306 SAFETY
The Top Tether anchorages are located behind each rear
seating position. To attach the tether strap of the child
restraint:
1. Place the child restraint on the seat and adjust the
tether strap so that it will reach over the seat back,
under the head restraint and to the tether anchor
directly behind the seat.
2. Release the seat back by pulling the release strap
located on the top of the seat back to provide room to
reach the tether anchor.
3. Route the tether strap to provide the most direct path
between the anchorage and the child seat. The tether
strap should go between the head restraint posts
underneath the head restraint. You may need to
adjust the head restraint (if adjustable) to the upward
position to pass the tether strap underneath the head
restraint and between its posts.
4. Attach the hook to the wire anchorage on the cab
back wall (inside the opening labeled with the tether
anchorage symbol.)
5. Push the seat back rearward until the latch engages
and no red indicator is showing on the strap.
6. Tighten the tether strap according to the child seat
manufacturer's instructions.
Tether Anchorage Locations
WARNING!
 An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to
increased head motion and possible injury to the
child. Use only the anchorage position directly behind
the child seat to secure a child restraint top tether
strap.
 If your vehicle is equipped with a split rear seat,
make sure the tether strap does not slip into the
opening between the seatbacks as you remove slack
in the strap.
