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.
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.
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.
Canadian law requires that child restraints have a top
strap, and that the strap be anchored.
If your child restraint has a top strap, your dealer can
obtain a kit with anchor hardware and installation
instructions specifically designed for this vehicle. The
dealer can then install the anchor for you.
In
Canada,
this work
will
be done for you free
of
charge. Or,
you
may install the anchor yourself using
the
instructions
provided
in
the kit.
