Top Tether - Features
This child restraint has a tether strap permanently attached to the back of the restraint.
Always use this tether strap.
Connect the tether strap to the built-in anchorage tting in the vehicle.
If there is not a built-in anchorage install the anchor tting supplied with this restraint
by following the instructions on the next pages.
In some vehicles without a xed parcel shelf an extension tether strap may be
required. These are available in several different lengths and can be obtained from
child restraint retail outlets.
The anchor tting must be aligned as
shown unless stated otherwise in the
vehicle owners handbook.
Tether Anchorage Installation
Most cars without built-in anchorages
have several threaded holes to t the
tether anchorage to.
Refer to the vehicle owners handbook
for information on the location of these
points.
The threaded hole for the
anchorage bolt may have a
plastic cover over it
Using the bolt provided attach the anchor
tting to the mounting point behind where
the child restraint is to be installed.
See more detailed information on the next
page.
IMPORTANT
Some older vehicles may not have built-in anchorages or threaded holes.
A new hole may need to be drilled for the anchorage components supplied.
Joie recommend this is done by child restraint tting station or licenced motor
mechanic.
If a tting station or mechanic is not available follow the instructions on page 17.
Most cars have built-in anchorage points,
often in the back of the seat.
Always connect the snap hook securely
to this point.
