using a top tether, attach and tighten the top

Center Rear Seat Position
If your child restraint is equipped with the LATCH
system, see Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children
(LATCH) on page 1-44.

you will be using the lap-shoulder belt to secure the
child restraint in this position. Be sure to follow the
instructions that came with the child restraint.

around the restraint. The child restraint instructions
will show you how.
Tilt the latch plate to adjust the belt if needed.
