Top Tether Anchors
The top tether anchors for outboard
rear seating positions are located
under the covers, on the back of the
rear seatback. Be sure to use an
anchor located on the same side of
the vehicle as the seating position
where the child restraint will be
placed.
Do not secure a child restraint in a
position without a top tether anchor if
a national or local law requires that
the top tether be attached, or if the
instructions that come with the child
restraint say that the top tether must
be attached.
According to accident statistics,
children and infants are safer when
properly restrained in a child restraint
system or infant restraint system
secured in a rear seating position.
See Where to Put the Restraint (with
Airbag Off Switch) on page 2-46 for
additional information.

Securing a Child Restraint
Designed for the LATCH
System
{
WARNING
If a LATCH-type child restraint is
not attached to anchors, the child
restraint will not be able to protect
the child correctly. In a crash, the
child could be seriously injured or
killed. Install a LATCH-type child
restraint properly using the
anchors, or use the vehicle's
safety belts to secure the restraint,
following the instructions that
came with the child restraint and
the instructions in this manual.
