Child Seat Tether Anchor Removal/Installation
An attachment point is provided for a passenger's-seat-mounted child restraint system that uses a top tether. The child seat tether anchor is installed on the right side of the rear trim panel just behind the passenger's seat-back. The anchor is covered by the child seat tether anchor cover.
- Do not remove the toothed washer from the child seat tether anchor. Use the anchor with the toothed washer attached to it.
- When installing a child seat on the passenger's seat, follow the instructions of the manufacturer of the child seat.
