6. After attaching the child restraint, test it be-fore you place the child in it. Push it from side
to side while holding the child restraint near
the LATCH attachment path. The child re-
straint should not move more than 1 inch
(25 mm) , from side to side. Try to tug it
forward and check to see if the LATCH at-
tachment holds the restraint in place. If the
restraint is not secure, tighten the LATCH
attachment as necessary, or put the restraint
in another seat and test it again. You may
need to try a different child restraint or try
installing by using the vehicle seat belt (if
applicable) . Not all child restraints fit in all
types of vehicles. 7. Check to make sure the child restraint is
properly secured prior to each use. If the
child restraint is loose, repeat steps 1
through 6.REAR-FACING CHILD RESTRAINT

WARNING
The three-point seat belt with Automatic
Locking Retractor (ALR) must be used
when installing a child restraint. Failure to
use the ALR mode will result in the child
restraint not being properly secured. The
restraint could tip over or be loose and
cause injury to a child in a sudden stop or
collision. Also, it can change the opera-
tion of the front passenger air bag. See
“Front passenger air bag and status light”
later in this section.Refer to all Warnings and Cautions in the “Child
Safety” and “Child Restraint” sections before in-
stalling a child restraint.
Follow these steps to install a rear-facing child
restraint using the vehicle seat belts in the rear
seats:1. Child restraints for infants must be
used in the rear-facing direction and
therefore must not be used in the front
seat. Position the child restraint on the seat.
Always follow the restraint manufacturer’s
instructions. 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 manufacturer’s in-
structions for belt routing.

when the seat belt is fully retracted. 4. Allow the seat belt to retract. Pull up on the
shoulder belt to remove any slack in the belt. 5. Remove any additional slack from the seat
belt; press downward and rearward firmly in
the center of the child restraint to compress
the vehicle seat cushion and seatback while
pulling up on the seat belt.

WARNING
●The three-point seat belt with Auto-
matic Locking Retractor (ALR) must be
used when installing a child restraint.
Failure to use the ALR mode will result
in the child restraint not being properly
secured. The restraint could tip over or
be loose and cause injury to a child in a
sudden stop or collision. Also, it can
change the operation of the front pas-
senger air bag. See “Front passenger
air bag and status light” later in this
section.
● A child restraint system will not be in-
stalled properly and the child could be
seriously injured or killed in a sudden
stop or collision.
– Never install a rear-facing child re- straint system on the driver’s side
jump seat.
– Do not install a child restraint system on the passenger’s side jump seat
without unfolding the seat extender.
WARNING
●To install a rear-facing child restraint on
the passenger’s side jump seat, it will
be necessary to move the front passen-
ger’s seat fully forward and place the
front seatback upright or tilt it forward.
Failure to do so may cause the child
restraint to not be installed properly
and cause serious injury or death in a
sudden stop or collision. – The front seat cannot be used when a
rear-facing child restraint is installed
on the jump seat. Attempting to do so
could cause serious injury in a sud-
den stop or collision.
