TOP TETHER STRAP CHILD RE-
STRAINT
If the manufacturer of your child restraint
requires the use of a top tether strap, it must
be secured to an anchor point.
WARNING
.In the 3rd row bench seat, a child
restraint with a top tether strap can
only be used in the outboard seating
position (right side). Do not place it in
the outboard seating position (left
side) and center position and attempt to angle the tether strap to the
outboard seating position (right
side).
. Child restraint anchorages are de-
signed to withstand only those loads
imposed by correctly fitted child
restraints. Under no circumstances
are they to be used to attach adult
seat belts, or other items or equip-
ment to the vehicle. Doing so could
damage the child restraint an-
chorages. The child restraint will not
be properly installed using the da-
maged anchorage, and a child could
be seriously injured or killed in a
collision.
. Properly secure cargo and do not
allow it to contact the top tether
strap when it is attached to the top
tether anchor. Cargo that is not
properly secured or cargo that con-
tacts the top tether strap may da-
mage the top tether strap during a
collision. Your child could be seriously
injured or killed in a collision if the
child restraint top tether strap is
damaged.

REAR-FACING CHILD RE-
STRAINT INSTALLATION USING
LATCH
Refer to all Warnings and Cautions in the
“Child safety” and “Child restraints” sections
before installing a child restraint.
Do not use the lower anchors if the com-
bined weight of the child and the child
restraint exceeds 65 lbs (29.5 kg). If the
combined weight of the child and the child
restraint is greater than 65 lbs (29.5 kg), use
the vehicle’s seat belt (not the lower an-
chors) to install the child restraint. Be sure to
follow the child restraint manufacturer’s
instructions for installation.
Follow these steps to install a rear-facing
child restraint in the 2nd row seats using the
LATCH system:
1. Position the child restraint on the seat. Always follow the child restraint manu-
facturer’s instructions.

from side to side while holding the child
restraint near the LATCH attachment
path. The child restraint should not move
more than 1 inch (25 mm), from side to
side. Try to tug it forward and check to
see if the LATCH attachment holds the
restraint in place. If the restraint is not
secure, tighten the LATCH attachment
as necessary, or put the restraint in
another seat and test it again. You may
need to try a different child restraint or
try installing by using the vehicle seat
belt (if applicable). Not all child restraints
fit in all types of vehicles.
