1-36 Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags/Child restraint systems & Top tether anchorages ! Anchorage location Your vehicle is equipped with three top tether anchorages so that a child restraint system having a top tether can be installed in the rear seat. When installing a child restraint system using top tether, proceed as follows, while observing the instructions by the child restraint system manufacturer. ! To hook the top tether CAUTION . Except for the center seating position, remove the head re- straint 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 sys- tem. Otherwise, it will be impos- sible 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 in- formation about using the seat- belt guide, refer to “Rear center seatbelt” F1-17. Since a top tether can provide additional stability by offering another connection between a child restraint system and the vehicle, we recommend that you use a top tether whenever one is required or avail- able. 1) 2) 3) For left seat For center seat For right seat Three upper anchorages are installed on the back side of the rear seatback.
