Safety features of your vehicle
Child restraint hook holders are
located on the shelf behind the rear
seats.
WARNING
Take the following precautions
when installing the tether strap:
• Read and follow all installation
instructions provided with your
child restraint system.
• NEVER attach more than one child
restraint to a single tether anchor.
This could cause the anchor or
attachment to come loose or
break.
• Do not attach the tether strap to
anything other than the correct
tether anchor. It may not work
properly if attached to something
else.
• Do not use the tether anchors for
adult seat belts or harnesses, or
for attaching other items or
equipment to the vehicle.
• Always fasten the seat belts
behind the child restraint seat
when they are not used to secure
the child seat. Failure to do so
may result in child strangulation.
