• To avoid a strangulation hazard, you
MUST
tightly roll or
fold excess tether strap and secure with the strap/
rubber band.
• Attach the tether hook to the storage clip when not in
use. This will keep an unused tether from hitting
someone during a crash.
WARNING
After adjusting the top tether strap, you may have
excess strap;
DO NOT
cut it off. If you do, it may not be
long enough to use in another vehicle. Instead,
tightly
roll up the excess tether strap and place the rubber
band around the bundle.
Note:
Refer to your
vehicle owner’s manual
for the
location of the tether anchor bracket in your vehicle. Older
vehicles may not come equipped with anchor bracket
hardware. Check with your vehicle dealer.
