Safety features of your vehicle
To install a child restraint system on
the rear seats, do the following:
1. Place the child restraint system
on a rear seat and route the lap/
shoulder belt around or through
the child restraint, following the
restraint manufacturer's instruc -
tions.
Be sure the seat belt webbing is
not twisted.
2. Fasten the lap/shoulder belt latch
into the buckle. Listen for the dis -
tinct "click" sound.
Position the release button so
that it is easy to access in case of
an emergency.

3. Pull the shoulder portion of the
seat belt all the way out. When
the shoulder portion of the seat
belt is fully extended, it will shift
the retractor to the "automatic
locking" (child restraint) mode.

4. Slowly allow the shoulder portion
of the seat belt to retract and lis -
ten for an audible "clicking" or
"ratcheting" sound. This indicates
that the retractor is in the "auto -
matic locking" mode. If no distinct
sound is heard, repeat steps 3 and
4.

5. Remove as much slack from the
belt as possible by pushing down
on the child restraint system
while feeding the shoulder belt
back into the retractor.
6. Push and pull on the child
restraint system to confirm that
the seat belt is holding it firmly in
place. If it is not, release the seat
belt and repeat steps 2 through 6.
