Top
Strap
If
your child restraint has
a
top strap, it should be
anchored.
If
you need to have an anchor installed, you
can ask your Pontiac dealer to put it in for you. If you
want
to
install an anchor yourself, your dealer can tell
you how to do it.
The place where the anchor
has
to
go
is
quite
close to your fuel
tank.
If
the anchor isn’t
installed correctly, it can make
a
hole in the fuel
tank
--
either then, or in a later collision.
Gasoline could leak out and be ignited, and
people in the vehicle or outside
it
could be badly
burned. Don’t install the anchor yourself unless
you know you can do it correctly.
For
cars first sold in Canada, child restraints with a top
strap
must be anchored according to Canah law.
Your dealer can obtain the hardware kit and install it
for
you, or you may install it yourself using
the
instructions
provided in the kit.
Use the tether hardware kit available from the dealer.
The hardware, and installation instructions were
specifically designed for
this
vehicle.
If
you have a convertible, don’t use a restraint that
has
a
top strap in your vehicle because the top strap anchor
cannot be installed properly.
