SAFETY
Installing a Child Seat with a Lap/Shoulder Seat Belt
1. Place the child seat on the vehicle seat.
2. Route the seat belt through the child seat
according to the seat manufacturer's
instructions, and insert the latch plate into the
buckle. Insert the latch plate fully until it clicks.
3. Slowly pull the shoulder part of the belt all the
way out until it stops. This activates the lockable
retractor.
4. Let the seat belt completely wind up into the
retractor, then try to pull it out to make sure the
retractor is locked. If you are able to pull the
shoulder belt out, the lockable retractor is not
activated. Pull the seat belt all the way out, and
repeat steps 3 – 4.
5. Grab the shoulder part of the seat belt near the
buckle, and pull up to remove any slack from
the lap part of the belt. When doing this, place
your weight on the child seat and push it into the
vehicle seat.
6. Make sure the child seat is firmly secured by
rocking it forward and back and side to side; little
movement should be felt.
7. Make sure any unused seat belt that a child
can reach is buckled, the lockable retractor
is activated, and the belt is fully retracted and
locked.
To deactivate a lockable retractor, release the buckle and allow the seat belt to
wind up all the way.

Adding Security with a Tether
A tether anchorage point is provided behind each second- and third-row seating
position. If you have a child restraint system that comes with a tether but can be
installed with a seat belt, the tether may be used for additional security.
Using a second-row anchor
1. For outer positions: Raise the outer head
restraint to its highest position, then route the
tether strap between the head restraint legs, and
secure the tether strap hook onto the anchor.
Make sure the strap is not twisted.
For the center position: Lower the center head
restraint to its lowest position, then route the
tether strap over the top of the head restraint,
and secure the tether strap hook onto the anchor.
Make sure the strap is not twisted.
2. Tighten the tether strap as instructed by the child
seat manufacturer.
Using a third-row anchor
1. Route the tether strap hook between the head
restraint legs, and secure the tether strap hook
onto the anchor. Make sure the strap is not
twisted.
2. Secure the tether strap hook onto the anchor.
3. Tighten the tether strap as instructed by the child
seat manufacturer.
