7.4 Setting Proper Recline of
the Infant Seat / Base
For your child's safety, the Infant
Seat must be properly reclined
when installed in the vehicle.
The Infant Seat includes a Seat
Angle Indicator on the lower
portion of the shell on the child's
left side, to assist in achieving
the proper angle of recline for
the Infant Seat. (Fig. 46-2)
WARNING
Failure to properly recline the Infant Seat on the vehicle seat
increases the risk of death or serious injury. If the Infant
Seat is positioned too upright, the child's head may drop
forward and result in breathing problems. If the Infant Seat
is too reclined, excessive force may be exerted on the child's
shoulders and neck in a crash. The following instructions
must be carefully followed to ensure proper recline angle for
the Infant Seat.

the vehicle is parked on level ground.
Lock the Infant Seat onto the Base and
check that the Infant Seat is level side
to side on the vehicle seat. (Fig. 47-1)
Check the Seat Angle Indicator that
matches the weight of your child.
• If the Seat Angle Indicator shows NO
red, the seat is installed at the proper
level of recline.

ANY red, the Infant Seat is either
too upright or too reclined. If the
seat is too upright, extend the foot
one position at a time just until no
red shows. To extend the foot of the
base, pull downward on the hand hold
as shown in Fig. 47-2 while holding
onto the base. To retract the foot,
press inward on the lock button as
shown in Fig. 47-3 and push upward
on the foot. Be careful not to pinch
your finger as the foot retracts.
