You
MUST
always attach, adjust, and secure the top anchorage
(tether) strap when installing the child restraint forward facing
with internal harness. Tethers improve the installation and
stability of child restraints and reduce the risk of injury.
Attach the tether hook to the tether anchor designated by your
vehicle manufacturer for that seating position. Check your
vehicle owner’s manual for more information.
If the seating position does not have a tether anchor, use a
different seating position or see your dealer or a qualified
mechanic and have one installed.
WARNING:
Do not fasten multiple tether hooks on the
same tether anchor in the vehicle.
