Top Strap {CAUTION: A child in a rear-facing child restraint can be seriously injured or killed if the passenger's airbag inflates. This is because the back of the rear-facing child restraint would be very close to the inflating airbag. Be sure to turn off the airbag before using a rear-facing child restraint in the passenger seat position. Keep in mind that an unsecured child restraint can move around in a collision or sudden stop and injure people in the vehicle. Be sure to properly secure any child restraint in your vehicle - even when no child is in it. Some child restraints have a top strap, or "top tether," which can help hold the child restraint during a crash. For it to work, a top strap must be properly anchored to the vehicle. Some child restraints with a top strap are designed to be used whether or not the top strap is anchored. Others require that the top strap be anchored. Also, a national or local law may require that the top strap be anchored. If your child restraint top strap must be anchored, then do not use the restraint in this vehicle, because in it, a top strap cannot be properly anchored. 1-27
