Using a Seat Belt Locking Clip
Except for European models
On vehicles without lockable retractor
fitted to the seat where the child is
positioned
Always use a seat belt locking clip
when you secure a child restraint
system to your vehicle with a lap/
shoulder belt. This helps prevent the
restraint system from shifting
position or overturning.
A locking clip is usually included
with the child restraint system. If
you need a clip, contact the seat's
manufacturer or a store that sells
child restraints.
If it is necessary to put a front facing
child restraint system in the front,
move the vehicle seat as far to the
rear as possible, be sure the child
restraint system is firmly secured to
the vehicle, and the child is properly
strapped in the restraint system (see
page 43 ).
To install a locking clip, do the
following:
1. Place the child restraint in the seat
with a lap/shoulder belt. Route the
lap/shoulder belt through the
restraint according to the seat
manufacturer's instructions.
2. Insert the latch plate into the
buckle. Pull on the shoulder part
of the belt to make sure there is
no slack in the lap portion.
3. Tightly grasp the belt near the
latch plate. Pinch both parts of the
belt together so they won't slip
through the latch plate. Unbuckle
the seat belt.
Installing a Child Restraint System
Install the locking clip as shown.
4.
Position the clip as close as
possible to the latch plate.
5. Insert the latch plate into the
buckle. Push and pull on the child
restraint system to verify that it is
held firmly in place. If it is not,
repeat these steps until the
restraint is secure.
