rear-facing direction and therefore must
not be used in the front seat.
2. Position the child restraint on the seat. Always
follow the child restraint manufacturer’s
instructions.
The back of the child restraint should be se-
cured against the seatback.
If necessary, adjust the head restraint (front
passenger seat only) or remove the head
restraint/headrest to obtain the correct child
restraint fit. If the head restraint or headrest is
removed, store it in a secure place. Be sure to
reinstall the head restraint or headrest
when the child restraint is removed. See
ЉHead restraintsЉ and ЉAdjustable headrestsЉ
for head restraint or headrest adjustment, re-
moval and installation information.
If the seating position does not have a remov-
able head restraint/headrest and it is interfer-
ing with the proper child restraint fit, try an-
other seating position or a different child
restraint.
3. Route the seat belt tongue through the child
restraint and insert it into the buckle until you
hear and feel the latch engage. Be sure to
follow the child restraint manufacturer’s in-
structions for belt routing.
If the child restraint is equipped with a top
tether strap, route the top tether strap and
secure the tether strap to the tether anchor
point (rear seat installation only). See
ЉInstall-
ing top tether strap Љ. Do not install child re-
straints that require the use of a top tether
strap in seating positions that do not have a
top tether anchor.
4. Pull the shoulder belt until the belt is fully
extended. At this time, the seat belt retractor
is in the Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)
mode (child restraint mode). It reverts to the
Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) mode
when the seat belt is fully retracted.
