CAUTION:
Children can be seriously injured or strangled if
a shoulder belt is wrapped around their neck
and the safety belt continues to tighten.
Secure any unused safety belts behind the child
restraint so children cannot reach them. Pull the
shoulder belt all the way out of the retractor to
set the lock, if your vehicle has one, after the
child restraint has been installed. Be sure to
follow the instructions of the child restraint
manufacturer.
Notice: Contact between the child restraint LATCH
attachment parts and the vehicle’s safety belt
assembly may cause damage to these parts.
Make sure when securing unused safety belts
behind the child restraint that there is no contact
between the child restraint LATCH attachment parts
and the vehicle’s safety belt assembly.
Folding an empty rear seat with the safety belts
secured may cause damage to the safety belt or the
seat. When removing the child restraint, always
remember to return the safety belts to their normal,
stowed position before folding the rear seat.
If you need to secure more than one child restraint in
the rear seat, see
Where to Put the Restraint on
page 1-38 . Depending on where you place the child
restraint, you may not be able to access certain safety
belt assemblies or LATCH anchors for additional
passengers or child restraints.
