Attaching Upper Tether Straps
Second and third row seats support the use of
upper tether straps. When the instructions
provided by the manufacturer of the child
restraint system include attaching an upper
tether strap, attach its hook to the anchor
point located behind the associated seat.
Note: Tighten upper tether straps according to
the instructions provided by the manufacturer
of the child restraint system.
The anchor points for tether straps are located
on the back of the second and third row seats.
For dual-strap tethers, position a strap on
each side of the head restraint.
Warning: When routing tether straps,
keep the strap close to the headrest as
illustrated below. On a Model X equipped
with third row seats, do not allow a tether
strap to cover the third row access button
on the rear shoulder of the seat.
Warning: USE ONLY SEAT BELT
RETAINED CHILD SAFETY SEATS IN THE
CENTER SEATING POSITION.

same side of the head restraint as the seat belt
retraction mechanism). In the center seating
position (if equipped), center and position the
strap over the top of the head restraint.
