Top Tether belt anchor.
Child seats with a Top Tether system are fitted
with an additional belt for fastening to an an-
chor point in the vehicle. This anchor point is
located on the rear of the rear seat backrest
and of the front passenger seat backrest (iden-
tified with the symbol ) and provides better
retention ›››Fig.43, ›››Fig.44.
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 vehicle.
Use of Top Tether on rear-facing child re-
straints
Currently, there are very few rear-facing child
restraints with Top Tether. The car seat manu-
facturer's instructions for proper installation of
the Top Tether should be read carefully and
followed.
