again after removing the child
restraint.
If the child restraint is fitted improp-
erly, a child sitting in it could be
injured in a crash.
