SAFETY INFORMATION
n Installing a Child Seat with a Lap/Shoulder Seat Belt
A child seat can be installed with a lap/shoulder belt in any rear seat or, if
absolutely necessary, the front passenger seat.
1. Place the child seat on the vehicle
seat.
2. Route the seat belt through the
child seat according to the seat
manufacturer'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 retract a few
inches and check that the retractor
has switched modes by pulling on
the webbing. It should not pull out
again until it is reset by removing
the latch plate from the buckle. 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 restraint
system and push it into the vehicle
seat.

6. Make sure the child restraint
system is firmly secured by rocking
it forward and back, and side to
side; less than one inch of
movement should occur near the
seat belt.
7. Make sure any unused seat belt
that a child can reach is buckled.
The lockable retractor should be
activated and the seat belt 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
A tether anchorage point is provided
behind each rear seating position. If
you have a child seat that comes with
a tether but can be installed with a
seat belt, the tether may be used for
additional security.
1. Locate the appropriate tether anchorage point. Lift the cover.
