Child Seat Tethers (If Equipped)
Some child seat manufacturers recommend the
use of a top anchorage (tether) strap in addition
to the lap belt. Since a top anchorage (tether)
strap can provide additional security to a child
seat, we recommend using a tether whenever
one is required or available.
Your motor home may be equipped with a child
seat top anchorage (tether) strap anchorage point
in the forward passenger seat location.
You can visually identify the anchorage
hardware by inspecting the lower rear of the
passenger or secondary seat. A small metal
anchorage loop will be present which will allow
the tether strap hook to engage (see Illustration 1).
To use, with the seat in position, drape the
tether strap over the seat back and down
(see Illustration 2). Attach the tether strap
hook to the tether anchorage point and
tighten the strap according to the child seat
manufacturers instructions. Make sure the
strap is not twisted and that the forward
facing seat is always positioned upright and
locked in the forward facing position when
the motor home is in motion .

WARNING
An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to
seat failure and injury to the child. In a collision, the
seat could come loose and allow the child to crash
into the inside of the vehicle or other passengers,
or even be thrown from the vehicle. Use only the
specified anchor positions to secure a child restraint
requiring top tether strap(s).
!
WARNING
When using any infant or child restraint system, it is
important that you follow the instructions and warn-
ings provided by the manufacturer concerning its
installation and use. Failure to follow the restraint
manufacturer’s in struc tions could in crease the risk
or severity of an injury in the event of a collision or
sudden stop.
!
WARNING
Carefully follow all of the manufacturer’s instructions
that come with the safety seat that you put in your
vehicle. Make sure that the shoulder belt (if provided
at the seating position where the safety seat is being
used) does not cross or rest in front of the child’s face
or neck. If you do not install and use the safety seat
properly, the child may be injured in a sudden stop or
collision.
