4. Finally, pull up on any excess webbing to
tighten the lap portion around the child
restraint while you push the child restraint
rearward and downward into the vehicle
seat.
5. If the child restraint has a top tether strap
and the seating position has a top tether
anchorage, connect the tether strap to the
anchorage and tighten the tether strap.
See the section “Installing Child Re-
straints Using the Top Tether Anchorage”
for directions to attach a tether anchor.
6. Test that the child restraint is installed
tightly by pulling back and forth on the
child seat at the belt path. It should not
move more than 1 inch (25.4 mm) in any
direction.
Any seat belt system will loosen with time, so
check the belt occasionally, and pull it tight if
necessary.
If the buckle or the cinching latch plate is too
close to the belt path opening of the child
restraint, you may have trouble tightening the
seat belt. If this happens, disconnect the
latch plate from the buckle and twist the
short buckle-end belt up to three full turns to
shorten it. Insert the latch plate into the
buckle with the release button facing out,
away from the child restraint. Repeat steps
4 to 6, above, to complete the installation of
the child restraint.
If the belt still cannot be tightened after you
shorten the buckle, disconnect the latch
plate from the buckle, turn the buckle around
one half turn, and insert the latch plate into
the buckle again. If you still cannot make the
child restraint installation tight, try a differ-
ent seating position.
Installing Child Restraints Using The Top
Tether Anchorage
WARNING!
Do not attach a tether strap for a rear-
facing car seat to any location in front of
the car seat, including the seat frame or a
tether anchorage. Only attach the tether
strap of a rear-facing car seat to the tether
anchorage that is approved for that seating
position, located behind the top of the
vehicle seat. See the section “Lower An-
chors and Tethers for CHildren (LATCH)
WARNING!
Restraint System” for the location of ap-
proved tether anchorages in your vehicle.
Regular Cab Trucks:
In the regular cab truck, the top tether an-
chorages are located behind the center and
right passenger seats. There is a plastic cover
over each anchorage. To attach the tether
strap of the child restraint:
1. Place the child restraint on the seat and
adjust the tether strap so that it will reach
over the seat back, under the head re-
straint and to the tether anchor directly
behind the seat.
