For regular cab models, the top
tether anchors are located under
covers on the back panel behind
the passenger seat. Remove the
trim plug to access the anchor.
Be sure to use an anchor located
on the same side of the vehicle as
the seating position where the child
restraint will be placed.

For crew and extended cab models,
the top tether anchors are the loops
located near the top of the seatback
for each rear seating position.
These loops will be used to route
the top tether through, as well as, to
secure the top tether in the vehicle.
Be sure to use an anchor (loop)
located on the same side of the
vehicle as the seating position
where the child restraint will be
placed.

Be sure to read the instructions
following to properly install a child
restraint using these loops.

Do not secure a child restraint in a
position without a top tether anchor
if a national or local law requires
that the top tether be attached, or if
the instructions that come with the
child restraint say that the top tether
must be attached.

According to accident statistics,
children and infants are safer
when properly restrained in a child
restraint system or infant restraint
system secured in a rear seating
position. See Where to Put the
Restraint on page 3‑56
for
additional information.
