Installing The Top Tether Strap (With Either Lower Anchors Or
Vehicle Seat Belt)
When installing a forward-facing child restraint, always secure the top tether strap,
up to the tether anchor weight limit, whether the child restraint is installed with the
lower anchors or the vehicle seat belt.
Tether Strap Installation
Regular Cab Trucks:
In the regular cab truck, the top tether anchorages are located behind the center and
right passenger seats. There is a plastic cover over each anchorage. To attach the
tether strap of the child restraint:
1. Place the child restraint on the seat
and adjust the tether strap so that it
will reach over the seat back, under
the head restraint and to the tether
anchor directly behind the seat.
2. Route the tether strap to provide the
most direct path between the anchor-
age and the child seat. The tether
strap should go between the head
restraint posts underneath the head
restraint. You may need to adjust the
head restraint to the upward position
to pass the tether strap underneath
the head restraint and between its
posts.
3. Lift the cover (if equipped) and attach the hook to the square opening in the sheet
metal. Tighten the tether strap according to the child seat manufacturer’s
instructions.
