54 Seats and Restraints
To assist in locating the lower anchors on
crew cab models, each seating position with
lower anchors has two labels near the
crease between the seatback and the seat
cushion.
A child restraint in the rear center seating
position must be installed with a seat belt
as it is not equipped with lower LATCH
anchors. SeeSecuring Child Restraints (With
the Seat Belt in the Rear Seat) 064 or
Securing Child Restraints (With the Seat Belt
in the Front Seat) 069.
Extended Cab (Rear Seats Shown)
I: Seating positions with top tether
anchors.
H: Seating positions with two lower
anchors.
For extended cab models with rear seats,
there are exposed metal lower anchors for
each rear seating position, attached to the
back wall, near the seat cushion.
Even though LATCH anchors are required for
this position, a child restraint (forward-facing
or rear-facing) should not be installed in the
left rear seat.
Extended Cab without Rear Seats (Front Seats
Shown)
For extended cab models without rear seats,
there is a top tether anchor provided for the
front passenger seat.

Seats and Restraints 55
For extended cab without rear seat and crew
cab models, there are top tether anchor
symbols to assist you in locating the top
tether anchors.
Crew Cab
The top tether anchors in a crew cab model
are on the back wall behind each rear
seating position. Fold down the rear
seatback to access the anchor. See
instructions for crew cab under Rear Seats
0 25. Be sure to use an anchor located
directly behind the seating position where
the child restraint will be placed.
Extended Cab with Rear Seats
The top tether anchors in an extended cab
model are loops near the top of each rear
seatback. See the instructions under
“Securing a Child Restraint with the LATCH
System” later in this section on how to
attach a top tether.
Do not attach a top tether to the loop near
the top of the seatback of the seating
position in which the child restraint is
installed.Extended Cab without Rear Seats
The top tether anchor in an extended cab
without rear seats is a metal wire on the
lower inboard side of the cab wall directly
behind the front passenger seat.
Do not place heavy objects on the top
tether anchor or use it as a tie down for
cargo as this may cause damage to the
anchor.
Do not secure a child restraint in a position
without a top tether anchor if a national or
local law requires that the top tether be
attached, or if the instructions that come
with the child restraint say that the top
tether must be attached.

58 Seats and Restraints
If the position you are using has a
fixed head restraint and you are
using a dual tether, route the
tether around the sides of the head
restraint.
If the child restraint is installed next
to a center seat, make sure the top
tether does not interfere with the
center seating position shoulder
belt/retractor. If it does, find
another suitable seating position to
install the child restraint.
3.4. Adjust the top tether to its fulllength and attach the top tether
hook to the anchor. Make sure that you secure the top tether to the
top tether anchor and not to the
seatback latch.
3.5. Push rearward on the seatback until it locks into its upright position.
Push and pull on the seatback to
make sure it is secured properly.
4. Attach and tighten the lower attachments to the lower anchors. If the
child restraint does not have lower
attachments or the desired seating
position does not have lower anchors,
secure the child restraint with the seat
belt and the top tether. Refer to your
child restraint manufacturer instructions
and Securing Child Restraints (With the
Seat Belt in the Rear Seat) 064 or
Securing Child Restraints (With the Seat
Belt in the Front Seat) 069.
5. Tighten the top tether.
6. Before placing a child in the child restraint, make sure it is securely held in
place. To check, grasp the child restraint
at the LATCH path and attempt to move
it side to side and back and forth. There
should be no more than 2.5 cm (1 in) of
movement for proper installation.
Extended Cab with Rear Seats
{Warning
Never secure a rear-facing or
forward-facing child restraint in the left
rear seating position in an extended cab
model. This seating position is not
suitable for child restraint installation.
The seat cushion is too short to properly
support a rear-facing or forward-facing
child restraint. A child could be seriously
injured or killed in a sudden stop or
crash.
A booster seat can be used in the left or
right rear seating position if the base of
the booster seat fits on the seat cushion
and does not extend past the front edge.
If it does, it should be installed in the
right rear seating position using the seat
cushion extension. Only install a booster
seat in either rear seating position if it
can be properly installed according to the
child restraint manufacturer’s instructions.
A rear-facing or forward-facing child
restraint can be installed in the right rear
seating position using the seat cushion

extension in an extended cab model.
Never install a rear-facing or
forward-facing child restraint in the right
rear seating position without the seat
cushion extension.
{Warning
Do not let anyone ride in the front
passenger seat when a rear-facing child
restraint is installed in the right rear
seating position. To properly fit the
rear-facing child restraint, the front
seatback will need to be tilted forward
which will not allow a passenger to sit
properly in the front outboard passenger
seat. The passenger could be seriously
injured or killed in a sudden stop or
crash.
{Warning
Do not attach a top tether to the loop
near the top of the seatback and directly
behind the seating position in which the
child restraint is installed in an extended
cab with rear seats. The top tether will
not be able to be properly tightened. See
instructions below for how to properly
attach a top tether.
Extended Cab Rear Seat Cushion Extension
The vehicle is equipped with a headrest that
is used as a seat cushion extension for
installation of child restraints in the right
rear seat.
{Warning
The right rear seat cushion extension is
designed to support the weight of a child
in a child restraint or booster seat. It is
neither designed nor intended to support
the weight of an adult. Use the seat
cushion extension only when a child
restraint or booster seat is installed in
the right rear seating position. When installing a rear-facing child restraint
in the right rear seating position, move the
front seat all the way forward and tilt the
seatback forward to properly install the child
restraint. See
Power Seat Adjustment 023,
Seat Adjustment 023, and Reclining
Seatbacks 023. When a rear-facing child
restraint is installed properly, the front
passenger seat cannot be used.
1. Always install the seat cushion extension in the right rear seating position when
installing a forward-facing or rear-facing
child restraint. Also use the seat cushion
extension for booster seats that extend
past the front edge of the seat cushion.

When using the lap-shoulder belt to secure
the child restraint in this position, follow the
instructions that came with the child
restraint and the following instructions:
