Top Strap
If your child restraint has a top strap, it should be
anchored. If you need to have an anchor installed, you
can ask your Chevrolet dealer to put
it
in for you. If you
want to install an anchor yourself, your dealer can tell
you how to do it.
If you have a convertible, don't use a restraint that has a
top strap in your vehicle because the top strap anchor
cannot be installed properly.
The place where the anchor has to go is quite
close to your fuel tank.
If
the anchor isn't
installed correctly, it can make a hole in the fuel
tank
--
either then,
or
in a later collision.
Gasoline could leak out and be ignited, and
people in the vehicle or outside it could be badly
burned. Don't install the anchor yourself unless
you know you can do it correctly.
For cars first sold in Canada, child restraints with
a
top
strap must be anchored according to Canadian law.
Your dealer can obtain the hardware kit and install it for
you, or you may install it yourself using the instructions
provided in the kit.
Use the tether hardware kit available from the dealer.
The hardware and installation instructions were
specifically designed for this vehicle.
