Installing Child Restraints Using The Top Tether Anchorage; Rear Seat Tether Strap Mounting - Alfa Romeo Stelvio 2019 User Manual

6. Try to pull the webbing out of the
retractor. If it is locked, you should not be
able to pull out any webbing. If the
retractor is not locked, repeat step 5.
7. Finally, pull up on any excess webbing
to tighten the lap portion around the child
restraint while you push the child
restraint rearward and downward into
the vehicle seat.
8. If the child restraint has a top tether
strap and the seating position has a top
tether anchorage, connect the tether
strap to the anchorage and tighten the
tether strap. See the section "Installing
Child Restraints Using the Top Tether
Anchorage" for directions to attach a
tether anchor.
9. Test that the child restraint is
installed tightly by pulling back and forth
on the child seat at the belt path. It should
not move more than 1 inch (25.4 mm) in
any direction.
Any seat belt system will loosen with
time, so check the belt occasionally, and
pull it tight if necessary.
Installing Child Restraints Using The
Top Tether Anchorage:
Warning!
Do not attach a tether strap for a
rear-facing car seat to any location in front
of the car seat, including the seat frame or a
tether anchorage. Only attach the tether
strap of a rear-facing car seat to the tether
anchorage that is approved for that seating
position, located behind the top of the
vehicle seat. See the section "Lower
Anchors and Tethers for CHildren (LATCH)
Restraint System" for the location of
approved tether anchorages in your vehicle.
1. Look behind the seating position
where you plan to install the child
restraint to find the tether anchorage.
You may need to move the seat forward
to provide better access to the tether
anchorage. If there is no top tether
anchorage for that seating position,
move the child restraint to another
position in the vehicle if one is available.
2. Route the tether strap to provide the
most direct path for the strap between
the anchor and the child seat. If your
vehicle is equipped with adjustable rear
head restraints, raise the head restraint,
and where possible, route the tether
strap under the head restraint and
between the two posts. If not possible,
lower the head restraint and pass the
tether strap around the outboard side of
the head restraint.
3. Attach the tether strap hook of the
child restraint to the top tether
anchorage as shown in the diagram.
