WARNING - Tether strap
If the tether strap is secured
incorrectly, the child restraint
seat may not be restrained
properly in the event of a colli-
sion. Do not mount more than
one child restraint seat to a teth-
er anchorage, since the anchor-
age can then fail in a collision.
WARNING - Child
restraint check
Check that the child restraint
system is secure by pushing
and pulling it in different direc-
tions. Incorrectly fi tted child
restraints may swing, twist, tip
or come away causing death or
injury.
WARNING - Child
restraint anchorage
•Child restraint anchorages are
designed to withstand only
those loads imposed by cor-
rectly fitted child restraints.
Under no circumstances are
they to be used for adult seat
belts or harnesses or for
attaching other items or
equipment to the vehicle.
• The tether strap may not work
properly if attached some-
where other than the correct
tether anchor.
