CHILD PASSENGER SAFETY

Traffic Safety Administration), there are four stages to
child restraint safety . Go to: https://www .nhtsa .gov/

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 .
The motorhome may be equipped with a child seat
top anchorage (tether) strap anchorage point in the
forward passenger seat location .
The anchorage
hardware, if available,
is located at 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
manufacturer’s 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 .
The child safety seat can be positioned in two places:
the front passenger (co-pilot) seat and forward facing
permanently mounted booth dinette seat equipped
with safety belts .
WARNING:
Safety belts are supplied at affixed seating
positions . Do not occupy seats not equipped with
safety belts while the motorhome is in motion . Seat
belts must only be used on permanently mounted
seats . Do not use a single seat belt on more than
one person . Pilot and Co-pilot seats must be
locked in a forward facing position with seat belts
fastened while the motorhome is in motion . Do not
rotate the seat while in transit .
WARNING:
Refer to the manufacturer of the child seat for
installation guidelines . Adhere to all instructions,
cautions and warnings for proper securement of
the child safety seat or booster seat .
