4.
Seats in the center position: Put the center head restraint to its lowest
position, then route the tether strap over the top of the head restraint
and secure the tether strap hook to the anchor. Make sure the strap is
not twisted.
Seats in the outer position (straight top tether type): Put the outer
head restraint to its uppermost position, then route the tether strap
between the head restraint legs, and secure the tether strap hook to
the anchor. Make sure the strap is not twisted.
Seats in the outer position (other top tether type): Put the outer
head restraint to its uppermost position, then route the tether strap
outside the head restraint legs, and secure the tether strap hook to the
anchor. Make sure the strap is not twisted.
5. Tighten the tether strap as instructed by the child seat manufacturer.
6. Make sure the child seat is firmly secured by rocking it forward and
back and side to side; little movement should be felt.
7. Make sure any unused seat belt that a child can reach is buckled, the
lockable retractor is activated, and the belt is fully retracted and
locked.
For your child’s safety, when using a child seat installed using the LATCH
system, make sure that the child seat is properly secured to the vehicle. A
child seat that is not properly secured will not adequately protect a child in
a crash and may cause injury to the child or other vehicle occupants.
Never attach two child seats to the same anchor.
In a collision, one anchor may not be strong enough to hold two child
seats attachments and may break, causing serious injury or death.
