Tether Attachment
1. Fold down the rear seat and look inside the luggage compartment underneath the metal panel in the area behind the top of the rear seat back and
locate the two existing 9mm (0.35 inch) tether anchorage holes identified by the letter "T" stamped in the metal panel.
NOTE: The following illustration is looking upward into the luggage compartment.
2. Choose the desired tether hole location.
WARNING: USE ONLY THE TETHER ATTACHMENT HOLE LOCATIONS SHOWN. THE TETHER ANCHORAGE WILL NOT
PERFORM PROPERLY IF THE WRONG MOUNTING LOCATION IS USED.
NOTE: You can attach an anchor to the metal panel located between the top of the rear seat back and the bottom of the rear window glass.
However, before you attach the tether anchor, you must pierce a hole in the interior trim panel for the anchor.
3. Pierce a hole in the interior trim panel for the tether anchor. Use a sharp instrument such as an awl or ice pick and insert the instrument up through
the desired tether anchorage hole in the metal panel and up into the small diameter hole provided in the bottom surface of the trim panel as shown.
WARNING: AVOID HOLDING DOWN THE TRIM PANEL IN THE AREA THAT THE HOLE IS BEING PIERCED TO AVOID
HAND OR ARM INJURY. A NARROW BLADE IS NOT RECOMMENDED AS IT COULD BREAK, POSSIBLY CAUSING EYE
INJURY.
4. From the top of the trim panel, use the small diameter hole as a locator and cut a 30mm (1-3/18 inch) slot centered on the pierced hole. Use a
utility knife to cut the cloth and sound insulation. Use protective eye wear when cutting the slot in the trim.
