WARNING!
When using the child seat in forward-facing mode, attach the Versa-

Tether only to tether anchors designated by the vehicle manufacturer
as tether anchorage points. Use of other locations is not approved
or permitted.
DO NOT modify the vehicle without advice from the vehicle
•
manufacturer if a tether anchorage is not available.

of injury.
If your vehicle does not currently have a tether anchor attachment,

refer to your vehicle owner’s manual or contact the vehicle
manufacturer for assistance.
