Third Row
The top tether anchors are on the rear of
the seatback for each seating position in the
third row. Be sure to use an anchor located
directly behind the seating position where
the child restraint will be placed.
For models with a cargo cover, the top
tether anchors are on the back of the rear
seatbacks. Remove the cargo cover before
installing the top tether. The cargo cover
should remain off while the top tether is in
use. Be sure to use an anchor directly
behind 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 0 67 for
additional information.
Securing a Child Restraint Designed for
the LATCH System
Warning
A child could be seriously injured or killed
in a crash if the child restraint is not
properly attached to the vehicle using
either the LATCH anchors or the vehicle
seat belt. Follow the instructions that
came with the child restraint and the
instructions in this manual.
Seats and Restraints
Warning
To reduce the risk of serious or fatal
injuries during a crash, do not attach
more than one child restraint to a single
anchor. Attaching more than one child
restraint to a single anchor could cause
the anchor or attachment to come loose
or even break during a crash. A child or
others could be injured.
Warning
Children can be seriously injured or
strangled if a shoulder belt is wrapped
around their neck. The shoulder belt can
tighten but cannot be loosened if it is
locked. The shoulder belt locks when it is
pulled all the way out of the retractor.
It unlocks when the shoulder belt is
allowed to go all the way back into the
retractor, but it cannot do this if it is
wrapped around a child s neck. If the
shoulder belt is locked and tightened
around a child s neck, the only way to
loosen the belt is to cut it.
