Impact Absorbing Tether
Failure to follow the guidelines below may cause the child
seat not to perform as intended.
• The tether must be used at all times when installing
this child seat forward-facing� Using the tether will
improve the stability of your child seat and reduce the
risk of injury.
• Attach the tether only to tether anchors identified by your
vehicle manufacturer as tether anchorage points. Only use
the designated tether anchor for each seating position.
• If your vehicle does not currently have a tether anchor
attachment, refer to your vehicle owner's manual or
contact your vehicle man u fac tur er for assistance. DO
NOT modify your vehicle without advice from your
vehicle manufacturer.
• Store the tether by attaching the top tether hook to the
hook on the seat back (see Features page 2). Once
attached remove the slack by pulling strap through
adjuster.
Tether anchor locations vary from
vehicle to vehicle. Check your vehicle
owner's manual for tether anchor
capacities and look for the tether
anchor symbol shown in the diagram
to help identify where the top tether
anchor points are located in your
vehicle.
The Tether as a Crash Indicator
The tether can indicate when the child seat has been in a
moderate or severe crash (see "Notes" on page 5) and
replacement of the child seat is necessary.
Figure 1 shows an example
of a tether acceptable for
continued use (provided
the child seat has not been
involved in a crash). The
colored stitching will be intact.
Figure 2 shows an example
of when the tether has been
damaged and is unacceptable
for continued use. If any of the
colored stitching has ripped,
the child seat is no longer
acceptable for use.
IMPORTANT:
involved in a moderate or severe crash, regardless of
whether the colored stitching has been ripped.
