Chevrolet HHR Owner Manual - 2011

WARNING: (Continued)

Secure rear-facing child restraints in a rear
seat, even if the airbag is off. If you secure a
forward-facing child restraint in the right front seat,
always move the front passenger seat as far back
as it will go. It is better to secure the child restraint
in a rear seat.

See Passenger Sensing System on page 2‑68
for additional information.

If the vehicle does not have a rear seat that will
accomodate a rear‐facing child restraint, a rear-facing
child restraint should not be installed in the vehicle,
even if the airbag is off.

If your child restraint has the LATCH system, see
Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH) on
page 2‑45
for how and where to install the child
restraint using LATCH. If a child restraint is secured
using a safety belt and it uses a top tether, see Lower
Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH) on
page 2‑45
for top tether anchor locations.

Do not secure a child seat in a position without a top
tether anchor if a national or local law requires that the
top tether be anchored, or if the instructions that come
with the child restraint say that the top strap must be
anchored.

In Canada, the law requires that forward-facing child
restraints have a top tether, and that the tether be
attached.

You will be using the lap-shoulder belt to secure the
child restraint in this position. Follow the instructions
that came with the child restraint.

1. Move the seat as far back as it will go before

securing the forward-facing child restraint.

2. Put the child restraint on the seat.

3. Pick up the latch plate, and run the lap and

shoulder portions of the vehicle's safety belt
through or around the restraint. The child restraint
instructions will show you how.
