4. To lock the seat belt, pull down on the shoulder part of the belt until you have

pulled all the seat belt webbing out of the retractor. Then, allow the webbing to
retract back into the retractor. As the webbing retracts, you will hear a clicking
sound. This means the seat belt is now in the Automatic Locking mode.

5. Try to pull the webbing out of the retractor. If it is locked, you should not be able

to pull out any webbing. If the retractor is not locked, repeat the last step.

6. Finally, pull up on any extra webbing to tighten the lap portion around the child

restraint while you push the child restraint rearward and downward into the
vehicle seat.

7. If the child restraint has a top tether strap and the seating position has a top tether

anchorage, connect the tether strap to the anchorage and tighten the tether strap.
See below for directions to attach a tether anchor.

8. Test that the child restraint is installed tightly by pulling back and forth on the

child seat at the belt path. It should not move more than 1 inch (25.4 mm) in any
direction.

Installing The Top Tether Strap (With Either Lower Anchors Or Vehicle Seat Belt):

When installing a forward-facing child restraint, always secure the top tether strap,
up to the tether anchor weight limit, whether the child restraint is installed with the
lower anchors or the vehicle seat belt.

Tether Anchorage Installation

1. Route the tether strap to provide the most direct path for the strap between the

anchor and the child seat, routing it over the center of the head restraint.

2. Attach the tether strap hook of the child restraint to the top tether anchorage and

remove slack in the tether strap according to the child restraint manufacturer’s
instructions.

WARNING!

Securely lock the seat cushion into position before using the seat. Otherwise, the
seat will not provide the proper stability for child seats and/or passengers. An
improperly latched seat cushion could cause serious injury.
