Third row bench in second row position
To attach a tether strap to a lap/shoulder belt:
1. Route the tether strap under the
head restraint and between the
head restraint supports.
2. Hook the tether strap hook into
the large hole at the end of the seat
belt tongue of the lap/shoulder belt
directly behind the child seat
position.
3. Adjust the tether strap length until the hook is about one foot behind
the seatback.
4. Pull the shoulder belt until all of the belt is fully extended and a click
is heard. At this time the belt is in automatic locking mode (child
restraint mode).
5. Let the retractor wind up the slack from the lap/shoulder belt. A
clicking sound should be heard as the belt retracts, indicating that the
retractor is in automatic locking mode. Tighten the tether strap to
remove any slack.
6. Before placing a child in the child restraint, use force to tilt the child
restraint from side to side and tug it forward to make sure it is securely
held in place.
7. Check that the retractor is in automatic locking mode by trying to pull
more belt out of the retractor. If you cannot pull any more belt webbing
out of the retractor, the belt is in automatic locking mode.
8. Check to make sure the child restraint is properly secured prior to
each use. If the belt is not locked, repeat steps 4 through 7.
For additional important safety information on the proper use of
seatbelts, child seats and infant seats, please read the entire Seating
and safety restraints chapter in this owner’s guide.
