INSTALLATION
WARNING:
Toys or other objects
attached to carry handle can cause injury in a crash. Never
attach toys or other objects to handle when in vehicle.
SECURING THE SAFETY SEAT OR BASE
IN THE VEHICLE
Please read carefully section 4.3,
Check that the Vehicle Seat
Belt is Safe to Use
, before proceeding with the installation of
the Safety Seat. Please understand that due to the extremely
large number of vehicles in use today, and the correspondingly
large number of safety belt systems, this section can only provide
guidance, as to the proper installation of the Safety Seat, that
must be combined with the information provided by your vehicle
manufacturer in order to obtain a proper and safe installation.
Failure to properly install and secure the Safety Seat in a rear
facing position within the vehicle increases the child’s risk of
death or serious injury in the event of a sharp turn, sudden stop
or crash. Carefully follow these instructions, and the instructions
provided by your vehicle manufacturer for the installation of child
safety seats, to ensure that the Safety Seat is properly located,
positioned and held tightly installed at all times.
WARNING
7.1 Preparation
1. Park your vehicle on a level surface so that
the level indicator located on the left side of
the Safety Seat will properly indicate the
proper angle of recline of the seat.
2. Make sure you have selected an acceptable
location for the safety seat as instructed in
section
Selecting the Best Location for the
Safety Seat
on page 11.
3. Check again for any Active Air bags.
DO NOT
use any location that has an active air bag or
is adjacent to an Active Air bag such that, when
deployed, the Active Air bag may come into
contact with the Safety Seat. Many passenger
side Active Air bags are designed to deploy
to protect the passenger side as well as the
center front seating position. Please see the
Active Air bag warnings in your vehicle owner’s
manual to help determine unsafe locations
in the vehicle.
4. If the front seat position is used, slide the
vehicle seat as far to the rear as possible to
prevent the safety seat from striking the dash
in a crash. If the rear seat position is used,
slide the vehicle seat directly in front of the
Safety Seat forward enough to prevent the
Safety Seat from striking the vehicle seat back
in a crash.
5. Check that the vehicle seat back is locked in
the upright position and will not fold forward
onto the Safety Seat (Fig. 40-1).
