Child Seat Tether Attachment: Service and Repair
Child Seat Anchor Plate Installation
Attachment points are provided for a rear seat mounted child restraint system which uses a top tether. The attachment points are located on the rear
speaker grille and on the rear shelf, just behind the rear seat-back. When using a child seat with a top tether, install the child seat anchor plates securely.
NOTE:
-
Do not remove the toothed washer from the child seat anchor plate. Use the child seat anchor plate with the toothed washer attached to it.
-
When installing a child seat on the rear seat, follow the instructions of the manufacturer of the child seat.

Additional anchor plates are available.
1. When using the center attachment point (A), remove the cover (B) from the rear speaker grille then go to step 4. When using the side
attachment points(C) on the rear shelves, go to step 2.
2. From inside the trunk, select one of the two side attachment points (weld nuts) and poke an awl through it to make a marker hole in the rear
shelf fabric.
3. From inside the vehicle, use a sharp knife to cut a 22 mm (7/8 in.) diameter hole in the rear shelf fabric and base at the marker hole.
4. Install the child seat anchor plate (D). Torque the bolt to 22 N.m (2.2 kgf.m, 16 lbf.ft).
