Tether Strap Mounting (Four-Door Models)
Many, but not all, restraint systems will be
equipped with separate straps on each side,
with each having a hook or connector for attach-
ment to the lower anchorage and a means for
adjusting the tension of the strap. Forward-
facing toddler restraints and some rear-facing
infant restraints will also be equipped with a
tether strap having a hook for attachment to the
tether strap anchorage, and a means for adjust-
ing the tension of the strap.
You will first loosen the child seat adjusters on
the lower straps and on the tether strap so that
you can more easily attach the hooks or con-
nectors to the vehicle anchorages. Next, attach

the lower hooks or connectors over the top of
the anchorage bars, pushing aside the seat
cover material. Then, locate the tether anchor-
age directly behind the seat where you are
placing the child restraint and attach the tether
strap to the anchorage, being careful to route
the tether strap to provide the most direct path
between the anchor and the child restraint.
Finally, tighten all three straps as you push the
child restraint rearward and downward into the
seat, removing slack in the straps according to
the child restraint manufacturer's instructions.
WARNING!
Improper installation of a child restraint to the
ISOFIX anchorages can lead to failure of an
infant or child restraint. The child could be
badly injured or killed. Follow the manufac-
turer's directions exactly when installing an
infant or child restraint.
Installing Child Restraints Using The
Vehicle Seat Belt
The seat belts in the passenger seating posi-
tions are equipped with an Automatic Locking
Retractor to secure a Child Restraint System
(CRS). These types of seat belts are designed to
keep the lap portion of the seat belt tight around
the child restraint so that it is not necessary to
use a locking clip. The ALR will make a ratchet-
ing noise if you extract the entire belt from the
retractor and then allow the belt to retract into
the retractor. For additional information on ALR,
refer to "Automatic Locking Mode" description
under "Seat Belts In Passenger Seating Posi-
tions" section. The chart below defines the seat-
ing positions with an Automatic Locking Retrac-
tor (ALR) or a cinching latch plate.
