1. Loosen the adjusters on the lower straps
and on the tether strap of the child seat so
that you can more easily attach the hooks or
connectors to the vehicle anchorages.
2. Place the child seat between the lower an-
chorages for that seating position. For some
second row seats, you may need to recline
the seat and/or raise the head restraint to get
a better fit. If the rear seat can be moved
forward and rearward in the vehicle, you
may wish to move it to its rear-most position
to make room for the child seat. You may
also move the front seat forward to allow
more room for the child seat.
3. Attach the lower hooks or connectors of the
child restraint to the lower anchorages in the
selected seating position.
4. If the child restraint has a tether strap, con-
nect it to the top tether anchorage. See the
section "Installing Child Restraints Using the
Top Tether Anchorage" for directions to at-
tach a tether anchor.
5. Tighten all of the straps as you push the child
restraint rearward and downward into the
seat. Remove slack in the straps according
to the child restraint manufacturer's instruc-
tions.
6. Test that the child restraint is installed tightly
by pulling back and forth on the child seat at
the belt path. It should not move more than 1
inch (25.4 mm) in any direction.
Installing Child Restraints Using The
Vehicle Seat Belt
The seat belts in the rear passenger seating
positions are equipped with a Switchable Auto-
matic Locking Retractor (ALR) that is designed
to keep the lap portion of the seat belt tight
around the child restraint. The ALR retractor can
be "switched" into a locked mode by pulling all
of the webbing out of the retractor and then
letting the webbing retract back into the retrac-
tor. If it is locked, the ALR will make a clicking
noise while the webbing is pulled back into the
retractor. For additional information on ALR,
refer to the "Automatic Locking Mode" descrip-
tion under "Occupant Restraints."
