GETTING STARTED
6. Try to pull the webbing out of the retractor. If it is locked, you should not be able to
pull out any webbing. If the retractor is not locked, repeat step 5.
7. Finally, pull up on any excess webbing to tighten the lap portion around the child re-
straint while you push the child restraint rearward and downward into the vehicle
seat.
8. If the child restraint has a top tether strap and the seating position has a top tether
anchorage, connect the tether strap to the anchorage and tighten the tether strap.
See the section "Installing Child Restraints Using the Top Tether Anchorage" for direc-
tions to attach a tether anchor.
9. Test that the child restraint is installed tightly by pulling back and forth on the child
seat at the belt path. It should not move more than 1 inch (25.4 mm) in any direc-
tion.
Any seat belt system will loosen with time, so check the belt occasionally, and pull it tight
if necessary.
Installing Child Restraints Using The Top Tether Anchorage:
Do not attach a tether strap for a rear-facing car seat to any location in front of the
car seat, including the seat frame or a tether anchorage. Only attach the tether strap of
a rear-facing car seat to the tether anchorage that is approved for that seating position,
located behind the top of the vehicle seat. See the section "Lower Anchors and Tethers
for CHildren (LATCH) Restraint System" for the location of approved tether anchor-
ages in your vehicle.
1. Look behind the seating position where you plan to install the child restraint to find
the tether anchorage. You may need to move the seat forward to provide better ac-
cess to the tether anchorage. If there is no top tether anchorage for that seating posi-
tion, move the child restraint to another position in the vehicle if one is available.
