Caution: The child seat tether anchor is intended for use only on the left or right outboard rear seats. Installation at any other seating position could result in system failure, leading to injury in the event of a collision.

Caution: All bolt/screw holes to the exterior of the vehicle must be sealed completely to prevent carbon monoxide from entering the vehicle. Apply a sealant between the anchor bolt/screw washer and the sheet metal to prevent carbon monoxide from entering the vehicle. In the event that the child seat anchorage is removed, all bolt/screw holes penetrating to the exterior of the vehicle must be resealed. Breathing carbon monoxide can cause carbon monoxide poisoning and may be fatal.

Mark the hole that is made in the trim panel (3).

Use the following tether strap anchor bolt and spacer combination for the center (1), the left (3) and the right (2) positions:

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

Tighten
Tighten the tether strap anchor bolt to 45 N·m (33 lb ft).
