To install a LATCH-Compatible child
restraint seat facing-backwards
proceed as follows:
• Make sure that the release lever on
the back of child seat is in the
standby position (retracted).
• Align the anchoring points on the
child seat to the "U" lower metal
rings on the vehicle seat then push
the child seat backward until you
hear it click and lock into place.
• Check that the child seat is correctly
locked by trying to move it with
strength. The incorporated safety
mechanisms prevent the child seat
from being improperly fitted if only
one of the attachment fittings is
locked.
The child must then be secured by the
child seat harness. For installation facing-forward of a
child seat to the "U" lower metal rings
of the vehicle rear seat, proceed as
indicated for facing-backwards child
seat.
Proceed to secure the upper belt, also
called Top Tether (provided with the
child seat), to the attachments located
behind the headrests.
• Lift the plastic cover fitted behind
the seat where you want to install
the child restraint system. • Route the seat belt to provide the
most direct path between the
anchorage and the child restraint
system passing it into gap between
seatback and headrest.
• Attach the hook of the top tether
strap (provided with the child
restraint system) to the anchor.
• Tighten upper strap until you reach
the tension level recommended by
the restraint system manufacturer.Before Starting
