Forward-Facing Installation With Seat Belt - Evenflo Tribute Owner's Manual

WARNING
5
• Failure to follow these instructions could result in
serious injury to your child or other vehicle occupants.
• The tether strap is for forward-facing use only.
Connect the tether hook
behind the vehicle seat, as shown. (Please consult
H
your vehicle owner's manual, as tether anchor locations
may vary.) Pull the strap
securely.
WARNING
• To avoid a strangulation hazard, you
roll or fold excess tether strap and secure with the
strap/rubber band.
• Attach the tether hook to the storage clip when not
in use. This will keep an unused tether or tether hook
from hitting someone during a crash.
After adjusting the top tether strap, you may have excess
strap; DO NOT cut it off. If you do, it may not be long
enough to use in another vehicle. Instead, tightly roll
up the excess tether strap and place the rubber band
around the bundle.
Note: Refer to your vehicle owner's manual for the
location of the tether anchor brackets in your vehicle.
Older vehicles may not come equipped with anchor
bracket hardware. Check with your vehicle dealer. If you
have questions regarding tether anchors which are not
addressed by the vehicle owner's manual, or answered
by an authorized dealer/vehicle manufacturer call
Evenflo's ParentLink at 1-800-233-5921 (U.S.) or
