Child restraint systems
! To hook the top tether
WARNING
S01AG0902
1. Remove the head restraint where the
child restraint system is to be installed. For
details, refer to “Head restraints” FP44.
2. For models with a reclining rear seat,
adjust the seatback to the upright position.
3. Attach the top tether hook to the
appropriate upper anchorage.
4. Tighten the top tether securely.
Contact your SUBARU dealer if you have
any questions regarding the installation of
a child restraint system.
. Do not use a seat belt extender. If
a seat belt extender is used when
installing a child restraint sys-
tem, the seat belt will not se-
curely hold the child restraint
system. Use of a seat belt exten-
der could cause death or serious
injury to children or other pas-
sengers in sudden braking, swer-
ving, or accidents.
. Attach the child restraint system
to the anchors properly. When
using the LATCH anchors, be
sure that there are no foreign
objects around the anchors.
Also, the seat belts should not
be caught behind the child re-
straint system. Make sure the
child restraint system is securely
attached. Otherwise it may cause
death or serious injury to chil-
dren or other passengers in sud-
den braking, swerving, or acci-
dents.
CAUTION
. Remove the head restraint when
mounting a child restraint sys-
tem. Otherwise, the top tether
cannot be fastened tightly.
. Store the head restraint that has
been removed in the cargo area.
Avoid placing the head restraint
in the passenger compartment,
as it could be thrown around in
the passenger compartment in a
sudden stop or a sharp turn.
