When installing a child restraint system using top tether, proceed as follows, while observing the instructions by the child restraint system manufacturer. 1-37 ! To hook the top tether CAUTION . Except for the center seating position, remove the head restraint when mounting a child restraint system. Otherwise, it might be possible that the top tether cannot be fastened tightly. . For the center seating position, raise the center head restraint to the extended position when mounting a child restraint system. Otherwise, it will be impossible to use the seatbelt guide that is attached to the head restraint correctly. The seatbelt guide is essential for routing the belt webbing at the center seating position. For information about using the seatbelt guide, refer to “Rear center seatbelt” F1-16.
