When installing a child safety seat withcombination lap and shoulder belts:
•Use the correct seatbelt buckle for thatseating position.
•Insert the belt tongue into the properbuckle until you hear a snap and feel itlatch. Make sure the tongue is securelyfastened in the buckle.
•Keep the buckle release button pointingup and away from the safety seat, withthe tongue between the child restraintand the release button, to preventaccidental unbuckling.
•Place the vehicle seat upon which thechild restraint will be installed in theupright position.
•For second-row seating positions, adjustthe recliner slightly to improve childrestraint fit. If needed, remove the headrestraints.
•For third-row seating positions, stow thehead restraints to improve child restraintfit. See Head Restraints (page 131).
•Put the seatbelt in the automatic lockingmode. See Step 5. This vehicle does notrequire the use of a locking clip.
Perform the following steps when installingthe child restraint with combination lap andshoulder belts:
Note:Although the child restraint illustratedis a forward facing child restraint, the stepsare the same for installing a rear facing childrestraint.
Note:The lock-off device on some childrestraints may not accommodate theshoulder portion of the inflatable seatbelt.Follow all instructions provided by themanufacturer of the child restraint regardingthe necessary and proper use of the lock-offdevice. In some instances these deviceshave been provided only for use in vehicleswith seatbelt systems that would otherwiserequire a locking clip.
Standard seatbelts
1. Position the child safety seat in a seatwith a combination lap and shoulder belt.

2. After positioning the child safety seat inthe proper seating position, pull down onthe shoulder belt and then grasp theshoulder belt and lap belt togetherbehind the belt tongue.
3. While holding the shoulder and lap beltportions together, route the tonguethrough the child restraint according tothe child restraint manufacturer'sinstructions. Be sure the belt webbing isnot twisted.
4. Insert the belt tongue into the properbuckle (the buckle closest to the directionthe tongue is coming from) for thatseating position until you hear a snap andfeel the latch engage. Make sure thetongue is latched securely by pulling onit.
5. To put the retractor in the automaticlocking mode, grasp the shoulder portionof the belt and pull downward until youpull all of the belt out.

7.Try to pull the belt out of the retractor tomake sure the retractor is in theautomatic locking mode (you should notbe able to pull more belt out). If theretractor is not locked, unbuckle the beltand repeat Steps 5 and 6.
8. Remove remaining slack from the belt.Force the seat down with extra weight,for example, by pressing down orkneeling on the child restraint whilepulling up on the shoulder belt in orderto force slack from the belt. This isnecessary to remove the remaining slackthat exists once the extra weight of the
child is added to the child restraint. It alsohelps to achieve the proper snugness ofthe child restraint to your vehicle.Sometimes, a slight lean toward thebuckle provides extra help to removeremaining slack from the belt.
9. Attach the tether strap (if the childrestraint is equipped).
10. Before placing the child in the seat,forcibly move the seat forward and backto make sure the seat is securely heldin place. To check this, grab the seat atthe belt path and attempt to move itside to side and forward and back.There should be no more than 1 in(2.5 cm) of movement for properinstallation.
We recommend checking with a NHTSACertified Child Passenger Safety Technicianto make certain the child restraint is properlyinstalled. In Canada, check with TransportCanada for referral to a Child Car Seat Clinic.
