4. Pull the shoulder belt all the way
out of the retractor to set the lock.
When the retractor lock is set, the
belt can be tightened but not
pulled out of the retractor.
5. To tighten the belt, push down on
the child restraint, pull the
shoulder portion of the belt to
tighten the lap portion of the belt,
and feed the shoulder belt back
into the retractor. When installing
a forward-facing child restraint, it
may be helpful to use your knee to
push down on the child restraint as
you tighten the belt.
Try to pull the belt out of the
retractor to make sure the retractor
is locked. If the retractor is not
locked, repeat Steps 4 and 5.
6. For forward-facing child restraints,
attach and tighten the top tether to
the top tether anchor (loop). Refer
to the child restraint instructions,
the vehicle LATCH anchor weight
limits, and instructions listed in
Lower Anchors and Tethers for
Children (LATCH System)
.
7. Before placing a child in the child
restraint, make sure it is securely
held in place. To check, grasp the
child restraint at the seat belt path
and attempt to move it side to side
and back and forth. When the child
restraint is properly installed, there
should be no more than
2.5 cm (1 in) of movement.
To remove the child restraint,
unbuckle the vehicle seat belt and let
it return to the stowed position. If the
top tether is attached to a top tether
anchor, disconnect it.
If the head restraint was removed,
reinstall it before the seating position
is used. See "Head Restraint Removal
and Reinstallation" under
Anchors and Tethers for Children
(LATCH System)
for additional
information on installing the head
restraint properly.
