If the position you are using
has an adjustable headrest
or head restraint and
you are using a dual tether,
route the tether around
the headrest or head
restraint.
If the position you are using
has an adjustable headrest
or head restraint and
you are using a single
tether, raise the headrest or
head restraint and route
the tether under the
headrest or head restraint
and in between the headrest
or head restraint posts.

Securing a Child
Restraint in a Rear Seat
Position
When securing a child restraint in a
rear seating position, study the
instructions that came with the child
restraint to make sure it is
compatible with this vehicle.
If the child restraint has the LATCH
system, see Lower Anchors and
Tethers for Children (LATCH)
on page 1-31 for how and where to
install the child restraint using
LATCH. If a child restraint is secured
in the vehicle using a safety belt
and it uses a top tether, see Lower
Anchors and Tethers for Children
(LATCH) on page 1-31 for top tether
anchor locations.
Do not secure a child seat in a
position without a top tether anchor
if a national or local law requires
that the top tether be anchored, or if
the instructions that come with
the child restraint say that the top
strap must be anchored.
