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 .
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 available .

. 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 .
. Store the head restraint that has been removed in the cargo area . Do not place the head restraint in the passenger compartment to prevent it from being thrown around in the passenger compartment in a sudden stop or a sharp turn .
. 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 ” F1-17 .
