To hook the top tether

1. Remove the headrest at the windowside seating position where the child restraint system has been installed with the lower anchorages or seatbelt; lift up the headrest while pressing the release button. Store the headrest in the cargo area. Avoid placing the headrest in the passenger compartment to prevent it from being thrown around in the passenger compartment in a sudden stop or a sharp turn.

2. For both window-side seating positions, remove the cover for the appropriate upper anchorage.

3. Attach the child restraint top tether hook to the appropriate upper anchorage.
4. Tighten the top tether securely.
Please contact your SUBARU dealer if you have any question regarding the installation of a child restraint system.

Always remove the headrest when mounting a child restraint system with a top tether. Otherwise, the top tether cannot be fastened tightly.
