6. To tighten the belt, feed the shoulder belt back into
the retractor while you push down on the child
restraint. You may find it helpful to use your knee to
push down on the child restraint as you tighten
the belt.
7. Push and pull the child restraint in different
directions to be sure it is secure.
To remove the child restraint, just unbuckle the vehicle’s
safety belt and let it go back all the way. The safety
belt will move freely again and be ready to work for an
adult or larger child passenger.
If you were using a rear-facing child restraint, turn on
the passenger’s airbags when you remove the
rear-facing child restraint from the vehicle unless the
person who will be sitting there is a member of a
passenger airbag risk group. See Airbag Off Switch on
page 1-44.
{
CAUTION:
If the passenger’s airbags are turned off for a
person who is not in a risk group identified by
the national government, that person will not
have the extra protection of the airbags. In a
crash, the airbags would not be able to inflate
and help protect the person sitting there. Do
not turn off the passenger’s airbags unless the
person sitting there is in a risk group. See
Airbag Off Switch on page 1-44 for more on
this, including important safety information.
