Tether Straps at the Rear Passenger Seat (Crew Cab)
• Route the child restraint tether strap over the seatback and under the head
restraint (for outboard seating position only) and through the anchor strap outer
loop (webbing material loop) located directly behind the child restraint.
• Connect the tether strap hook to the
anchor strap inner metal ring in the
ADJACENT seating position.
• Remove the slack in the tether strap
so that both anchor straps are pulled
tight.
NOTE: Two anchors must be used for any of the three seating positions.
1. Inner Anchor Strap Ring(s)
2. Snap Hook
3. Tether Strap
4. Passenger's Side Rear Child Seat
5. Rear Center Child Seat
6. Driver's Side Rear Child Seat
Installing The Child Restraint Using The Vehicle Seat Belts
• To install a child restraint, first, pull enough of the seat belt webbing from the
retractor to route it through the belt path of the child restraint and slide the latch
plate into the buckle.
• Next, extract all the seat belt webbing out of the retractor and then allow the
belt to retract into the retractor. Finally, pull on any excess webbing to tighten
the lap portion around the child restraint. Any seat belt system will loosen with
time, so check the belt occasionally, and pull it tight if necessary.
• Once you have completed securing the child restraint with the seat belt, secure
the top tether strap as described on the previous pages.
