Warnings and Cautions for Using the Anchor Bracket
Always attach the tether strap to the correct tether anchor position.
Attaching the tether strap to the incorrect tether anchor position is dangerous. In a collision, the tether strap could come off and loosen the child-restraint system. If the child-restraint system moves it could result in death or injury to the child.
Use the tether and tether anchor only for a child-restraint system.
Using the tether or tether anchor to secure anything but a child-restraint system is dangerous. This could weaken or damage the tether or tether anchor and result in injury.
Always remove the head restraint and install child-restraint system (except when installing a backless booster seat) (Except third-row outboard seat).
Installing a child-restraint system without removing the head restraint is dangerous. The child-restraint system cannot be installed correctly which may result in death or injury to the child in a collision.
If the top tether strap does not reach the anchor bracket, purchase and use an extension strap provided by the CRS manufacturer.

Always install the head restraint and adjust it to the appropriate position after removing the child-restraint system (Except third-row outboard seat).
Driving with the head restraint removed is dangerous as impact to the occupant's head cannot be prevented during emergency braking or in a collision, which could result in a serious accident, injury or death.
Refer to How to Use the Head Restraints (Search).
Only use a tether anchor designed for the second-row seats.
Using a third-row seat tether anchor on the second-row seat is dangerous. The child-restraint system cannot be installed correctly which may result in death or injury to the child in a collision.

Always route the tether straps to the sides of the head restraint (Third-row outboard seat).
Routing the tether straps on top of the head restraint is dangerous. In a collision the tether straps could slide off the head restraint and loosen the child-restraint system. The child-restraint system could move which may result in death or injury to the child.
