Never route a top tether strap over thetop of the head restraint. The strapshould be routed beneath the headrestraint.
Child restraint anchorages are designedto withstand only those loads imposed bycorrectly fitted child restraints. Under nocircumstances are they to be used foradult seat belts or harnesses. The ancho-rages are not able to withstand excessiveforces on them in the event of collision iffull harness seat belts or adult seat beltsare installed to them. An adult who uses abelt anchored in a child restraint anchor-age runs a great risk of suffering severeinjuries should a collision occur.
Do not install rear speakers that requirethe removal of the top tether anchors orinterfere with the proper use of the toptether strap.
