belt tight, however, any seat belt system will loosen
with time, so check the belt occasionally and pull it
tight if necessary). For the second and third row seat
belts with the automatic locking retractor, pull the belt
from the retractor until there is enough to allow you to
pass through the child restraint and slide the latch
plate into the buckle. Then, pull the belt until it is fully
extracted from the retractor. Allow the belt to return to
the retractor, pulling on the excess webbing to tighten
the lap portion about the child restraint. For additional
information, refer toAutomatic Locking Modeear-
lier in this section.
•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 pulling and
pushing on the restraint loosens the belt, disconnect
the latch plate from the buckle, turn the buckle
around, and insert the latch plate into the buckle
again. If you still cannot make the child restraint
secure, try a different seating position.
•Buckle the child into the restraint exactly as the
manufacturer’s instructions tell you.
•When your child restraint is not in use, secure it in the
vehicle with the seat belt or remove it from the vehicle.
Do not leave it loose in the vehicle. In a sudden stop or
collision, it could strike the occupants or seat backs
and cause serious personal injury.
