tor which must be used when install-
ing a child restraint.

Failure to use the retractor’s locking
mode may result in the child restraint
not being properly secured. The child
restraint could tip over or otherwise
be unsecured and cause injury to the
child in a sudden stop or collision.
Front facingIf you must install a child restraint in the front
seat, follow these steps:
1. Position the child restraint on the front pas-
senger seat.It should be placed in a front
facing direction only.Move the seat to the
rear most position. Adjust the head restraint
to its highest position. Always follow the child
restraint manufacturer’s instructions.Child
restraints for infants must be used in
the rear facing direction and therefore
must not be used in the front seat.2. Route the seat belt tongue through the child
restraint and insert it into the buckle until you
hear and feel the latch engage.
Be sure to follow the child restraint manufac-
turer’s instructions for belt routing.

fully extended. At this time, the belt retractor
is in the automatic locking mode (child re-

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

securely held in place. It should not move
more than 1 inch (25 mm).

locking mode by trying to pull more belt out of
the retractor. If you cannot pull any more belt
webbing out of the retractor, the belt is in the
