Place the child seat on the vehicle seat.
Route the seat belt through the child seat according
to the seat maker’s instructions, and insert the
latch plate into the buckle. Insert the latch plate
fully until it clicks.
Slowly pull the shoulder part of the belt all the
way out until it stops. This activates the lockable
retractor.
Let the seat belt completely wind up into the
retractor, then try to pull it out to make sure
the retractor is locked. If you are able to pull the
shoulder belt out, the lockable retractor is not
activated. Pull the seat belt all the way out, and
repeat steps 3 – 4.
Grab the shoulder part of the seat belt near the
buckle, and pull up to remove any slack from the
lap part of the belt. When doing this, place your
weight on the child seat and push it into the vehicle
seat.
Make sure the child seat is firmly secured by
rocking it forward and back and side to side; little
movement should be felt.
Make sure any unused seat belt that a child can
reach is buckled, the lockable retractor is activated,
and the belt is fully retracted and locked.

To deactivate a lockable retractor, release the buckle
and allow the seat belt to wind up all the way.

Protecting Larger Children

When a child is too big for a child seat, secure the child in a rear seat using the
lap/shoulder seat belt.
Have the child sit upright and all the way back, then ensure the following:

• The child’s knees bend comfortably over the edge of

the seat.

• The shoulder belt crosses between the child’s neck

and arm.

• The lap part of the seat belt is as low as possible,

touching the child’s thighs.

• The child can stay seated for the whole trip.

Adding Security with a Tether

A tether anchorage point is provided behind each rear seating position. A child
seat that is installed with a seat belt and comes with a tether can use the tether
for additional security.

1. Locate the appropriate tether anchorage point

and lift the cover.

2. raise the head restraint to its highest position,

then route the tether strap through the head
restraint legs. Make sure the strap is not twisted.

3. Secure the tether strap hook onto the anchor.

4. Tighten the tether strap as instructed by the child

seat manufacturer.
