F. Installing Forward-Facing
The top anchorage strap (tether) is used for the

anchorage strap (tether) in the forward-facing position.
If your vehicle does not have an anchor bracket, please
see your dealer or a qualified mechanic and have one
installed. The top anchorage strap can greatly improve the
performance of this child restraint.

When the top anchorage
strap is not in use, attach
the top anchorage hook
(tether) to the base as
shown. Tighten tether to
remove the slack.
