Cleaning Troubleshooting
Problem Possible Solution
The harness
cannot be
adjusted to its
full height�
Check the seating position where
the child seat is installed. The vehicle
head restraint may obstruct the path
of the child seat harness height
adjuster. Remove or raise the vehicle
head restraint and try adjusting the
harness height again.
The harness is
hard to adjust�
The yoke may be caught on the
tether webbing or other component
of the child seat. Remove the
obstruction and try adjusting the
harness again. Always store the
tether in the pouch provided when
not in use. When the tether is in use,
always secure excess webbing in the
elastic strap. See page 28.
The vehicle seat back may hinder
harness adjustment. Ensure the child
seat base is flat on the vehicle seat.
The harness may be at maximum or
minimum height, the harness may
be too tight to adjust, or the child’s
weight may be pressing against the
head restraint/head pad. Check for
and correct all of the above where
necessary and try adjusting the
harness again.
The adjuster
strap is fraying
at the sides�
Pull the harness adjuster strap up and
away from the child seat to tighten.
Do not pull sideways. Doing so may
cause the harness adjuster strap to
fray at the sides. See page 21.
The buckle will
not fasten with
a click after
each tongue is
inserted�
There may be debris in the buckle
mechanism. Clean the buckle (see
page 40), then try fastening the
buckle again.
