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.

Put the head restraint to its upper-most position, then route the tether strap through the head restraint legs.

Tighten the tether strap as instructed by the child seat manufacturer.
