3. Check the Child Restraint System is
secure by pushing and pulling the seat
forward and back and side-to-side.
WARNING
Take the following precautions when
installing the top tether:
• Read and follow all installation
instructions provided with your Child
Restraint System.
• Never attach more than one Child
Restraint System to a single tether
anchor. This could cause the anchor or
attachment to come loose or break.
• Only attach the tether strap to the
correct tether anchor for that seating
position.
• Make sure that the Child Restraint
System anchors withstand the
combined weight of the child and the
child restraint system of less than 65
lbs. (30 kg) for each LATCH system.
Do not use them for adult seat belts,
harnesses, or for attaching other items
or equipment to the vehicle.
Securing a Child Restraint System
with a lap/shoulder belt
WARNING
Always place a rearward-facing Child
Restraint System in the rear seat of the
vehicle.
Placing a rearward-facing child restraint
in the front seat may result in serious
injury or death if the Child Restraint
System is struck by an inflating airbag.
When not using the LATCH system, all
Child Restraint Systems must be secured
to a rear seat using the lap/shoulder belt.
Automatic locking mode
OHI038145
Since all passenger seat belts move freely
under normal conditions and only lock
under extreme or emergency conditions
(emergency locking mode), you must
manually pull the seat belt all the way out
to shift the retractor to the Automatic
Locking mode to secure a Child Restraint
System.
The Automatic Locking mode will help
prevent the normal movement of the
child in the vehicle from causing the seat
belt to loosen and compromise the Child
Restraint System.
