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 seating positions of your vehicle are equipped with built-in

tether strap anchors located behind the seats on the d-pillar in the cargo

area as described below.

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

(shown from top view):

• Four-passenger vehicle

• Five-passenger vehicle

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

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

strap.

If you install a child seat with rigid LATCH attachments, and have

attached the top tether strap to the proper top tether anchor, 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.
