airbag is fitted, the airbag must be disconnected according to your vehicle
manufacturer instruction. Note that some vehicles require an authorized service
centre to disonnect the airbag.
2. Lower Tether Ancorages4 Info
Lower tether anchorages (LTA) are used to enhance the protection of children in
cars by providing a firm and stable installation for extended rear-facing belt
attached car seats. This increases the safety for your child in all types of collisions:
Lower tethers ensure a perfect fit and easy installation in vehicles with pre-installed
lower tether anchorages. Pre-installed lower tether anchorages in vehicles are
often found on the seat rails attached to the floor, but other positions are also
used. Check your vehicle’s instruction manual for more information on usable
anchor points. If your vehicle has no pre-installed lower tether anchorages, HERO-
XL comes with additional lower tether anchorage straps (S) included that can be
installed in your vehicle. See this manual for instructions of installation.
IMPORTANT: Never use HERO-XL without the lower tethers. They are an
important safety feature and must always be used when installing your car seat.

2.5 Installing lower tether anchorage straps
If your vehicle has no suitable pre-installed lower tether anchorages (Fig. 1), HERO-
XL comes with lower tether anchorage straps that can be installed in your vehicle
(Fig. 2). Depending on your vehicle and the seat position where you choose to
install your car seat, there are various possible anchorage points to use for
installing the anchorage straps (see next page).
To install the lower tether anchorage straps (S), simply route the strap around the
chosen anchorage point and thread the metal anchorage through one of the slots
on the strap itself (Fig. 3). The anchorage strap has several slots to use. Make sure
to use the slot as close as possible to the metal anchorage, thus installing the metal
anchorage as close to the vehicle floor as possible. Once this is done, pull on the
metal anchorage to tightenthe strap and repeat the process for the other strap.
Always use two anchorage points when installing HERO-XL and choose
anchorage points that are separated as this gives a more stable installation.
