Installing a Child Restraint System
After selecting a proper child
restraint system, and a good position
to install the restraint system, there
are three main steps in installing the
restraint system:
1. Properly secure the child restraint

restraint systems are designed to
be secured to the vehicle with the
lap part of a lap/shoulder belt.
Some child restraint systems can
be secured to the vehicle's lower
anchorages instead. Follow the
system manufacturer's
instructions. A restraint system
which is not properly secured to
the vehicle can endanger the life
of the child, and other occupants
in a crash.
See pages 41 46 , and 57 for
instructions on how to properly
secure child restraint systems in this
vehicle.

installing a child restraint system,
push and pull the restraint system
forward and from side-to-side to
verify that it is secure.
To provide security during normal
driving manoeuvres as well as during
a collision, we recommend that
parents secure a child restraint
system as firmly as possible.
However, a child restraint system
does not need to be ''rock solid.'' In
some vehicles or seating positions, it
may be difficult to install a child
restraint system so that it does not
move at all. Some side-to-side or
back-and-forth movement can be
expected and should not reduce the
child restraint system's effectiveness.
