WARNING In the center position the top tether strap must be correctly placed between the split in the rear seat back cushions. If the child restraint top tether strap is not secured properly, your child could be seriously injured or killed in an accident. Secure the top strap to the attaching bracket that provides the straightest installation of the strap. Tighten the strap according to the manufacturer's instructions to remove any slack. WRS0208 WARNING ● Child restraint anchor points are designed to withstand only those loads imposed by correctly fitted child restraints. Under no circumstances are they to be used for adult seat belts or harnesses. ● The child restraint top tether strap may be damaged by contact with the tonneau cover or items in the cargo area. Remove the tonneau cover from the vehicle or secure it and any cargo. Your child could be seriously injured or killed in a collision if the top tether strap is damaged. WRS0232 Rear seat center position For the rear center seating position, place the top tether strap through the split between the rear seat back cushion as shown in the illustration. Position the tether as low as possible in the split before tightening the top tether strap. Do not place the top tether strap over the seat back to the side of the split when installing a child restraint in the center rear position. In that position the top tether strap may not stay in place and not keep the child restraint secure in a crash. 1. 2.
