Tether Use
25
Your vehicle’s features may be considerably different
than those pictured here.
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.
WARNINGS
Using this child restraint without the tether strap anchored as
recommended by the manufacturer would be a misuse of the
child restraint and, in a sudden stop or crash, could result in
serious injury or death.
Do not fasten multiple tether hooks on the same tether anchor
in the vehicle.
