WARNING: Depending on where you secure a child restraint,
and depending on the child restraint design, you may block

access to certain safety belt buckle assemblies and/or LATCH lower
anchors, rendering those features potentially unusable. To avoid risk of
injury, occupants should only use seating positions where they are able
to be properly restrained.

When installing a child safety seat with combination lap and shoulder
belts:
• Use the correct safety belt buckle for that seating position.
• Insert the belt tongue into the proper buckle until you hear a snap

and feel it latch. Make sure the tongue is securely fastened in the
buckle.

• Keep the buckle release button pointing up and away from the safety

seat, with the tongue between the child seat and the release button,
to prevent accidental unbuckling.

• Place the vehicle seat back in the upright position.
• Put the safety belt in the automatic locking mode. Refer to Step 5.

This vehicle does not require the use of a locking clip.

Perform the following steps when installing the child seat with
combination lap and shoulder belts:

Note: Although the child seat illustrated is a forward facing child seat,
the steps are the same for installing a rear facing child seat.

1. Position the child safety seat in a
seat with a combination lap and
shoulder belt.
