3. Route the top tether strap under the head restraint and fasten its attachment to the anchorage.
WARNING
Be sure to fasten the child tether attachment correctly to the anchor. If it is not correctly fastened, the child seat may
not be properly restrained in the event of a collision.
4. Firmly tension the top tether strap according to the child restraint manufacturer's instructions. Tension the top tether
strap only after the lower anchor straps or the seat belt have been firmly tensioned.
See page 41
for on securing the child restraint to ISOFIX lower anchors.
WARNING
Never route a top tether strap over the top or around the head restraint. It should always be routed under the head
restraint.
Child restraint anchorages are designed to withstand only those loads imposed by correctly fitted child restraints.
Under no circumstances are they to be used for adult seat belts or harnesses. The anchorages are not able to
withstand excessive forces on them in the event of collision if full harness seat belts or adult seat belts are installed
to them. An adult who uses a belt anchored in a child restraint anchorage runs a great risk of suffering severe injuries
should a collision occur.
Do not install rear speakers that require the removal of the top tether anchors or interfere with the proper use of
the top tether strap.

Movement of the seat can be STOPPED at any time by pressing any button on the power seat control panel.
Do not adjust the seat while driving. The seat should be adjusted so that the brake pedal can be depressed fully. In
addition, position the seat as far rearward as comfort and control allow.
