A tether anchorage point is provided behind each rear seating position.
Regardless of whether it is installed with LATCH or a seat belt, a child seat that
comes with a tether should use the tether for additional security.

1. Locate the appropriate tether anchorage point

and lift the cover.

2. Raise the head restraint to its upper-most

position, then route the tether strap through the
head restraint legs. Make sure the strap is not
twisted.

3. Secure the tether strap hook onto the anchor.
4. Tighten the tether strap as instructed by the

child seat manufacturer.

Protecting Larger Children

When a child is too big for a child seat, secure the child in a rear seat using the
lap/shoulder seat belt.

Have the child sit upright and all the way back, then ensure the following:

• The child’s knees bend comfortably over the edge

of the seat.

• The shoulder belt crosses between the child’s

neck and arm.

• The lap part of the seat belt is as low as possible,

touching the child’s thighs.

• The child can stay seated for the whole trip.

If a lap/shoulder belt cannot be used properly, position the child in a booster seat
in a rear seating position. For the child’s safety, check that the child meets the
booster seat manufacturer’s recommendations.
Some U.S. states and Canadian provinces/territories require children to use a
booster seat until they reach a given age or weight (e.g., 6 years or 60 lbs). Be
sure to check current laws in the state or province/territory where you intend to
drive.

Allowing a child age 12 or under to sit in the front can result in injury or

death if the passenger’s front airbag inflates.
If a larger child must ride in front, move the vehicle seat as far to the rear as

possible, have the child sit up properly and wear the seat belt properly, using

a booster seat if needed.
