lower anchorages located at “ ” marks on
the bottom of the rear seatback. When the

& Top tether anchorages
Your vehicle is equipped with two or 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.
If you have any question concerning this
type of child restraint system, ask your
SUBARU dealer.
