the bottom of the seat back.
• Clip tether hook to tether anchor. Ensure that the hook is firmly engaged and
secure.
• Remove all slack and tighten tether strap according to child restraint manufacturer’s

installed with the lower anchors or the vehicle seat belt.
Installing The Child Restraint Using The Vehicle Seat Belts
• To install a child restraint, first, pull enough of the seat belt webbing from the retractor to route it through the belt path of the child restraint and slide the latch plate into the
buckle.
• Next, extract all the seat belt webbing out of the retractor and then allow the belt to retract into the retractor. Finally, pull on any excess webbing to tighten the lap portion
around the child restraint. Any seat belt system will loosen with time, so check the belt
occasionally, and pull it tight if necessary.
• Once you have completed securing the child restraint with the seat belt, secure the top tether strap.

• In a collision, an unrestrained child, even a tiny baby, can become a projectile inside thevehicle. The force required to hold even an infant on your lap could become so great
that you could not hold the child, no matter how strong you are. The child and others
could be severely injured or killed. Any child riding in your vehicle should be in a proper
restraint for the child's size.
• Failure to comply with the following conditions could result in you and others being severely injured or killed:
• Be certain that the seat cushion is locked securely into position before using the seat. An improperly latched seat cushion could passengers to be severely injured or killed.
• An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to increased head motion and possible injury to the child. Use only the anchor positions directly behind the child seat to secure a
