chor point in the vehicle. This anchor point
is located on the rear of the rear seat back-
rest and of the front passenger seat backrest

(identied with the symbol ) and provides
better retention ›››Fig.42, ›››Fig.43.
The objective of this system is to reduce for-
ward movements of the child seat in a head-on
collision, to reduce the risk of injuries that may
be caused to the child’s head by impacting
against any element of the inside of the vehi-
cle.
Use of Top Tether on rearward-facing child
restraints
Currently, there are very few rearward-facing
child restraints with Top Tether. The car seat
manufacturer's instructions for proper installa-
tion of the Top Tether should be read carefully
and followed.
