Installing Child Restraints Using The Top Tether Anchorage
WARNING!
Do not attach a tether strap for a rear-facing car seat to any location in front of the
car seat, including the seat frame or a tether anchorage
.
Only attach the tether strap of
a rear-facing car seat to the tether anchorage that is approved for that seating position,
located behind the top of the vehicle seat
.
See the section “Lower Anchors and Tethers
for CHildren (LATCH) Restraint System” for the location of approved tether anchor-
ages in your vehicle
.
1
.
Look behind the seating position where you plan to install the child restraint to find
the tether anchorage
.
You may need to move the seat forward to provide better ac-
cess to the tether anchorage
.
If there is no top tether anchorage for that seating posi-
tion, move the child restraint to another position in the vehicle if one is available
.
2
.
Route the tether strap to provide the most direct path for the strap between the
anchor and the child seat
.
If your vehicle is equipped with adjustable rear head re-
straints, raise the head restraint, and where possible, route the tether strap under the
head restraint and between the two posts
.
If not possible, lower the head restraint
and pass the tether strap around the outboard side of the head restraint
.

.
Attach the tether strap hook of the child restraint to the top tether anchorage as
shown in the diagram
