D-4 Knowing Your Vehicle Belts
Review your vehicle owner's manual for vehicle seat belt use
with child restraints. This is your best source for information
concerning your vehicle.
Not all vehicle belts will work with this child restraint. This
child restraint must be tightly locked in place at all times,
during travel. You must determine if your vehicle's belts are
compatible with this child restraint.
Vehicle Belts
• Automatic/Passive vehicle seat belts
You MUST have a lap belt to install any child restraint. An
automatic (passive) shoulder belt may or may not have a
separate lap belt. Consult your vehicle owner's manual.
• Vehicle belts in center of the door
or side panel
You must move the child restraint to
another seating location. Consult your
vehicle owner's manual.
• Vehicle belts that are in front of
the seat bight
You may need to move the child restraint
to another seating location. Consult your
vehicle owner's manual.
• Do Not Use with inflatable seat belts
You may need to move the child restraint to another seating
location or use UAS belts only.
• ELR (Emergency Locking Retractor) vehicle belts
These lap and shoulder belts only lock
in a sudden stop or crash, and do not
properly secure a child restraint alone.
Consult your vehicle owner's manual.
To learn if you have this type of belt,
gently pull the belt all the way out of the retractor (spool), let it
return several inches, then pull on it again. If it moves freely, it
is an ELR belt. If it is locked and will not allow any more belt
to come out, it is a switchable retractor. If you have an ELR lap
and shoulder belt, review the "Vehicle Latch Plate" section to
see if you need a locking clip.
