Cargo Van

If your vehicle is a cargo van, the anchoring point for a top strap is located at the rear of the seat cushion on the right front passenger's seat spacer bar. Anchor the top strap through the two slots.

Caution: A child in a rear-facing child restraint can be seriously injured or killed if the passenger's airbag inflates. This is because the back of the rear-facing child restraint would be very close to the inflating airbag. Do not use a rear-facing child restraint in this vehicle.

If you need to secure a forward-facing child restraint in the front passenger position, always move the front passenger seat as far back as it will go.

Bench Seats: An anchor bracket is located at the rear of the seat cushion near the top rear of the seat leg for each outboard seating position of the second row. For the third row, an anchor bracket is located at the rear of the seat cushion near the top rear of the seat leg for the right outboard seating position.

If you have adjustable head restraints, raise the head restraint and route the top strap under it.

The third row has one anchor for the passenger side outboard position only.

Do not secure a child restraint with a top strap in the right front passenger's position, the second or third row center positions, or the third row driver side position if a national or local law requires that the top strap be anchored, or if the instructions that come with the child restraint say that the top strap must be anchored. There is no place to anchor the top strap in these positions.
