Main Menu Table Of Contents Installing a Child Seat Installing a Child Seat with a Tether TETHER ANCHORAGE POINTS TETHER ANCHOR TETHER STRAP HOOK ANCHOR COVER TETHER ANCHOR A child seat with a tether can be installed in either back seat, using one of the anchor points shown above. Since a tether can provide additional security to the lap/shoulder belt installation, we recommend using a tether whenever one is required or available. 1. After securing the child seat in the desired position (see page 46), remove the head restraint (see page 85), then route the tether strap over the top of the seat-back. 2. Slide the anchor cover open as shown. 3. Attach the tether strap hook to the anchor, making sure the strap is not twisted. 4. Tighten the strap according to the seat maker's instructions. Make sure the removed head restraint is secured in the cargo area. Reinstall the head restraint in place when you remove the child seat. 48 2009 Element
