Attaching child safety seats with tether straps

Many forward-facing child safety seats include a tether strap which

extends from the back of the child safety seat and hooks to an anchoring

point called the top tether anchor. Tether straps are available as an

accessory for many older safety seats. Contact the manufacturer of your

child seat for information about ordering a tether strap, or to obtain a

longer tether strap if the tether strap on your safety seat does not reach

the appropriate top tether anchor in the vehicle.

The rear seats of your vehicle are equipped with built-in tether strap

anchors located behind the seats as described below.

The tether strap anchors in your vehicle are in the following positions

(shown from top view):

• 40/40 second row seats and

third-row passenger side

• 60/40 second row seats and

third-row passenger side

Attach the tether strap only to the appropriate tether anchor as shown.

The tether strap may not work properly if attached somewhere other

than the correct tether anchor.

Once the child safety seat has been installed, using either the safety belt,

the lower anchors of the LATCH system, or both, you can attach the top

tether strap.

If you install a child seat with rigid LATCH attachments, do not tighten

the tether strap enough to lift the child seat off the vehicle seat cushion

when the child is seated in it. Keep the tether strap just snug without

lifting the front of the child seat. Keeping the child seat just touching the

vehicle seat gives the best protection in a severe crash.
