Child Seat Tether Attachment: Service and Repair

Child Seat Anchor Plate

Attachment points are provided for a rear seat mounted child restraint system which uses a top tether.

The attachment points are located on the rear trim panel or rear shelf, just behind the rear seat-back.

When using a child seat with a top tether, install the child seat anchor plates securely.

Hatchback






NOTE: The rear trim panel has perforations at each attachment point. Cut the rear trim panel along the perforations to make a hole.

Sedan









NOTE: Remove the plug covers from the attachment points of the rear shelf (Canada). Use a razor blade or sharp knife to carefully cut a 1 inch diameter circle at the location of the attachment point (USA).

NOTE:
- Do not remove the toothed washer from the child seat anchor plate. Use the child seat anchor plate with the toothed washer attached to it.
- When installing a child seat on the rear seat, follow the instructions of the manufacturer of the child seat.
- Additional anchor plates are available.

WARNING:
- Do not use the child seat anchor plate for any other purpose; it is designed exclusively for installation of a child seat.
- Make sure the rear seat-back is locked firmly when installing a child seat.
