Child-restraint Systems

Always attach the tether strap to the correct tether anchor position.

Attaching the tether strap to the incorrect tether anchor position is dangerous. In a collision, the tether strap could come off and loosen the child-restraint system. If the child-restraint system moves it could result in death or injury to the child.

Use the tether and tether anchor only for a child-restraint system.

Using the tether or tether anchor to secure anything but a child-restraint system is dangerous. This could weaken or damage the tether or tether anchor and result in injury.

Always remove the head restraint and install child-restraint system (except when installing a backless booster seat).

Installing a child-restraint system without removing the head restraint is dangerous. The child-restraint system cannot be installed correctly which may result in death or injury to the child in a collision.

If the top tether strap does not reach the anchor bracket, purchase and use an extension strap provided by the CRS manufacturer.

1. Tether strap

2. Anchor bracket

3. Forward

 

Always install the head restraint and adjust it to the appropriate position after removing the child-restraint system (except when installing a backless booster seat).

Driving with the head restraint removed is dangerous as impact to the occupant's head cannot be prevented during emergency braking or in a collision, which could result in a serious accident, injury or death.
