Hyundai Santa Fe: Installing a Child Restraint System (CRS) / Securing a Child Restraint System seat with “Tether Anchor” system

First secure the child restraint with the LATCH lower anchors or the seat belt.
If the child restraint manufacturer recommends that the top tether strap be attached,
attach and tighten the top tether strap to the top tether strap anchor.
Child restraint hook holders are located on the rear of the seatbacks.

To install the tether anchor:
1. Route the Child Restraint System top-tether strap over the seatback. Route
the tether strap under the head restraint and between the head restraint posts,
or route the tether strap over the top of the vehicle seatback. Make sure the strap
is not twisted.
2. Connect the tether strap hook to the tether anchor, then tighten the top-tether
strap according to the instructions of your Child Restraint System’s manufacturer
to firmly attach the Child Restraint System to the seat.
3. Check that the Child Restraint System is securely attached to the seat by
pushing and pulling the seat forwardand- back and side-to-side.
WARNING
Take the following precautions when installing the top-tether:
- Read and follow all installation instructions provided with your
Child Restraint System.
- NEVER attach more than one Child Restraint System to a single tether
anchor. This could cause the anchorage or attachment to come loose or break.
- Do not attach the tether strap to anything other than the correct
top-tether anchor. It may not work properly if attached to something else.
- Child Restraint System anchors are designed to withstand only those
loads imposed by correctly fitted Child Restraint System. Do not use them for
adult seat belts, harnesses, or for attaching other items or equipment to the
vehicle.
To install a LATCH-compatible Child Restraint System in either of the rear outboard
seating positions:
1. Move the seat belt buckle away from the lower anchors...
WARNING
ALWAYS place a rearward-facing Child Restraint System in the rear seat of
the vehicle.
Placing a rearward-facing child restraint in the front seat can result in
serious injury or death if the Child Restraint System is struck by an inflating
air bag...
