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 anchorages in
your vehicle.
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 seat-
backs as you remove slack in the strap.
