Child-restraint Systems

Always attach the tether strap to the correct tether anchor position.

Attaching the tether strap to the incorrect tether anchor position is dangerous. In a collision, the tether strap could come off and loosen the child-restraint system. If the child-restraint system moves it could result in death or injury to the child.

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

Using the tether or tether anchor to secure anything but a child-restraint system is dangerous. This could weaken or damage the tether or tether anchor and result in injury.

Always remove the head restraint and install child-restraint system (except when installing a backless booster seat).

Installing a child-restraint system without removing the head restraint is dangerous. The child-restraint system cannot be installed correctly which may result in death or injury to the child in a collision.

If the top tether strap does not reach the anchor bracket, purchase and use an extension strap provided by the CRS manufacturer.

(Except Mexico)

1 Tether strap

2 Anchor bracket

3 Forward

Always install the head restraint and adjust it to the appropriate position after removing the child-restraint system.

Driving with the head restraint removed is dangerous as impact to the occupant's head cannot be prevented during emergency braking or in a collision, which could result in a serious accident, injury or death.
