Chrysler 2010 PT Cruiser - User Guide - Manual (Page 12)

• The tether strap should be routed under the center of the head restraint and
attached to the tether anchor on the rear of the seatback.
• Tighten all three straps as you push the child restraint rearward and downward into
the seat.
WARNING!
• Improper installation of a child restraint to the LATCH anchorages can lead to
failure of an infant or child restraint. The child could be badly injured or killed.
Follow the manufacturer’s directions exactly when installing an infant or child
restraint.
• An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to increased head motion and
possible injury to the child. Use only the anchor positions directly behind the
child seat to secure a child restraint top tether strap.
Installing The Child Restraint Using The Vehicle Seat Belts
• To install a child restraint, first, pull enough
of the seat belt webbing from the retractor
to route it through the belt path of the
child restraint and slide the latch plate into
the buckle.
• Next, extract all the seat belt webbing out of the retractor and then allow the belt
to retract into the retractor. Finally, pull on any excess webbing to tighten the lap
portion around the child restraint. Any seat belt system will loosen with time, so
check the belt occasionally and pull it tight if necessary.
• Once you have completed securing the child restraint with the seat belt, secure the
top tether strap. The tether strap should be routed under the center of the head
restraint.
WARNING!
Rearward-facing child seats must NEVER be used in the front seat of a vehicle
with a front passenger airbag. An airbag deployment could cause severe injury or
death to infants in this position.
