Safe Driving
A tether anchorage point is provided behind
each rear seating position. A child seat that is
installed with a seat belt and comes with a
tether can use the tether for additional
security.■Using an outer anchor
1.Raise the head restraint, then route the
tether strap through the head restraint legs.
Make sure the strap is not twisted.
2.Secure the tether strap hook onto the
anchor.
3.Lower the head restraint until it locks in
place.
4.Tighten the tether strap as instructed by the
child seat manufacturer.
■Adding Security with a Tether
1Adding Security with a Tether
Since a tether can provide additional security to the
lap/shoulder seat belt installation, we recommend
using a tether whenever one is available.
