5. To tighten the belt, push down on the child restraint,
pull the shoulder portion of the belt to tighten
the lap portion of the belt, and feed the shoulder
belt back into the retractor. If you are using a
forward-facing child restraint, you may find it
helpful to use your knee to push down on the
child restraint as you tighten the belt.

6. If your child restraint has a top tether, follow the
child restraint manufacturer's instructions regarding
the use of the top tether. See Lower Anchors
and Tethers for Children (LATCH) on page 1-39
for more information.
7. Push and pull the child restraint in different
directions to be sure it is secure.
To remove the child restraint, unbuckle the vehicle's
safety belt and let it go back all the way. If the top
tether is attached to a top tether anchor, disconnect it.
Securing a Child Restraint in
the Right Front Seat Position

(With Passenger Sensing System)

Your vehicle has airbags. A rear seat is a safer place
to secure a forward-facing child restraint. See Where
to Put the Restraint on page 1-38.
In addition, your vehicle has a passenger sensing system
which is designed to turn off the right front passenger's
frontal airbag under certain conditions. See Passenger
Sensing System on page 1-69 and Passenger Airbag
Status Indicator on page 3-30 for more information on
this, including important safety information.
A label on your sun visor says, "Never put a rear-facing
child seat in the front." This is because the risk to the
rear-facing child is so great, if the airbag deploys.
