Is a top tether required on Frontier?

Child is 36lbs. Does the tether matter if it's installed with LATCH vs seatbelt?

It will be in a shuttle van (mini van). I have no idea what kind of van or where the tethers are. My manual is in the glovebox of my van-which is at the dealership being fixed.

it's required for a child over 65 lbs and when you use are using LATCH.

From page 13 of the manual (http://www.britaxusa.com/uploads/products/user-guides/9.pdf)
When using the child seat in harness mode:
• Britax recommends that the tether be used at all times when installing the child
seat. Using the tether will improve the stability of your child seat and reduce
the risk of injury.
• Always use the Versa-Tether for children weighing 65 – 80 lbs (29.5 – 36.3 kg).
IMPORTANT: You must use the Versa-Tether if installing the child seat
using the LATCH connectors.
