vehicle belts according to the instructions in
this manual.

NOTE: Store the tether connector strap in the
tether pouch when not in use.
WARNING! Only use the tether connector strap for a rear-
facing tether installation.
Find a fixed vehicle anchor point that is
bolted to the floor.
• If you cannot find an acceptable location
to create an anchor point, contact the
vehicle manufacturer to identify a suitable
tether connection point.
Route the tether connector strap around
the fixed vehicle anchor point.
Take the metal D-ring and thread it
through the webbing loop on the other
end of the strap (Fig. D).
Pull the metal D-ring all the way through until
the strap is tight.
Use the D-ring as an attachment point for
the hook on the tether strap.
