strap. Refer to “Installing Child Restraints Using The

Top Tether Anchorage” for directions to attach a tether

anchor.

6. 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 mm) in

any direction.

Any seat belt system will loosen with time, so check the

belt occasionally, and pull it tight if necessary.
If the buckle or the cinching latch plate is too close to the

belt path opening of the child restraint, you may have

trouble tightening the seat belt. If this happens, discon-

nect the latch plate from the buckle and twist the short

buckle-end belt up to three full turns to shorten it. Insert

the latch plate into the buckle with the release button

facing out, away from the child restraint. Repeat steps 4

to 6, above, to complete the installation of the child

restraint.

If the belt still cannot be tightened after you shorten the

buckle, disconnect the latch plate from the buckle, turn

the buckle around one half turn, and insert the latch plate

into the buckle again. If you still cannot make the child

restraint installation tight, try a different seating position.
Installing Child Restraints Using The Top Tether
Anchorage

Look behind the seating position where you

plan to install the child restraint to find the

tether anchorage. You may need to move the

seat forward to provide better access to the

tether anchorage. If there is no top tether anchorage for

that seating position, move the child restraint to another

position in the vehicle if one is available.
1. Rotate or lift the cover to access the anchor directly

behind the seat where you are placing the child

restraint.
