GETTING STARTED Installing The Lower Attachments: • The vehicle lower anchorages are round bars located at the rear of the seat cushion where it meets the seatback. The rear seat lower anchors can be located on the seatback directly above readily identified by the symbol the anchorages and are just visible when you lean into the rear seat to install the child restraint. • Loosen the child seat adjusters on the lower straps and on the tether strap so that you can attach the hooks or connectors to the vehicle anchors more easily. • Attach the lower hooks or connectors over the top of the seatcover material. • Then tighten the straps as you push the child restraint rearward and downward into the seat. Tether Anchorage Points At The Right And Center Front Seat (Regular Cab - All Seats): • Place the child restraint on the seat and adjust the tether strap so that it will reach over the seat back under the head restraint to the tether anchor directly behind the seat. • Lift the cover (if equipped), and attach the hook to the square opening in the sheet metal. • Install the child restraint and remove the slack in the tether strap according to the manufacturer's instructions. Child Restraint Installation Sequence (Mega Cab® - Rear Seats): • Place a child restraint on each outboard rear seat and adjust the tether strap so that it will reach under the head restraint to the tether anchor directly behind the seat. • Lift the cover, and attach the hook to the square opening in the sheet metal. • Install the child restraint and remove the slack in the tether strap according to the manufacturer's instructions. 14
