Seat Belts

Child Seat Anchor Plate

An attachment point is provided for a child restraint

system which uses a top tether. The tether bracket and

bolt are available at your Acura dealer. The tether at-

tachment point is located on the panel behind the

passenger's seat-back.

1. Adjust the passenger seat fully forward to make

room behind the seat-back.

2. Using the dimensions shown, measure and mark

the location of the attachment point on the interior

panel.

3. Use a razor blade or sharp knife to carefully cut a 1

inch diameter circle at the point you marked. Cut

through one layer at a time. You will need to

remove two layers to reach the tether attachment.

4. Install the tether bracket and bolt and tighten to:

16 Ibf-ft (22 N-m)

Make sure to route the tether through the space be-

tween the headrest and seat.
