Essential Safety Equipment Child Restraint WARNING Use the tether and tether anchor only for a child-restraint system: Using the tether or tether anchor to secure anything but a child-restraint system is dangerous. This could weaken or damage the tether or tether anchor and result in injury. Always route the tether strap between the head restraint and the seatback: Routing the tether strap on top of the head restraint is dangerous. In a collision the tether strap could slide off the head restraint and loosen the child-restraint system. The childrestraint system could move which may result in death or injury to the child. Always attach the tether strap to the correct tether anchor position: Attaching the tether strap to the incorrect tether anchor position is dangerous. In a collision, the tether strap could come off and loosen the child-restraint system. If the childrestraint system moves it could result in death or injury to the child. qThird-Row Seats Child-Restraint System Installation The third-row seats cannot accommodate LATCH-type child-restraint systems or tethers, therefore these systems must be installed on the other seat positions such as the second-row 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 manufacturer's instructions when using a child-restraint system. NOTE Follow the child-restraint system manufacturer's instructions carefully. Depending on the type of child-restraint system, it may not employ seat belts which are in automatic locking mode. 1. Secure the child-restraint system with the lap portion of the lap/shoulder belt. See the manufacturer's instructions on the child-restraint system for belt routing instructions. 2-40
