1. Raise the head restraint and reach be-
tween the rear seat and rear glass to
access the tether strap loop.
2. Place a child restraint on the seat and adjust the tether strap so that it will reach
over the seat back, under the head re-
straint, through the tether strap loop be-
hind the seat and over to the tether strap
loop behind either the right or left out-
board seat. 3. Pass the tether strap hook under the head
restraint behind the child seat, though the
tether strap loop behind the seat and over
to the right or left outboard tether strap
loop.
