4. Pass the child restraint tether hook through either opening in the seatback underneath
the head restraint.
5. Attach the tether hook to the anchor loop.
6. Move the seat to its farthest rearward position. Apply body pressure to the seat to be
sure the seat adjusters have latched.
7. Return the seatback to an upright position.
8. Remove slack from the tether strap according to the child restraint manufacturer's
directions.
• In a collision, an unrestrained child, even a tiny baby, can become a projectile
inside the vehicle. The force required to hold even an infant on your lap could
become so great that you could not hold the child, no matter how strong you are.
The child and others could be severely injured or killed. Any child riding in your
vehicle should be in a proper restraint for the child's size.
• Never place a rear-facing child restraint in front of an air bag. A deploying Passenger
Advanced Front Air Bag can cause death or serious injury to a child 12 years or
younger, including a child in a rear-facing child restraint.
• Only use a rear-facing child restraint in a vehicle with a rear seat.
• Improper installation of a child restraint to the LATCH anchorages can lead to
failure of an infant or child restraint. The child could be severely injured or killed.
Follow the manufacturer's directions exactly when installing an infant or child
restraint.
• An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to increased head motion and
possible injury to the child. Use only the anchor positions directly behind the child
seat to secure a child restraint top tether strap.
• If your vehicle is equipped with a split rear seat, make sure the tether strap does not
slip into the opening between the seatbacks as you remove slack in the strap.

NON-ADJUSTABLE HEAD RESTRAINTS

The non-adjustable head restraints are form fitted into the upper structure of the seatback
and are designed to reduce the risk of injury by restricting head movement in the event of
a rear impact. The seatback should be properly adjusted to an upright position where the
head restraint is positioned as close as possible to the back of your head.
Be certain that the seatback is locked securely into position. Otherwise, the seat will
not provide the proper stability for passengers. An improperly latched seatback could
cause serious injury.
