emergency locking mode before

occupants use the seat belts.

requires the use of a tether strap,

refer to the manufacturer's

instructions to hook and tighten the

tether strap.

WARNING

Use the tether and tether anchor only

for a child-restraint system:

Using the tether or tether anchor to

secure anything but a child-restraint

system is dangerous. This could

weaken or damage the tether or tether

anchor and result in injury.

Always remove the head restraint and

install child-restraint system (except

when installing a backless booster

Installing a child-restraint system

without removing the head restraint is

dangerous. The child-restraint system

cannot be installed correctly which

may result in death or injury to the

child in a collision.
