strap for rear-facing tether installation.
Because every vehicle model is different, sometimes
you cannot find a location to properly anchor the
tether, or the structural part of seat is too large
for the hook. Use rear-facing tether connector strap (fig. D) to assist in
creating an anchor point.
1 Find a fixed vehicle seat belt anchor or vehicle seat leg (that is bolted
to the floor) to which the strap can be wrapped around.
2 If you cannot find an acceptable location to create an anchor point,
contact vehicle manufacturer to identify a suitable tether connection
point.
3 Loop strap around metal anchor.

of strap.
5 Pull metal D-ring all the way through until strap is tight around metal
anchor.
