Installing Child Restraints Using The Top 

Tether Anchorage

The Top Tether anchorages are located behind 

each rear seating position. To attach the tether 

strap of the child restraint:
1. Place the child restraint on the seat and 

adjust the tether strap so that it will reach 

over the seat back, under the head 

restraint and to the tether anchor directly 

behind the seat.

2. Release the seat back by pulling the release 

strap located on the top of the seat back to 

provide room to reach the tether anchor.

3. Route the tether strap to provide the most 

direct path between the anchorage and the 

child seat. The tether strap should go 

between the head restraint posts 

underneath the head restraint. You may 

need to adjust the head restraint (if 

adjustable) to the upward position to pass 

the tether strap underneath the head 

restraint and between its posts.

4. Attach the hook to the wire anchorage on 

the cab back wall (inside the opening 

labeled with the tether anchorage symbol.)

5. Push the seat back rearward until the latch 

engages and no red indicator is showing on 

the strap.

6. Tighten the tether strap according to the 

child seat manufacturer's instructions.

Tether Anchorage Locations

WARNING!

Do not attach a tether strap for a rear-facing 

car seat to any location in front of the car 

seat, including the seat frame or a tether 

anchorage. Only attach the tether strap of a 

rear-facing car seat to the tether anchorage 

that is approved for that seating position, 

located behind the top of the vehicle seat. 

See  

Ú

page 371 for the location of approved 

tether anchorages in your vehicle.

WARNING!

An incorrectly anchored tether strap could 

lead to increased head motion and 

possible injury to the child. Use only the 

anchorage position directly behind the child 

seat to secure a child restraint top tether 

strap.

If your vehicle is equipped with a split rear 

seat, make sure the tether strap does not 

slip into the opening between the seat

-

backs as you remove slack in the strap.
