WARNING
- Tether strap
If the tether strap is secured incor-
rectly, the child restraint seat may
not be restrained properly in the
event of a collision. Do not mount
more than one child restraint seat
to a tether anchorage, since the
anchorage can then fail in a colli-
sion.
WARNING
- Child restraint
Check that the child restraint sys-
tem is secure by pushing and
pulling it in different directions.
Incorrectly fitted child restraints
may swing, twist, tip or come away
causing death or injury.
WARNING
- Child restraint
anchorage
• Child restraint anchorages are
designed to withstand only those
loads imposed by correctly fitted
child restraints. Under no circum-
stances are they to be used for
adult seat belts or harnesses or
for attaching other items or
equipment to the vehicle.
• The tether strap may not work
properly if attached somewhere
other than the correct tether
anchor.

Child seat lower anchors
Some child seat manufacturers make
child restraint seats that are labeled as
LATCH or LATCH compatible. LATCH
stands for "Lower Anchors and Tethers
for Children". These seats include two
rigid or webbing mounted attachments
that connect to two lower anchors and a
tether anchors at specific seating posi-
tions in your vehicle. This type of child
restraint seat eliminates the need to use
seat belts to attach the child seat in the
rear seats.
