WARNING

Always attach the tether strap to the 

correct tether anchor position:

Attaching the tether strap to the 

incorrect tether anchor position is 

dangerous. In a collision, the tether 

strap could come off and loosen the 

child-restraint system. If the child-

restraint system moves it could result 

in death or injury to the child.

Always remove the head restraint and 

set the tether strap:

Routing the tether strap on top of 

the head restraint is dangerous. In a 

collision the tether strap could slide off 

the head restraint and loosen the child-

restraint system. The child-restraint 

system could move which may result in 

death or injury to the child.
