Saturn 2009 ASTRA - Manual (Page 58)

If the child restraint has the LATCH
system, see Lower Anchors and
Tethers for Children (LATCH)
on page 1-46 for how and where to
install the child restraint using
LATCH. If a child restraint is secured
in the seating position using a
safety belt and it uses a top tether,
see Lower Anchors and Tethers
for Children (LATCH) on page 1-46
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.
When the passenger sensing
system has turned off the
right front passenger frontal and
seat-mounted side impact
airbag, the off indicator on the
passenger airbag status indicator
should light and stay lit when
you start the vehicle. See
Passenger Airbag Status
Indicator on page 4-15.
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.
4. Push the latch plate into the
buckle until it clicks.
Position the release button on
the buckle so that the safety belt
could be quickly unbuckled if
necessary.
