Figure A illustrates a typical rear-facing, lap/shoulder belt
installation.
When not in use, always store LATCH connectors in storage
slots. (see page 28).
Fully recline restraint then place it rear facing on
vehicle seat.
Lift cover to open rear-facing lock-off farthest from
where vehicle belt will be buckled.
Pull vehicle belt out then pass it through farthest
rear-facing belt slot from where vehicle belt will be
buckled (fig. B).
Vehicle belt can be routed over or under cover.
Route vehicle belt across seat, behind buckle strap,
then through second rear-facing belt slot.
Verify vehicle belt is not twisted, then buckle
(fig. C).
Push restraint firmly into seat while removing
slack first from the lap portion of vehicle belt, then
shoulder portion (fig. D).
Lift cover to access lock-off farthest from vehicle
buckle. Position both sections of vehicle belt
through lock-off, tighten belt, close lock-off arm
(fig. E) and replace cover.
Lock-off is properly closed when a click is heard.
To prevent breakage, never extend lock-off arm beyond its
natural open position and always keep lock-off closed when
not in use.
If your vehicle is equipped with an automatic locking
retractor (ALR), use of lock-offs is not required as long as
ALR is activated. Check your vehicle’s owner’s manual to
determine type of retractor your vehicle has, and for proper
use of retractor.
