Child Seat Tether Attachment: Service and Repair

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 shelf, just behind the rear seat-back. When using a child seat with a top tether, install the child seat anchor plates securely.

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.
- Make sure the rear seat-backs is locked firmly when installing a child seat.

Child Anchor Plates:

1. On a Canada model, remove the plug (A) from the attachment point (B) on the rear shelf then go to step 4. On a U.S. model, go to step 2.
2. From inside the trunk, select one of the three attachment points (weldnuts) and poke an awl through it to make a marker hole in the rear shelf fabric.
3. From inside the vehicle, use a sharp knife to cut a 22 mm (7/8 in.) diameter hole in the rear shelf fabric and pad at the marker hole.
4. Install the child seat anchor plate (C). Torque the bolt to 22 Nm (2.2 kg.m, 16 lb.ft).
