F-4 Install Rear-Facing with
Vehicle Belts
Review section D-4 to determine what kind of vehicle belts you
have. Review your vehicle's owner manual for seat belt use.
Do not use the UAS along with
the vehicle lap or lap/shoulder
belt. Secure UAS belts when
using the vehicle belts.
Check the vehicle belt before each use. Use
only if the belt is tightened properly and
securely.
Secure the tether hook to the
tether attachment when used
rear-facing.
Fully recline the child restraint and rotate the
child restraint to the correct recline angle that
matches the weight of your child. Do not use any
other recline positions rear facing. Do not rotate
the child restraint beyond the bottom or top level
to ground lines.
Failure to follow these warnings can result in
serious injury or death.
