Do not secure a child seat in a position without a top
tether anchor if a national or local law requires that the
top tether be anchored, or if the instructions that
come with the child restraint say that the top strap must
be anchored.

In Canada, the law requires that forward-facing child
restraints have a top tether, and that the tether be
attached.

You will be using the lap-shoulder belt to secure the
child restraint in this position. Follow the instructions that
came with the child restraint.

1. Move the seat as far back as it will go before

securing the forward-facing child restraint.

When the passenger sensing system has turned
off the right front passenger’s frontal airbag, the off
indicator on the passenger airbag status indicator
should light and stay lit when you start the vehicle.
See Passenger Airbag Status Indicator on
page 3-31
.

2. Put the child restraint on the seat.

3. If your seat has a safety belt guide, remove the

safety belt from the guide on the head restraint
by sliding the webbing through the opening on the
guide. Do not secure the child restraint with the
safety belt routed through the guide.

4. Pick up the latch plate, and run the lap and shoulder

portions of the vehicle’s safety belt through or
around the restraint. The child restraint instructions
will show you how.

5. Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks.

Make sure the release button is positioned so you
would be able to unbuckle the safety belt quickly
if necessary.
