Child Seat Tether Attachment: Description and Operation
Child Safety Seat Tether Anchors
WARNING: Always tighten the child safety seat tether anchor/bolt to specification. Failure to follow this instruction may result in the
child's safety seat being incorrectly secured, which increases the risk of serious personal injury or death to the child in a sudden stop or
crash.
The second row child safety seat tether anchors are located directly behind the seat, attached to the back of the cab.
If the child safety seat tether anchors were in use during a collision, inspect and install new anchors as necessary. Return the vehicle structure to its
original production configuration.
LATCH
The LATCH system is a standardized and uniform attachment system for installing child safety seats in passenger vehicles. LATCH-equipped child
safety seats have 2 lower attachments that connect to the vehicle portion of the LATCH system.
The vehicle portion of the system consists of 2 attachment points (6 mm wires) attached to the rear seat risers and floor pan (SuperCab and
SuperCrew). The attachment points protrude from the bight line between the seat cushion and seat backrest.
If a child safety seat was in use during a collision, inspect the vehicle portion of the system for damage. If any of the attachment points (6 mm wires)
are damaged, install a new LATCH assembly. Refer to the appropriate procedure in the Removal and Installation.
