are located in recesses in the rear window shelf
r=> fig. 150.
A tether is a straight or V-shaped strap that at

anchorage points in the vehicle.
The purpose of the tether is to reduce the for
ward movement of the child restrain t in a crash,
i n order to help reduce the risk of head injury
that cou ld be caused by striking the vehicle inte
rior.
Forward facing child restra ints manufactured af
te r September 1, 1999 , are requi red by U.S . fed
era l reg ulations to comply with child head move
ment performance requirements . T hese new per
formance requirements make a tether necessary
on most new child safety seats.

Advanced Airbag System work as though an
adult were on the seat and dep loy the Ad
vanced Airbag when it must be supp ressed
ca using se rious o r even fatal injur y to the
c hild.
