When installing in the rear center seat
There are no lower anchorages behind the rear center seat.
However, the inboard lower anchorages of the outboard seats, which are 15.7
in. (400 mm) apart, can be used if the child restraint system manufacturer' s
instructions permit use of those anchorages with the anchorage spacing stated.
Child restraint systems with rigid lower attachments cannot be installed in the
center seat. This type of child restraint system can only be installed in the outboard
seat.

WARNING
■
When installing a child restraint system
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
● Firmly attach the top strap and make sure that the belt is not twisted.
● Do not attach the top strap to anything other than the top tether anchorages.
After securing a child restraint system, never adjust the seat.
●
● Follow all installation instructions provided by the child restraint system manufacturer.
● Outboard rear seats: When installing the child restraint system with the head restraint
being raised, after the head restraint has been raised and then the top tether anchor-
age has been fixed, do not lower the head restraint.
● Rear center seat: When installing the child restraint system with the head restraint
being lowered, be sure to have the top tether anchorage pass over the top of the head
restraint. If the belt passes below the head restraint, it is possible that the child restraint
system may not be securely fixed.
Fixing the top tether strap to the anchor bracket
Top tether anchorages are provided for each rear seat.
Use top tether anchorages when fixing the top strap.
Install the child restraint system in accordance to the operation manual enclosed
with the child restraint system.
Latch the hook onto the top tether anchorages and tighten the top strap.
Make sure the top tether strap is securely latched.
