TOP TETHER STRAP CHILD RE- STRAINT

If the manufacturer of your child restraint requires the use of a top tether strap, it must be secured to an anchor point.

WARNING

.Child restraint anchor points are de- signed to withstand only those loads imposed by correctly fitted child re- straints. Under no circumstances are they to be used for adult seat belts or harnesses.

.If the cargo cover contacts the top tether

strap when it is attached to the top tether anchor, remove the cargo cover from the vehicle or secure it on the cargo floor below its attachment loca- tion. If the cargo cover is not removed, it may damage the top tether strap during a collision. Your child could be seriously injured or killed in a collision if the child restraint top tether strap is damaged.

.Do not allow cargo to contact the top tether strap when it is attached to the top tether anchor. Properly secure the cargo so it does not contact the top tether strap. Cargo that is not properly secured or cargo that contacts the top tether strap may damage the top tether strap during a collision. Your child could be seriously injured or killed in a collision if the child restraint top tether strap is damaged.

Top tether anchor point locations

Anchor points are located on the back of each seatback for all three seating posi- tions of the rear seat as shown.

Installing top tether strap

First, secure the child restraint with the LATCH system (rear outboard seat posi- tions only) or the seat belt, as applicable.
