This could weaken or damage the tether or tether anchor and result in injury. Use the tether and tether anchor only for a child-restraint system. Marking M Third-Row Outboard Seats Child-Restraint System Installation 3. Hook the tether strap by following the child-restraint system manufacturer's instructions. Tether strap position Tether strap The third-row outboard seats cannot accommodate LATCH-type childrestraint systems or tethers, therefore these systems must be installed on the other seat positions such as the secondrow or third-row center seat. If this not possible, LATCH-type child-restraint systems or tethers should be installed using seat belts depending on whether the child-restraint manufacturer allows their use without LATCH attachments and tether anchors. Follow these instructions when using a child-restraint system. NOTE Anchor bracket Follow the child-restraint system manufacturer's instructions carefully. Depending on the type of childrestraint system, it may not employ seat belts which are in automatic locking mode. 2-48
