Installing The Top Tether Strap (With Either Lower Anchors Or Vehicle

Seat Belt):

When installing a forward-facing child restraint, always secure the top tether strap, up to

the tether anchor weight limit, whether the child restraint is installed with the lower anchors

or the vehicle seat belt.

1. Rotate or lift the cover to access the anchor directly behind the seat where you are

placing the child restraint.

2. Route the tether strap to provide the most direct path for the strap between the anchor

and the child seat.

3. If your vehicle is equipped with adjustable rear head restraints, raise the head restraint,

and where possible, route the tether strap under the head restraint and between the two

posts. If not possible, lower the head restraint and pass the tether strap around the

outboard side of the head restraint.

Attach the tether strap hook of the child restraint to the top tether anchorage and remove

slack in the tether strap according to the child restraint manufacturer’s instructions.

WARNING!

• 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.

• Rearward-facing child seats must never be used in the front seat of a vehicle with a

front passenger air bag. An air bag deployment could cause severe injury or death to

infants in this position.

• Only use a rearward-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.
