Removal And Installation

WARNING: All safety belt assemblies (including retractors, belt tension sensor (BTS) if equipped, buckles, shoulder belt height adjusters [if equipped], child safety seat tether attachments and attaching hardware) should be inspected after every collision. All new belt assemblies should be installed unless a qualified technician finds the assemblies show no damage and operate correctly. Belt assemblies not in use during a collision should also be inspected and new assemblies installed if either damage or incorrect operation is noted. Failure to follow these instructions may increase the risk of injury in collisions.
  1. Open the tether anchor cover at the top of the parcel shelf.
  2. Remove the bolt and child safety seat tether anchor.
    • To install, tighten to 28 Nm (21 lb-ft).
  3. WARNING: It is important that the bolt/anchor be securely tightened to specification. Otherwise, the child's safety seat may not be correctly secured and the child can be injured in case of a sudden stop or accident.
  4. To install, reverse the removal procedure.
  5. Check the active restraint system for correct operation. For additional information, refer to Safety Belt System .
