turer’s instructions.
The back of the child restraint should be
secured against the vehicle seatback.
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 RE-
STRAINTS” earlier in this section or AD-
JUSTABLE HEADREST” earlier in this
section for head restraint o r headrest
adjustment, removal and installation informa-
tion.
If the seating position does not have an
adjustable head restraint or 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 installation only). See “IN-
STALLING TOP TETHER STRAP” 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.
