TRANSPORTING CHILDREN SAFELY
Child-restraint system with tether
strap
If you use a child-restraint system with a
tether strap:
Depending on the location selected for
seating in the rear passenger area, attach
the tether strap to the corresponding
anchorage point to secure the child-
restraint system.
Both seating positions are fitted with a
head restraint.
Lift the head restraint and pass the tether
strap between the head restraint and the
seat back. It is recommended to readjust
the head restraint into the lowest possible
position.
Adjust the tether strap according to the
child-restraint manufacturer's instructions.
LATCH child-restraint mounting
system
Open the cover.
The illustration is an example showing the
mounts for the LATCH, Lower Anchors and
Tethers for CHildren, child-restraint mount-
ing system at the right rear.
The system is also available at the left rear
position.
Canadian models only:
The LATCH anchorage points are identified
by buttons, see illustration.
Always follow all manufacturer's
instructions and observe all safety
precautions when installing the LATCH
child-restraint system.
