Attaching child safety seats with tether straps
Most new forward-facing child safety seats include a tether strap which
goes over the back of the seat and hooks to an anchoring point. Tether
straps are available as an accessory for many older safety seats. Contact
the manufacturer of your child seat for information about ordering a
tether strap.
The rear seating positions of your vehicle are equipped with built-in
tether strap anchors located behind the seats as described below.
The tether anchors in your vehicle are located on the roof panel in the
cargo area.
The tether strap anchors in your vehicle are in the following positions:
WARNING: Attach the tether
strap only to the appropriate
tether anchor as shown. The
tether strap may not work
properly if attached
somewhere other than the
correct tether anchor.
1. Position the child safety seat on the passenger seat cushion.
2. Route the child safety seat tether strap over the back of the seat.
NOTE: For vehicles with adjustable head restraints, route the tether
strap under the head restraint and between the head restraint posts,
otherwise route the tether strap over the top of the seatback.
