Essential Safety Equipment

Child Restraint

Form No. 8R21-EA-02G

Child-Restraint Tether Usage:
Using the tether to secure anything 
but a child-restraint system is 
dangerous. This could weaken or 
damage the tether or tether anchor 
and result in injury. Use the tether 
and tether anchor only for a child-
restraint system.

Incorrect Positioning of the Tether 
Strap:
Positioning the tether strap on top of 
the head restraint is dangerous. In a 
collision, the head restraint could 
bend or break. This will cause the 
strap to loosen. The child-restraint 
system could move and injure the 
child or someone else. Always 
position the tether strap between the 
head restraint and the seatback.
