In the rear seat, you may have trouble tightening the
lap/shoulder belt on the child restraint because the
buckle or latch plate is too close to the belt path opening
on the restraint. Disconnect the latch plate from the
buckle and twist the short buckle-end belt several times
to shorten it. Insert the latch plate into the buckle with the
release button facing out.
If the belt still cannot be tightened, or if by pulling and
pushing on the restraint loosens the belt, you may need
to do something more. Disconnect the latch plate from
the buckle, turn the buckle around, and insert the latch
plate into the buckle again. If you still can't make the
child restraint secure, try a different seating position.To attach a child restraint tether strap:
Route the tether strap over the front passenger seat back
and attach the hook to the tether anchor located on the
back of the seat. For the rear outboard seating positions,
route the tether over the rear seat and attach to the rear
floor tether anchors. If the Add-A-TrunkŸ option is
present in the vehicle, the lid should be opened and
positioned against the back of the rear seat prior to
attaching and adjusting the strap.
