92 SEATS AND RESTRAINTS
4. 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 child restraint system has
a lock-off mechanism, use it to
secure the vehicle safety belt.
5. If the child restraint has a top
tether, follow the child restraint
manufacturer's instructions
regarding the use of the top
tether. See ISOFIX Child Restraint
Systems 0 90 for more
information.
6. Before placing a child in the
child restraint, make sure it is
securely held in place. Push and
pull the child restraint in
different directions to be sure it
is secure.
To remove the child restraint,
unfasten the vehicle safety belt and let
it return to the stowed position. If the
top tether is attached to a top tether
anchor, disconnect it.
Securing Child Restraints
(With the Seat Belt in the

Front Seat)

This vehicle has airbags. A rear seat is
a safer place to secure a
forward-facing child restraint. See
Where to Put the Restraint 0 86.
In addition, the vehicle has a
passenger sensing system which is
designed to turn off the front
outboard passenger frontal airbag
under certain conditions. See
Passenger Sensing System 0 75 and
Passenger Airbag Status
Indicator 0 120.
Warning
Do not use a rearward facing child
restraint on a seat protected by an
airbag in front of it!
Danger
When using a child restraint system
on the front passenger seat, the
airbag systems for the front
passenger seat must be deactivated;
if not, the triggering of the airbags
poses a risk of fatal injury to the
child.
This is especially the case if
rear-facing child restraint systems
are used on the front
passenger seat.
