Child Seat Tether Attachment: Service and Repair

Child Seat Anchor Plate Installation


An attachment point is provided for a child restraint system which uses a top tether. The tether bracket and bolt are available at your Acura dealer. The tether attachment point is located on the panel behind the passenger's seat-back.

1. Adjust the passenger seat fully forward to make room behind the seat-back.
2. Using the dimensions shown, measure and mark the location of the attachment point on the interior panel.
3. Use a razor blade or sharp knife to carefully cut a 1 inch diameter circle at the point you marked. Cut through one layer at a time. You will need to remove two layers to reach the tether attachment.






4. Install the tether bracket and bolt and tighten to: 16 lbf-ft (22 N-m)
Make sure to route the tether through the space between the headrest and seat.

NOTE:
- Do not remove the toothed washer from the child seat anchor plate. Use the child seat anchor plate with the toothed washer attached to it.
- When installing a child seat, follow the instructions of the manufacturer of the child seat.
- Additional anchor plates are available.

WARNING: Do not use the anchor plate for any other purpose; it is designed exclusively for installation of a child seat.
