Safety Tips; Transporting Passengers - Alfa Romeo STELVIO 2021 Owner's Manual

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.

anchorage position directly behind the
child seat to secure a child restraint top
tether strap.
If your vehicle is equipped with a split rear

seat, make sure the tether strap does not
slip into the opening between the seat-
backs as you remove slack in the strap.
