7. To tighten the belt, push down on the child restraint,

pull the shoulder portion of the belt to tighten the lap
portion of the belt and feed the shoulder belt back
into the retractor. If you are using a forward-facing
child restraint, you may find it helpful to use your
knee to push down on the child restraint as you
tighten the belt.

8. Tighten the top tether. See Lower Anchors and

Tethers for Children (LATCH) on page 1-43.

9. Push and pull the child restraint in different

directions to be sure it is secure.

If the airbag is off, the off indicator in the passenger
airbag status indicator will come on and stay on when
the vehicle is started.

If a child restraint has been installed and on indicator
is lit, turn the vehicle off. Remove the child restraint from
the vehicle and reinstall the child restraint.

If, after reinstalling the child restraint and restarting the
vehicle, the on indicator is still lit, check to make sure that
the vehicle’s seatback is not pressing the child restraint
into the seat cushion. If this happens, slightly recline
the vehicle’s seatback and adjust the seat cushion if
possible. Also make sure the child restraint is not trapped
under the vehicle head restraint. If this happens, adjust
the head restraint.

Remove any additional material from the seat such as
blankets, cushions, seat covers, seat heaters or seat
massagers before reinstalling or securing the child
restraint.

If the off symbol is still not lit, secure the child in the
child restraint in a rear seat position in the vehicle,
if one is available, and check with your dealer/retailer.

To remove the child restraint, unbuckle the vehicle’s
safety belt and let it go back all the way. If the top tether
is attached to a top tether anchor, disconnect it.
