Safety and Security Occupant safety Installation of infant and child restraint systems This vehicle is equipped with a tether anchorage for a top tether strap behind the passenger seat. Guide tether strap according to the child restraint manufacturer's instructions. Make sure the tether strap is not twisted. Warning! G Children too big for a toddler restraint must ride in seats using regular seat belts. Position the shoulder belt across chest and shoulder, not face or neck. A booster seat may be necessary to achieve proper seat belt positioning for children over 41 lb until they reach a height where a lap/shoulder belt fits properly without a booster. When the child restraint is not in use, remove it from the vehicle or secure it with the seat belt to prevent the child restraint from becoming a projectile in the event of an accident. Do not leave children unattended in the vehicle, even if the children are secured in a child restraint system. A child's unsupervised access to a vehicle could result in an accident and/or serious personal injury. 1 Cover of anchorage ring To have better access to the anchorage ring, move the passenger seat forward ( page 42). Remove cover 1 in direction of the arrow from anchorage ring 3. 2 Hook 3 Anchorage ring Securely fasten hook 2, which is part of the tether strap, to anchorage ring 3. For safety, make sure the hook has attached to the ring beyond the safety catch, as illustrated. 79
