7. If the child restraint has a top tether strap and the seating position has a top tether

anchorage, connect the tether strap to the anchorage and tighten the tether strap. See
below for directions to attach a tether anchor.

8. Test that the child restraint is installed tightly by pulling back and forth on the child

seat at the belt path. It should not move more than 1 inch (25.4 mm) in any direction.

Installing The Top Tether Strap (With Either Lower Anchors Or Vehicle Seat
Belt):

When installing a forward-facing child restraint, always secure the top tether strap, up to
the tether anchor weight limit, whether the child restraint is installed with the lower
anchors or the vehicle seat belt.

Tether Strap Installation

1. Rotate or lift the cover to access the anchor directly behind the seat where you are

placing the child restraint.

2. Route the tether strap to provide the most direct path for the strap between the anchor

and the child seat.

3. If your vehicle is equipped with adjustable rear head restraints, raise the head

restraint, and where possible, route the tether strap under the head restraint and
between the two posts. If not possible, lower the head restraint and pass the tether
strap around the outboard side of the head restraint.

4. Attach the tether strap hook of the child restraint to the top tether anchorage and

remove slack in the tether strap according to the child restraint manufacturer’s
instructions.
