Installing Child Restraints - Vehicles With: SVT Performance Package
Rear Seat Delete (If Equipped)
WARNING:
It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo area, inside or outside of a vehicle. In a crash, people riding in these areas are more likely to be seriously injured or killed. Do not allow people to ride in any area of your vehicle that is not equipped with seats and seatbelts. Make sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and properly using a seatbelt. Failure to follow this warning could result in serious personal injury or death. |
This is not a seating position. You cannot place persons or child restraints in the rear of the vehicle with the rear seat delete option.
Vehicles Without Rear Seats
Once you have installed the child restraint using the seatbelt, you can attach the top tether strap.
Attach the tether strap only to the appropriate tether anchor as shown. The tether strap may not work properly if you attach it somewhere other than the correct tether anchor.
Perform the following to attach a child restraint to the tether anchor.
Route the tether strap as follows.
For coupe without rear seats, route the tether strap through the inboard slot of the front passenger seat backrest or route the tether strap over the top of the seat. You may need a tether strap extension to reach the tether anchor.
If you install a child restraint and you attach the top tether strap to the proper top tether anchor, do not tighten the tether strap enough to lift the child restraint off the vehicle seat cushion when the child is seated in it. Keep the tether strap just snug without lifting the front of the child restraint. Keeping the child restraint just touching the vehicle seat gives the best protection in a severe crash.
