Tether Use
25
Your vehicle’s features may be considerably different
than those pictured here.
You must always attach, adjust, and secure the tether (top
anchorage) strap when installing the car seat in the Forward-Facing
Mode with internal harness. Tethers improve the installation and
stability of car seats 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.
Using this child restraint without the tether strap
anchored as required 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.
