mode will result in the child restraint

seat, follow these steps:
1. Position the child restraint on the front pas-
senger seat.Move the seat to the rear-
most position.Always follow the child re-
straint manufacturer’s instructions.2. Route the seat belt tongue through the child
restraint and insert the belt tongue into the
buckle until you hear and feel the latch en-
gage.
Be sure to follow the child restraint manu-
facturer’s instructions for belt routing.

remove any slack in the belt.5. Before placing the child in the child restraint,

it is securely held in place. It should not move
more than 1 inch.

ing mode by trying to pull more seat belt out
