_& WARNING
Improper use of tether anchorages or low
er anchorages can cause serious personal
injury in a crash.
- Always carefully follow the child re
straint manufacturer's instructions for
proper installation and use of child re
straint systems.
- Never use the
LATCH or tether anchorag
es to attach safety belts or other kinds of
occupant restraints.
- Child restraint tether attachments and
lower attachments are only designed to
secure a child restraint that has been
equipped to use these anchorages.
- Tether anchorages and lower anchorages
are designed to withstand only those
loads imposed by correctly fitted child
restraints. Under no circumstances can
they be used safely for adult or child
safety belts or harnesses.
- Never mount more than one child re
straint to a single tether or to a lower an
chorage point. Attaching two child re
straints to a single anchorage point can
cause the anchorage to fail and cause se
rious personal injury in a crash.
(D Note
-Remove the guidance fixtures before
folding the rear seatback to prevent
damaging the seat cushion.
- If you leave the guidance fixtures instal
led for several days, they could leave a
mark on the upholstery on the seat cush
ion and backrest in the area that the
guidance fixtures were installed. The up
holstery would also be permanently
stretched around the guidance fixtures.
This applies especially to leather seats.
