!
WARNING:
The top tether must always be used to
secure the child seat.
The top of the child seat is connected by
a short strap to the top tether bracket to
prevent the seat from rotating about the
lower anchorages. The top tether
brackets are positioned on the rear parcel
shelf, under access covers, at the
center-line of each rear seating position.
Pass the top tether strap under the
vehicle rear head restraint to connect to
the top tether bracket on the parcel shelf.
Adjust the length of the top tether strap to
hold the top of the child seat against the
vehicle seat back.
Make sure the child seat is securely fitted,
and follow the additional check list on
page 74.

WARNING:
Child restraint anchorages are
designed to withstand only those loads
imposed by correctly fitted child seats.
Under no circumstances are they to be
used for adult seat belts, harnesses or
for attaching other items or equipment
to the vehicle.
