6. 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.
If the vehicle does not have a
rear seat and the child restraint
has a top tether, follow the child
restraint manufacturer's
instructions regrading the use of
the top tether. See Lower
Anchors and Tethers for Children
(LATCH System) on page 2-48
for more information.
7. Push and pull the child restraint
in different directions to be sure it
is secure.
To remove the child restraint,
unbuckle the vehicle safety belt and
let it return to the stowed position.
If you turned the airbag off with the
switch, turn on the right front
passenger airbag when you remove
the child restraint from the vehicle
unless the person who will be sitting
there is a member of a passenger
airbag risk group. See Airbag On-Off
Switch on page 2-35 for more
information, including important
safety information.

Securing Child Restraints

(Rear Seat Position)

When securing a child restraint in a
rear seating position, study the
instructions that came with the child
restraint to make sure it is compatible
with this vehicle.
If the child restraint has the LATCH
system, see Lower Anchors and
Tethers for Children (LATCH System)
on page 2-48 for how and where to
install the child restraint using
LATCH. If a child restraint is secured
in the vehicle using a safety belt and
it uses a top tether, see Lower
Anchors and Tethers for Children
(LATCH System) on page 2-48 for
top tether anchor locations.
Do not secure a child seat in a
position without a top tether anchor if
a national or local law requires that
the top tether be anchored, or if the
instructions that come with the child
restraint say that the top strap must
be anchored.
