GETTING STARTED
• Second-row seats also feature tether strap anchorages, located in the rear surface
of the seatback.
• In addition, all third row fold-in-floor seats are equipped with a child restraint
tether anchor at the center seating position.
Installing The Lower Attachments:
• The vehicle lower anchorages are round bars located at the rear of the seat cushion
where it meets the seatback.
• Attach the lower child restraint attachment straps to the vehicle's lower anchor
bars. Ensure that the lower attachment strap is firmly engaged and that the hook is
secure.
• Tighten the lower attachment strap while firmly pushing the child restraint
rearward and downward into the vehicle seat. Remove all slack in the lower
attachment straps.
Installing The Top Tether Strap (With Either Lower Anchors Or Vehicle Seat Belt):
• Route the top tether strap under the adjustable head restraint between the steel
posts.
NOTE: The top tether strap is always to be secured, regardless of if the child restraint
is installed with the lower anchors or the vehicle seat belt.

• Loosen the child seat adjusters on the
lower child restraint attachment straps
to ease the installation.
NOTE: It is recommended to loosen the top
tether strap and route it loosely prior to
securing the lower anchors so the top tether
strap is not trapped between the vehicle
seat and child restraint.
• Provide enough slack for the tether
strap to reach the tether anchor
located near the bottom of the seat
back.
• Clip tether hook to tether anchor.
Ensure that the hook is firmly engaged
and secure.
• Remove all slack and tighten tether
strap according to child restraint
manufacturer's instructions.
