4. Pull the shoulder belt all the way out of
the retractor to set the lock. When the
retractor lock is set, the belt can be
tightened but not pulled out of the
retractor.
5. 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. When installing a
forward-facing child restraint, it may be
helpful to use your knee to push down
on the child restraint as you tighten
the belt.
Try to pull the belt out of the retractor
to make sure the retractor is locked.
If the retractor is not locked, repeat
Steps 4 and 5.
6. If the child restraint has a top tether,
follow the child restraint manufacturer's
instructions regarding the use of the top
Seats and Restraints
tether. See Lower Anchors and Tethers
for Children (LATCH System) 0 76 for
more information on using the top
tether anchors.
7. Before placing a child in the child
restraint, make sure it is securely held in
place. To check, grasp the child restraint
at the seat belt path and attempt to
move it side to side and back and forth.
When the child restraint is properly
installed, there should be no more than
2.5 cm (1 in) of movement.
To remove the child restraint, unbuckle the
vehicle seat belt and let it return to the
stowed position. If the top tether is attached
to a top tether anchor, disconnect it.
For outboard rear seating positions, if the
child restraint cannot be installed properly
with the head restraint in place, the head
restraint may be removed. See your dealer
for assistance with removal, and store the
removed head restraint in a secure place.
When the child restraint is removed,
reinstall the head restraint before the
seating position is used. For reinstallation
instructions, see Head Restraint or Headrest
Removal and Reinstallation under Lower
Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH
System) 0 76.
