1998 Oldsmobile Aurora ECU

Top Strap If your child restraint has a top strap, your retailer can
obtain
a kit with anchor hardware and installation
instructions specifically designed for this vehicle. The
retailer can then install the anchor for you. In Canada,
this work will be done
for you free of charge. Or, you
may install the anchor yourself using the instructions
provided in the
kit.
Securing a Child Restraint in a Rear
Outside Seat Position
If your child restraint has a top strap, it should be
anchored.
If you need to have an anchor installed, you
can
ask your Aurora retailer to put it in for you. If you
want to install
an anchor yourself, your retailer can tell
you how
to do it.
Canadian law requires that child restraints have a top
strap, and that the strap be anchored. You’ll
be using the lap-shoulder belt. See the earlier
part about the top strap
if the child restraint has one. Be
sure to follow the instructions that came with the child
restraint. Secure the child in the child restraint when and
as
the instructions say.
1. Put the restraint on the seat.

5. To tighten the belt, pull up on the shoulder belt while
you push down on the child restraint. If you're using
a forward-facing child restraint, you may find it
helpful to use your knee to push down on the child
restraint as you tighten the belt.
6. Push and pull the child restraint in different
directions
to be sure it is secure.
To remove the child restraint, just unbuckle the vehicle's
safety belt and let it
go back all the way. The safety belt
will move freely
again and be ready to work for an adult
or larger child passenger.
Securing a Child Restraint in the Center

You'll be using the lap belt. Be sure to follow the
instructions that came with the child restraint. Secure
the child in the child restraint when and as the
instructions say.

Securing a Child Restraint in the Right
Front Seat Position
n
u
Your vehicle has a right front passenger air bag. Never
put a rear-facing child restraint in this seat. Here’s why:
A child in a rearfacing child restraint can be
seriously injured or killed
if the right front
passenger’s air bag inflates, even though your
vehicle has reduced-force frontal
air bags. This is
because the back of the rear-facing child
restraint would be very close to the inflating
air
bag. Always secure a rear-facing child restraint
in the rear seat.
You’ll be using the lap-shoulder belt. See the earlier part
about the top strap if the child restraint has one. Be sure
to follow the instructions that came with the child
restraint. Secure the child in the child restraint when and
as the instructions say.
I. Because your vehicle has a right front passenger air
bag, always move the seat
as far back as it will go
before securing a forward-facing child restraint. (See
“Seats”
in the Index.)
2. Put the restraint on the seat.

6. To tighten the belt, feed the lap belt back into the
retractor while you push down on the child restraint.
You may find it helpful to use your knee to push
down on the child restraint as
you tighten the belt.
7. Push and pull the child restraint in different
directions to be sure
it is secure.
To remove the child restraint, just unbuckle the vehicle’s
safety belt and let
it go back all the way. The safety belt
will move freely again and be ready to work for an adult
or larger child passenger.
Larger Children
Children who have outgrown child restraints should
wear the vehicle’s safety belts.
