Child restraint anchorages
Never route a top tether strap over the
top of the head restraint. The strap
should be routed beneath the head
restraint.
4. Firmly tension all straps.
Refer also to the child seat manufacturer's
instructions for information on securing the
child seat.

NOTE
restraints. Under no circumstances are
they to be used for adult seat belts or
harnesses. The anchorages are not able
to withstand excessive forces on them
in the event of collision if full harness
seat belts or adult seat belts are instal-
led to them. An adult who uses a belt
anchored in a child restraint anchorage
runs a great risk of suffering severe
injuries should a collision occur.
If the vehicle is equipped with a cargo
compartment cover, this must be removed
before a child seat can be attached in the
tether anchors.
Top tether anchors and symbols on the rear side of
the rear seat backrests. There is no symbol for the
center anchor position.
Securing a child seat
1. Place the child restraint on the rear seat.
2. Route the top tether strap under the head
restraint and attach it to the anchor.
Do not install rear speakers that require
the removal of the top tether anchors
or interfere with the proper use of the
top tether strap.
