• Once you have completed securing the child restraint with the seat belt, secure the

top tether strap. The tether strap should be routed over the center top of the head
restraint.

WARNING!

• In a collision, an unrestrained child, even a tiny baby, can become a

projectile inside the vehicle. 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.

• Improper installation of a child restraint to the LATCH anchorages can lead to

failure of an infant or child restraint. The child could be severely injured or
killed. Follow the manufacturer’s directions exactly when installing an infant
or child restraint.

• 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 child restraint top tether strap.

• Rearward-facing child seats must never be used in the front seat of a vehicle

with a front passenger airbag. An airbag deployment could cause severe
injury or death to infants in this position.
