Vehicles without rear seats

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.

Once the child safety seat has been installed, using either the safety belt,
the lower anchors of the LATCH system, or both, you can attach the top
tether strap.

If you install a child safety seat with rigid LATCH attachments, and have
attached the top tether strap to the proper top tether anchor, do not
tighten the tether strap enough to lift the child safety seat off the vehicle
seat cushion when the child is seated in it. Keep the tether strap just
snug without lifting the front of the child seat. Keeping the child safety
seat just touching the vehicle seat gives the best protection in a severe
crash.

Perform the following steps to attach a child safety seat to the tether
anchor:

1. Route the tether strap as follows:
For coupe with rear seats: With adjustable head restraints, route

the tether strap under the head restraint and between the head
restraint posts. With non-adjustable head restraints, route the tether
strap over the top of the head restraint.

For coupe without rear seats:

Route the tether strap through
the inboard slot of the front
passenger seat back or route the
tether strap over the top of the
non-adjustable head restraint. A
tether strap extension may be
needed to reach the tether.
