SAFETY

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Installing a Child Seat with a Lap/Shoulder Seat Belt

1. Place the child seat on the vehicle seat.

2. 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.

3. Slowly pull the shoulder part of the belt all the

way out until it stops. This activates the lockable

retractor.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. Make sure the child seat is firmly secured by

rocking it forward and back and side to side; little

movement should be felt.

7. 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.

Adding Security with a Tether

A tether anchorage point is provided behind each rear seating position.

Regardless of whether it is installed with LATCH or a seat belt, a child seat that

comes with a tether should 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 according to the seat

maker’s instructions.
