You can not use LATCH
with this product. You will
use your vehicle's belts
only. In most cases you
will use the lap/shoulder
belt combination. There
are some vehicle belts
that will not work with a
child restraint or will
require special attention.
See next page for specific
instructions.

Knowing Your Vehicle Belts
Not all vehicle belts will work with this child restraint.
You must determine if your vehicles belts are compatible
with this child restraint. If you will use the LATCH
system, refer to the LATCH section.
ELR - Emergency Locking Retractor Belts
Definition:These belts only lock in a sudden stop or
crash.To see if you have this type of belt, pull on the lap
belt, let it return part way, then pull on it again. If it moves
freely, it is an ELR belt and the child restraint could work
loose during normal driving. Refer to your vehicle owner's
manual.
ELR shoulder belts either require a locking clip or cannot
be used with any child restraint.
ELR lap-only belts must be replaced with a manual belt;
contact your vehicle dealer. A locking clip will not correct
this problem.

must install a lap belt to secure a child restraint.You may
also need to install an extra lap belt for an automatic 3-
point belt. Refer to the vehicles owner's manual. A
locking clip will not correct this problem.
