Once you have the top strap anchored,
you’ll be ready to secure the child restraint
itself. Tighten the top strap when and as
the child restraint manufacturer’s instruc-
tions say.

Top Strap Anchor Location

Top strap anchors are already installed in
your vehicle for the three rear seating posi-
tions.

Do not use a child restraint with a top strap
in the right front passenger’s position
because there is no place to anchor the
top strap.

Sedan

You will find the anchors on your vehicle
behind the rear seat on the filler panel.

Pull the front part of the plastic cover
upward to access the top strap anchors.

Wagon

Top strap anchors are located at both sides
of the floor mat in the rear cargo area
behind the rear seat and at the center of
the upper rear roof.

Strap

Install the child restraint system as follows:

1) Remove the luggage compartment

WARNING

Each top tether bracket is designed
to anchor only one child restraint.
Attaching more than one child
restraint to a single bracket could
cause the anchor to come loose or
even break during a crash. A child or
others could be injured if this hap-
pens. To help prevent injury to people
and damage to your vehicle, attach
only one child restraint per bracket.
