Because every vehicle model is different, sometimes
you cannot find a location to properly anchor the
tether, or the structural part of seat is too large
for the hook. Use rear-facing tether connector strap (fig. D) to assist in
creating an anchor point.
Find a fixed vehicle seat belt anchor or vehicle seat leg (that is bolted
to the floor) to which the strap can be wrapped around.
If you cannot find an acceptable location to create an anchor point,
contact vehicle manufacturer to identify a suitable tether connection
point.
Loop strap around metal anchor.
Take metal D-ring and thread it through webbing loop on other end
of strap.
Pull metal D-ring all the way through until strap is tight around metal
anchor.
Use D-ring as an attachment point for hook on tether strap.

NOTE:
The rear-facing recline angle of the child restraint should be 30º-45º
from vertical (not to exceed 45º from vertical) when car is parked
on a level surface.
The rear-facing recline angle can be adjusted by placing a rolled
towel or pool noodle in the crease of the vehicle seat, and restraint
can be stabilized by tightening tether as shown in figure C, using
anchor point 3.
It may be necessary to loosen tether and vehicle seat belt before
adjusting recline position.
