Rear-Facing Tether Connector Strap

WARNING! Only use tether connector strap for rear-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 seat is too large

for the hook. Use rear-facing tether connector strap (fig. D) 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) to which the strap can be wrapped around.

2￿ If you cannot find an acceptable location to create an anchor point, contact vehicle manufacturer to identify a suitable tether connection point.

3￿ Loop strap around metal anchor.

4￿ Take metal D-ring and thread it through webbing loop on other end of strap.

5￿ Pull metal D-ring all the way through until strap is tight around metal anchor.

6￿ Use D-ring as an attachment point for hook on tether strap.
