GETTING STARTED Tether Straps at the Rear Passenger Seat (Crew Cab) • Route the child restraint tether strap over the seatback and under the head restraint (for outboard seating position only) and through the anchor strap outer loop (webbing material loop) located directly behind the child restraint. • Connect the tether strap hook to the anchor strap inner metal ring in the ADJACENT seating position. • Remove the slack in the tether strap so that both anchor straps are pulled tight. NOTE: Two anchors must be used for any of the three seating positions. 1. Inner Anchor Strap Ring(s) 2. Snap Hook 3. Tether Strap 4. Passenger's Side Rear Child Seat 5. Rear Center Child Seat 6. Driver's Side Rear Child Seat 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. • Once you have completed securing the child restraint with the seat belt, secure the top tether strap as described on the previous pages. 13
