• 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.
WARNING
• To avoid a strangulation hazard, you
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 bracket 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 that are not
addressed by the vehicle owner's manual or
answered by an authorized dealer/vehicle manufacturer,
