Using the Rear Facing Tether Connector Strap

IMPORTANT: Only use the tether connector strap (Fig. D) 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 the seat is too large for

 

the hook. Use the tether connector strap

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 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.

4 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.
