After the child restraint is removed and the seat
belt is fully retracted, the ALR mode (child re-
straint mode) is canceled.

INSTALLING TOP TETHER STRAP

WARNING

• Child restraint anchorages are de-

signed to withstand only those loads
imposed by correctly fitted child re-
straints. Under no circumstances are
they to be used to attach adult seat
belts, or other items or equipment to
the vehicle. Doing so could damage
the child restraint anchorages. The
child restraint will not be properly in-
stalled using the damaged anchorage,
and a child could be seriously injured
or killed in a collision.

• Do not allow anything to come in con-

tact with the strap, when the top tether
strap is in use. Doing so may result in
the strap being damaged in a collision.
Your child could be seriously injured or
killed in a collision if the child restraint
top tether strap is damaged.

First, secure the child restraint with the LATCH
lower anchors (rear outboard seat positions only)
or the seat belt, as applicable.

1. Flip up the anchor cover from the anchor point

which is located on the back side of the
seatbacks.

2. If necessary, raise or remove the head

restraint/headrest to position the top tether
strap over the top of the seatback. If the head
restraint/headrest is removed, store it in a
secure place. Be sure to reinstall the head
restraint/headrest when the child restraint is
removed.

See “Remove”, “Install”, or “Adjust” under
“Head restraints/headrests” for head restraint/
headrest adjustment, removal and installation
information.

Position the top tether strap over the top of the
seatback.
