GETTING STARTED
Installing Child Restraints Using The Top Tether Anchorage:
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.
3. Attach the tether strap hook of the child restraint to the top tether anchorage as
shown in the diagram.
4. Remove slack in the tether strap accord-
ing to the child restraint manufacturer' s
instructions.
