SAFETY
Installing a Child Seat with a Lap/Shoulder Seat Belt
n
1. Place the child seat on the vehicle seat.
2. Route the seat belt through the child seat
according to the seat maker's instructions, and
insert the latch plate into the buckle. Insert the
latch plate fully until it clicks.
3. Slowly pull the shoulder part of the belt all the
way out until it stops. This activates the lockable
retractor.
4. Let the seat belt completely wind up into the
retractor, then try to pull it out to make sure the
retractor is locked. If you are able to pull the
shoulder belt out, the lockable retractor is not
activated. Pull the seat belt all the way out, and
repeat steps 3 – 4.
5. Grab the shoulder part of the seat belt near the
buckle, and pull up to remove any slack from
the lap part of the belt. When doing this, place
your weight on the child seat and push it into the
vehicle seat.
6. Make sure the child seat is firmly secured by
rocking it forward and back and side to side; little
movement should be felt.
7. Make sure any unused seat belt that a child
can reach is buckled, the lockable retractor
is activated, and the belt is fully retracted and
locked.
To deactivate a lockable retractor, release the
buckle and allow the seat belt to wind up all the
way.

Adding Security with a Tether
n
Two tether anchorage points are provided behind the rear outer seating positions
and one in the ceiling for the rear center. If you have a child restraint system that
comes with a tether but can be installed with a seat belt, the tether may be used for
additional security.
1. Using an outer anchor: Raise the head restraint
to its highest position, then route the tether strap
through the head restraint legs. Make sure the
strap is not twisted.
Using the center anchor: Raise the head restraint
to its highest position, then open the anchor cover.
Make sure the strap is not twisted. Secure the
tether strap hook onto the anchor.
2. Secure the tether strap hook onto the anchor.
3. Route the tether strap through the head restraint
legs. Make sure the strap is not twisted.
4. Tighten the tether strap as instructed by the child
seat manufacturer.
