D-5 Using the Locking Clip
A locking clip will not fix all types of vehicle seat belt
problems. Review section D-4 and your vehicle's owner
manual for vehicle seat belt use with child restraints. The
locking clip is located on the back of the child restraint.
Do not use both the LATCH belt and vehicle belt
at the same time.
Use the locking clip ONLY when installing the child
restraint with out the base. The base has a built in lock
off system and will not require the use of the locking clip.
