tether straps

safety seats include a tether strap
which goes over the back of the
seat and hooks to an anchoring
point. Tether straps are available as
an accessory for many older safety
seats. Contact the manufacturer of
your child safety seat for
information about ordering a tether
strap.
The rear seats of your vehicle are
equipped with builtĆin tether strap
anchors located behind the seats as
described below.
The tether anchors in your vehicle
are either located under a cover
marked with the tether anchor
symbol (shown with title) or are
recessed bars on the back side of
the seatback.
The tether strap anchors in your
vehicle are in the following
positions (shown from top view, left

Attach the tether strap only
to the appropriate tether
anchor as shown. The tether strap
may not work properly if attached
somewhere other than the correct
tether anchor.
