Honda CR-V: Safety of Infants and Small Children / Adding Security with a Tether
A tether anchorage point is provided behind each rear seating position.
If you have a child seat that comes with a tether but can be installed with a
seat belt, the tether may be used for additional security.

Since a tether can provide additional security to the
lap/shoulder seat belt installation, we recommend
using a tether whenever one is available.
Using an outer anchor
- Put 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.
- Secure the tether strap hook to the anchor.
- Tighten the tether strap as instructed by the child seat manufacturer.

Using the center anchor
- Put the head restraint to its upper-most position.
- Open the anchor cover.
- Route the tether strap through the head restraint legs.
Make sure the
strap is not twisted.
- Secure the tether strap hook to the anchor.
- Tighten the tether strap as instructed by the child seat manufacturer.

A child seat can be installed with a lap/shoulder belt in any rear seat or,
if absolutely
necessary, the front passenger seat.
Place the child seat on the vehicle seat...
Protecting Larger Children
The following pages give instructions on how to check proper seat belt fit,
what kind
of booster seat to use if one is needed, and important precautions for a child
who
must sit in front...
Other information:
Regularly check the condition of your seat belts as follows:
Pull each belt out fully, and look for frays, cuts, burns, and wear.
Check that the latch plates and buckles work smoothly and the belts
retract
easily.
If a belt does not retract easily, cleaning the belt may correct the
problem...
For your safety, perform all listed inspections and maintenance to keep your
vehicle
in good condition. If you become aware of any abnormality (noise, smell,
insufficient
brake fluid, oil residue on the ground, etc.), have your vehicle inspected by a
dealer...
