• Tighten all three straps as you push the

child restraint rearward and downward
into the seat.

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 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 attached to the tether anchor on the rear
of the seatback using the most direct path. For the outboard seating positions, route
the tether underneath the head rest and attach the hook to the tether anchor
located on the back of the seat.

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 severely injured or killed. 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 LATCH 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 airbag. An airbag deployment could cause severe injury
or death to infants in this position.
