• Then rotate the tether anchorage cover directly behind the seat where you are

placing the child restrain and attach the tether strap to the anchorage, being

careful to route the tether strap to provide the most direct path between the

anchor and the child restrain.

• Tighten all three straps as you push the child restraint rearward and downward into

the seat.

WARNING!

• Improper installation of a child restraint to the LATCH anchorages can lead to

failure of an infant or child restraint. The child could be badly injured or killed.

Follow the manufacturer’s directions exactly when installing an infant or child

restr aint.

• An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to increased head motion and

possible injury to the child. Use only the anchor positions directly behind the

child seat to secure a child restraint top tether strap.

Installing The Child Restraint Using The Vehicle Seat Belts

• To install a child restraint, first, pull enough of the seat belt webbing from the

retractor to route it through the belt path of the child restraint and slide the latch

plate into the buckle.

• Next, extract all the seat belt webbing out of the retractor and then allow the belt

to retract into the retractor. Finally, pull on any excess webbing to tighten the lap

portion around the child restraint. Any seat belt system will loosen with time, so

check the belt occasionally, and pull it tight if necessary.

• Rotate the cover over the anchor directly behind the seat where you are placing

the child restraint. These tether strap anchorages are under a plastic cover.

• Route the tether strap to provide the most direct path for the strap between the

anchor and the child seat.

• Attach the tether strap hook of the child restraint to the anchor and remove slack

in the tether strap according to the child restraint manufacturer’s instructions.

FRONT SEATS

WARNING!

Adjusting a seat while the vehicle is moving is dangerous. The sudden movement

of the seat could cause you to lose control. The seat belt might not be properly

adjusted, and you could be injured. Only adjust a seat while the vehicle is parked.
