Any seat belt system will loosen with time, so check the
belt occasionally, and pull it tight if necessary.

If the buckle or the cinching latch plate is too close to the
belt path opening of the child restraint, you may have
trouble tightening the seat belt. If this happens, discon-
nect the latch plate from the buckle and twist the short
buckle-end belt up to three full turns to shorten it. Insert
the latch plate into the buckle with the release button
facing out, away from the child restraint. Repeat steps 4
to 6, above, to complete the installation of the child
restraint.

If the belt still cannot be tightened after you shorten the
buckle, disconnect the latch plate from the buckle, turn
the buckle around one half turn, and insert the latch plate
into the buckle again. If you still cannot make the child
restraint installation tight, try a different seating position.

Installing Child Restraints Using The Top Tether
Anchorage

1. Look behind the seating position where you

plan to install the child restraint to find the
tether anchorage. You may need to move the
seat forward to provide better access to the

tether anchorage. If there is no top tether anchorage
for that seating position (see the charts above), move
the child restraint to another position in the vehicle if
one is available.

2. Rotate or lift the cover to access the anchor directly

behind the seat where you are placing the child re-
straint.

3. Route the tether strap to provide the most direct path

for the strap between the anchor and the child seat.
If your vehicle is equipped with adjustable rear head
restraints, raise the head restraint, and where possible,
