Any seat belt system will loosen with time, so check the

belt occasionally, and pull it tight if necessary.
If the buckle or the cinching latch plate is too close to the

belt path opening of the child restraint, you may have

trouble tightening the seat belt. If this happens, discon-

nect the latch plate from the buckle and twist the short

buckle-end belt up to three full turns to shorten it. Insert

the latch plate into the buckle with the release button

facing out, away from the child restraint. Repeat steps 4

to 6, above, to complete the installation of the child

restraint.
If the belt still cannot be tightened after you shorten the

buckle, disconnect the latch plate from the buckle, turn

the buckle around one half turn, and insert the latch plate

into the buckle again. If you still cannot make the child

restraint installation tight, try a different seating position.

Installing Child Restraints Using The Top Tether
Anchorage

Look behind the seating position where you plan

to install the child restraint to find the tether

anchorage. You may need to move the seat for-

ward to provide better access to the tether anchor-

age. If there is no top tether anchorage for that seating

position (see the charts above), move the child restraint to

another position in the vehicle if one is available.
1. Rotate or lift the cover to access the anchor directly

behind the seat where you are placing the child restraint.

2. Route the tether strap to provide the most direct path

for the strap between the anchor and the child seat. If

your vehicle is equipped with adjustable rear head

restraints, raise the head restraint, and where possible,

route the tether strap under the head restraint and

between the two posts. If not possible, lower the head
