CAUTION
rn
Dl
A ThL,, is no place to anchor a
-
child restraint with a top strap
behind the rear seats of your
vehicle. In a crash, the child
restraint with a top strap would not
be properly secured in a rear seat,
so the child's injuries could be
increased. Don't try to anchor a
child restraint with a top strap in a
rear seat.
Attaching the Top Strap
-
Right
Front Passenger Position Only
If the child restraint is equipped with a
top strap, follow these instructions for
securing it. Once a child restraint with a
top strap has been secured in the right
front seat (see "Securing a Child
Restraint in the Right Front Seat" in the
Index), hook the top strap
to
the latch
plate on the right rear seat lap-shoulder
belt.
Then, remove as much slack as possible
from the top strap.
Pull the rear sear lap-shoulder belt all
the way out to switch it to the ratcheting
mode. Allow the lap-shoulder belt to
feed back into the retractor. Listen for
clicking to be sure the safety belt
remains in the ratcheting mode.
If slack remains in the top strap, move
the right front seat forward just enough
to eliminate the slack.
When
a
child restraint with a top strap is
being used, no one can sit in the right
rear position.
