CAUTION
When you install a child restraint system, follow the manufactur-
er's instructions supplied with it. After installing the child re-
straint system, check to ensure that it is held securely in posi-
tion. If it is not held tight and secure, the danger of your child
suffering personal injury in the event of an accident may be in-
creased.
1. Use the "Child" marks to locate the two lower anchorages (bars)
for the position where you want to install the child restraint system.
NOTE
On a vehicle with a built-in child restraint, if you are required to
use a child restraint system and the built-in child restraint at the
same time, it is recommended that you install the child restraint
system on the rear left side (behind the driver's seat). The built-in
child restraint is located toward the right side. For this reason,
certain child restraint systems will be tilted if installed on the
right side and they cannot be properly secured.
2. While following the instructions supplied by the child restraint sys-
tem manufacturer, connect the connectors of the child restraint sys-
tem to the lower anchorages.
When the connectors are fastened, make sure that the adjacent seat-
belts are not caught.
If your child restraint system is of a flexible attachment type (which
uses tether straps to connect the child restraint system proper to the
lower anchorages), firmly tighten the straps after connecting the con-
nectors.
3. Connect the top tether hook to the tether anchorage and firmly
tighten the tether.
For information on how to set the top tether, read the following "Top
tether anchorages".
4. Before seating a child in the child restraint system, try to move seat
back and forth to verify that it is held securely in position.
If you have any question concerning this type of child restraint sys-
tem, ask your SUBARU dealer.
