2. Position the child restraint on the seat.
Always follow the child restraint man-
ufacturer’s instructions.
The back of the child restraint should
be secured against the vehicle seat-
back.
If necessary, adjust or remove the head
restraint or headrest to obtain the
correct child restraint fit. If the head
restraint or headrest is removed, store
it in a secure place. Be sure to reinstall
the head restraint or headrest when
the child restraint is removed. See
“Head restraints” earlier in this section
or “Headrest” earlier in this section for
head restraint or headrest adjustment,
removal and installation information.
If the seating position does not have an
adjustable head restraint or a headrest
and it is interfering with the proper
child restraint fit, try another seating
position or a different child restraint.

3. Route the seat belt tongue through the
child restraint and insert it into the
buckle until you hear and feel the latch
engage. Be sure to follow the child
restraint manufacturer’s instructions
for belt routing.
If the child restraint is equipped with a
top tether strap, route the top tether
strap and secure the tether strap to the
tether anchor point (rear seat installa-
tion only). See “Installing top tether
strap (2nd row captain’s seats or 2nd
row bench seat)” later in this section.
Do not install child restraints that
require the use of a top tether strap in
seating positions that do not have a top
tether anchor.
