WARNING
The child restraint anchor points are
designed 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 your child restraint has a top tether strap, it
must be secured to the provided anchor point.
Secure the child restraint with the center lap
belt or the lap portion of an outboard three-
point belt and latch the tether strap hook onto
the anchor bracket.
Secure the tether strap to the anchor bracket
which provides the straightest installation of
the tether strap.

facing child restraint in the front pas-
senger seat, move the passenger
seat to the rearmost position.
IA child restraint with a top tether
strap should not be used in the front
passenger seat.

ing a child restraint.
