Installing a Child Seat with a Lap/

When not using the LATCH system,
all child seats must be secured to the

shoulder belt.

In addition, the lap/shoulder belts in
all seating positions except the
driver's have a lockable retractor that
must be activated to secure a child
seat.

seating position, route the belt
through the child seat according to
the seat maker's instructions, then
insert the latch plate into the
buckle.
