Cadillac XT6 2023 Owner's Manual page 96

Not all vehicle seating
positions have lower anchors.
In this case, the seat belt must
be used (with top tether
where available) to secure
the child restraint. See
Securing Child Restraints
(With the Seat Belt in the Rear
Seat) 0 102 or
Securing Child Restraints
(With the Seat Belt in the
Front Seat) 0 104.
Lower Anchors
Lower anchors (1) are metal
bars built into the vehicle.
There are two lower anchors
for each LATCH seating
position that will
accommodate a child restraint
with lower attachments (2).
Top Tether Anchor
A top tether (3, 4) is used to
secure the top of the child
restraint to the vehicle. A top
tether anchor is built into the
vehicle. The top tether
attachment hook (2) on the
child restraint connects to the
top tether anchor in the
vehicle in order to reduce the
forward movement and
Seats and Restraints
rotation of the child restraint
during driving or in the event
of a crash.
The child restraint may have a
single tether (3) or a dual
tether (4). Either will have a
single attachment hook (2) to
secure the top tether to the
anchor.
Some child restraints with a
top tether are designed for
use with or without the top
tether being attached. Others
require the top tether always
to be attached. In Canada, the
law requires that
forward-facing child restraints
have a top tether, and that the
tether be attached. Be sure to
read and follow the
instructions for your child
restraint.
