When installing a child seat and top
tether on a rear seat if a cargo compart-
ment cover blind* or a partition net* is
in place behind that rear seat, make
sure the top tether strap is positioned
between the seat backrest and the
cargo compartment cover blind* or
partition net* in order for the child seat
to be properly secured.
Warning! G
When installing a child seat on a third-row
seat, do not fasten hook 3 to the strap be-
low anchorage ring 2. Otherwise, the child
seat will not be securely fastened. A child’s
risk of serious or fatal injuries is significantly
increased if the child seat is not properly se-
cured in the vehicle.

For safety, make sure the hook has at-
tached to the ring beyond the safety
catch, as illustrated.
