Installing the Child Restraint Using the Vehicle Seat Belts
•To install a child restraint, first pull enough of the seat belt webbing from the retractor to route
it through the belt path of the child restraint, and then slide the latch plate into the buckle.
• Next, extract all the seat belt webbing out of the retractor and then allow the belt to retract
into the retractor. Finally, pull on any excess webbing to tighten the lap portion around the child
restraint.Any seat belt system will loosen with time, so check the belt occasionally, and pull it
tight if necessary.
• Once you have completed securing the child restraint with the seat belt, secure the top tether
strap.The tether strap should be routed under the center of the head restraint.
WARNING!
•In a collision, an unrestrained child, even a tiny baby, can become a projectile inside
the vehicle.The force required to hold even an infant on your lap could become so
great that you could not hold the child, no matter how strong you are.The child and
others could be badly injured.Any child riding in your vehicle should be in a proper
restraint for the child's size.
• Improper installation of a child restraint to the anchorages can lead to failure of an
infant or child restraint.The child could be severely injured or killed. Follow the
manufacturer’s directions exactly when installing an infant or child restraint.
• An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to increased head motion and
possible injury to the child. Use only the anchor positions directly behind the child
seat to secure a child restraint top tether strap.
• Rearward-facing child seats must never be used in the front seat of a vehicle with a
front passenger air bag.An air bag deployment could cause severe injury or death to
infants in this position.
