Inspect this function before each use of
the child-restraint system. You should
not be able to pull the shoulder belt out
of the retractor while the system is in the
automatic locking mode. When you remove

tighten the tether strap.

WARNING
Use the tether and tether anchor only
for a child-restraint system:

weaken or damage the tether or tether
anchor and result in injury.

Always remove the head restraint and
install child-restraint system (Second-
