even be thrown from the vehicle. Use only the
anchor positions directly behind the child seat to
secure a child restraint top tether strap. Follow the
instructions below. See your dealer for help if nec-
essary.

inside or outside of a vehicle. In a collision, people
riding in these areas are more likely to be seriously
injured or killed.

vehicle that is not equipped with seats and seat belts.
Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and
using a seat belt properly. 40-20-40 Front Seat
