3. The booster seat should be positioned onthe vehicle seat so that it is stable.
If necessary, adjust or remove the head
restraint or headrest to obtain the correct
booster seat fit. If the head restraint or
headrest is removed, store it in a secure
place. Be sure to reinstall the head restraint
or headrest when the booster seat is re-
moved. See “HEAD RESTRAINTS” earlier in
this section or “ADJUSTABLE HEADRESTS”
earlier in this section for head restraint or
headrest adjustment, removal and installa-
tion information. If the seating position does not have an
adjustable head restraint or headrest and it
is interfering with the proper booster seat
fit, try another seating position or a different
booster seat.
4. Position the lap portion of the seat belt
low and snug on the child’s hips. Be sure
to follow the booster seat manufacturer’s
instructions for adjusting the seat belt
routing.
5. Pull the shoulder belt portion of the seat belt toward the retractor to take up extra
slack. Be sure the shoulder belt is posi-
tioned across the top, middle portion of
the child’s shoulder. Be sure to follow the
booster seat manufacturer’s instructions
for adjusting the seat belt routing.
6. Follow the warnings, cautions and in- structions for properly fastening a seat
belt shown in “SEAT BELTS” earlier in this
section. 7. If the booster seat is installed in the front
passenger seat, push the ignition switch
to the ON position. The front passenger
air bag status light
may or may not
illuminate depending on the size of the
child and the type of booster seat used.
See “Front passenger air bag and status
light” page 1-43.
