TABLE OF CONTENTS

Installing The Child Restraint Using The Vehicle Seat Belts
• To install a child restraint, first, pull enough of the seat belt webbing from the retractorto route it through the belt path of the child restraint and slide the latch plate into the
buckle until you hear a “click.”
• Grasp the shoulder portion of the belt and pull all of the webbing out of the retractor.
• Allow some of the webbing to retract back into the retractor. As the belt retracts, you will hear a clicking sound indicating that the belt is now in Automatic Locking Mode.
• Tighten the lap portion of the belt and allow the excess webbing to retract back to the retractor. If it still does not make the child restraint secure, then secure the child
restraint with the Child Restraint Tether Anchor.
FRONT SEATS
WARNING!
Adjusting a seat while the vehicle is movi ng is dangerous. The sudden movement of
the seat could cause you to lose control. The seat belt might not be properly adjusted,
and you could be severely injured or killed. Only adjust a seat while the vehicle is
parked.
Manual Seat Adjustment
Forward/Rearward
• Lift up on the adjusting bar located at the front of the seat near the floor and release
at the desired position.

OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE

Adjusting the ride height:
• Raise and support the vehicle. Both left andright side wheels should be lifted off the
ground to allow adjustment of the spring
seats without damage. Never make ride
height adjustments with the suspension
loaded. The helper spring should never be
fully compressed while adjusting ride
heights.
• Remove the wheel and tire assembly.
• Loosen the set screw on the lower spring seat (approx 1 turn).
• To lower the ride height, use the spanner wrench and rotate the lower spring seat counter-clockwise (as viewed fr om below the damper). Use the set screw as a
reference to return to street height.
• To raise the ride height, first turn the seat in the counter-clockwise direction and ensure the threads are clear of debris. Use the spanner wrench and reverse the
direction.
• Tighten the set screw to 22 in-lbs (2.5 N·m). DO NOT over tighten this screw.
• The ride height adjustment sensitivity is as follows: • Front: One turn = 0.104 in. (2.6 mm) height change at frame
• Rear: One turn = 0.134 in. (3.4 mm) height change at frame
