Rear Facing Tether Connector Strap
IMPORTANT:
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 the
seat is too large for the hook. Use the tether connector strap 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 that the strap can be wrapped
around.
2 Loop the strap around the metal

anchor (Fig. D).
3 Take the metal D-ring and thread it
through the webbing loop on the other
end of the strap.
Pull the metal D-ring all the way through until the strap is tight

around the metal anchor.
5 Use the D-ring as an attachment point for the hook on the tether
strap. Refer to pages 23–24 for instructions on using the tether.
